The person I sold the pink 59 to a few years ago contacted me today offering my old car back to me. Apparently it has a blown head gasket. I did the paint/body work on the car a few years ago and it was running well when it was sold, it made a trip to texas and back under its own steam. I have no idea what its value is as I've been out of this for a while and now can bring it back as a toy rather than daily transportation. Its a 59 basic Lark 2 door sedan 3 speed/overdrive with flathead 6 and hill-holder. There are a few questions in my mind that can't be addressed till the engine is cracked open.. a. is the block cracked or head warped.
b. how long did the engine run allowing coolant/oil to mix.. meaning bearings throughout.
Any tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated
