Nice looking car. Have fun with it.

As far as the head gasket, and I am far from an expert (only worth $.001), but I think I would run it for awhile and see if it leaks more. Unless you are looking for something to do, then go ahead and check it out and change it.

I think I would be more concerned about why the pipe attached to the oil input pipe. Does it smoke, does it have a lot of "blow by" etc.? In other words, why the pipe.
