What happens to a car if there is no antifreeze in it in the winter time?

Pure water will freeze below 32 and water tends to expand as it freezes. It could damage the engine block, heads and radiator among other things. If you could get the car to run the engine block will melt the water in the engine but the parts that don't melt will trap the water as it becomes super heated. Head gaskets, the heads themselves and the engine block can be damaged. The superheated water will be like a bomb and will eventually get out somewhere in the system.
