From the tone of your post it sounds like you think a blown head gasket mandates replacing the car... why?
Unless the engine was run hot for a period of time (and thus warped the head), you should be able to replace the head gasket and continue enjoying the car. Even if the head is warped or there is other damage, you could toss a junkyard engine in there...
