    I love this car. Reminds me of the one I had. Would love to buy it, give it a good detail job, and enjoy it. The head gasket issue would worry me a little. Price started at $20,000. Now at $7,500. I think reality set in. I still think it might be a tad high considering the engine issues.

    That's an Honest looking Survivor! I agree that the price is still a bit optimistic with no real explanation on how it is leaking? Into a Cylinder? Coolant mixing with oil? Or is it just leaking out the seam between the block and the head? I had an old 52 Flathead 8 Pontiac that just weeped coolant from the side of the head and block, drove it like that for several months topping off the coolant as the broke student that I was could not afford the $20 for the gasket set it needed. I must have put at least 4 times that much in coolant in it.
    Then when summer break hit I broke down and spent 2 days replacing the gasket. Ran perfectly for the remainder of its life a few months later a drunk Frat boy ran a read light and T-boned it in the passenger side door. Bent the frame but I survived with a few bruises. The frat boy was never the same. Face hit the windshield. He also survived but had some broken bones and facial scares. He held it against me for the rest of the time I knew him. Jerk before he hit me, bigger jerk after.

    Sorry for the tangent.
