That is a beautiful little coupe your Dad put together, and a very desirable, hence not cheap, body style. It is also unmolested and unchopped which will help boost the price.

I was happy to see that when you posted the same question on the HAMB most of the members there said pretty much what I had suggested, that you try to keep the car in the family. However, only you can make that decision........it could be that the survivors are not car people, or that you need the money to settle up the estate or provide for his Widow, if there is one. We are not trying to tell you how to run your life, but being car lovers ourselves we know that these things become more than steel and rubber, they are a part of our lives.

I also don't know how recently your Dad passed, so maybe the pain of looking at the car right now is too fresh and hard to take. But consider this, your Dad owned that care for 30 years, and put a lot of love and effort into it. What do you think he would want you to do with it? My bets are that he would be thrilled to see it remain with those people he loved, and to see them use it as it was intended. I also feel he would be sitting right there beside you every time you took the wheel.

If money isn't an issue, take your time to make a decision. Throw a cover over it and see how you feel in a few months or more. You have a chance here to keep a part of your Dad alive, and those of us who suggested you keep it don't want you to make a decision you will regret later on. If my Sons sell of any of my cars to some strangers, I will come back and haunt them BIGTIME!!!
