AUGH! 760GLE BHG! (blown head gasket) 700 1985

I'm going to have the gasket replaced, and sell the old girl, decided to trade her for a turbo wagon.
better gas mileage, timing belt instead of chain, and several other factors are driving this decision. Anyone want a 150k kilometer 760GLE sedan with great paint, no rust, two small dents on the passenger side, and a perfect interior in black leather (drooping headliner) and premium sound? :P

the closest volvo dealer is a ferry ride away, and there's supposedly an independant guy who runs a repair shop that does nothing but volvos, and has been working on them for over 20 years. I think I'll yak at him about it and see what it'll cost to do my gasket.

I've always liked the 7x5s looks better than the 7x4s. I'd like to find a 760 turbo estate from the late 80s, I've heard good of them

thanks for the help, and any tips and tricks you may have, please keep them coming!
