Enjoy the car. Fix it when it breaks. And consider doing preventative maintenance such as rod bearings. If it’s the main bearings, you are exceptionally unlucky.
You think there's a chance that I might be able to get the car running again by just changing the bearings and maybe polish the crank?

Still of course need to drop the oil pan and see what's going on. But if its not a main bearing failure and the rod bearing seized onto the crank I wonder if this motor can be saved without breaking the bank.
