Broken down in Nebraska - In Need of Advice!

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Driving my 1997 CSE with less than 80k miles from Boston when the check radiator light came on in Iowa. Added anti-freeze and the car drove another 2 hours before the light returned. Let the engine cool for 2 hours, tried driving on it again hoping it was a sensor. Overheated near a Chevy mechanic who quoted me $1300-$1500+ for what he assumed to be a warped Head Gasket and leak.
Really do not want to abandon this car but am not sure if it's worth the cost of repair with the possibility that it could break down again soon after. Is the 1300+ excessive?
Thank you in advance,
Alex
