144 going in for major surgery. 140-160 1974

I am in Calgary. My big sob story is that I found this car that had belonged to a little old lady who passed away, but was the only owner of the car. It had 83000 original miles on it and hadn't been driven since 1986. It came back clean from the mechanical inspection, but I soon learned that they must have somehow missed the fact that it was burning oil. I re-did the head hoping that maybe it was the valve guides/seals but alas, it seems to be the rings. I did see a 142 for sale here, but I didn't get a chance to look at it. I love the car, but I don't think I'm willing to throw a lot of money at it with the amount of rust it has...
