You might find someone to buy it that intends to repair the car and drive it (or sell it at a profit), but they are going to want it just as cheaply as the scrap guys... Find a cheap(er) indy mechanic to do the headgasket. Then either sell the car for what it's worth (probably a couple thousand tops) or go buy whatever you want. -Fred W
