This sounds like a good candidate for a diesel conversion.

That's a shame
Why not pop a set of heads on it. PM me, maybe I can help because I have a set of '84 500 SEL heads I don't need anymore. I'll practically give them to you if that will help you out. All you'd need is a gasket set.

Sell it to the state of California?
I am pretty sure that the State of California will buy it back, if it runs, and you have a clear title to it, in your name for at least 2 years, for around $600.
The program "Voluntary accellerated vehicle Retirement program" does exist. generally, see http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/avrp/avrpeo.htm

I'll help you install the generous Woodyk's heads offer. I am sure we can get a local wrenching party to help you get it back on the road. Michael
