Let us all be logical for a moment, shall we?
When he says his car burned thru all of that oil, that is likely a bit wrong. Surprisingly, a lot of people do not understand how to check their oil, let alone properly. Between the low and full marks on your dipstick, that only represents roughly a quart of oil inside the engine. It does NOT represent the total amount of oil in the engine .
These are questions that people should be asking the OP before they got spewing ignorant assumptions.
Needs a rebuild? Over what? A little oil smoke at the top of the rev range? That is completely normal for a high mileage factory motor.
One of the 7's I pulled out of a field after years of being inoperable smoked like a freight train for several days worth of driving before it only started smoking around 6500 revs.
Jesus H. Christ, the question about what kind of oil the OP is using is the only reply that is worth a damn.

Yes, you are correct.. It could very well be the oil control rings as they are the most common cause of oil smoke higher up in the rev range. Now, that being said, if your reading comprehension skills are really that terrible that I have to explain this to you, fine:
I wasn't attacking *you*, I was actually defending you to the ignorant flood of responses.
Don't get your panties in a twist, child...

I guess I shouldn't have went under the assumption that he knows how to read his dipstick. Ace is right it only represents the last quart that tops off the system.
If he ran it until it was actually empty the engine would have no oil pressure , therefor no lubrication, and oil also contributes to cooling the engine so it will not only have no protection to the internals, it will also cause overheating.
Wouldn't take long before engine failure occurs.
