After a lot of waiting the verdict is finally in

"They then proceeded with compression testing. The compression is coming back with a wide range of results which indicates engine damage. The bad valves are in the front, so hydro lock is the probable cause. He could do further work, but that means taking the engine apart. It'll probably cost more to do that than the car is worth."

Looks like we'll either be parting it out or selling it as a project/parts car.

Anyone interested PM me with offers for parts or the car itself. Conte's has offered to help part the car out, but I don't know how that role will exactly work. Solid interest in parts or the car itself will influence what we decide to do with it.

I'm on my way out of town for the next few days to help my grandmother in Ft Lauderdale. Any messages sent after tomorrow morning won't get reply until Sunday or early next week.

Thanks again for all the morale support. I wish this were going to turn out better, but I'm alive and well so I can't complain too much.
