hello everybody, im new here so please excuse me if i make some newbie mistakes. anyways i'd like to get some help from you guys on my problem. my dad owns a 1970 GT500. I love her like shes mine tho and i hope that one day she will be all mine. heres where my problems start tho. my dad is the second owner of this car. its pretty much all original. 54,000 miles on it. its grabber blue, automatic (i wish it was a 4 speed but its kinda crazy even having a car like this), white interior its pretty cool lookin. anyways my dad put it into storage probably 12 years ago. it ran good when we put it away but he stored it in a barn with a dirt floor and no tarp on it. we took it out of storage 2 years ago and brought it home, somebody had opened one of the back windows and a coon got in and ate up all the interior pretty much, the paints shot, and it could use a lot of TLC. it needs a little body work and probably an engine and trans overhaul and all kinds of things. it has no brakes right now pretty much. basically its gonna need a frame off to get her lookin good again. my dad and i love this car and he let me drive it around the block once (yes in the bad condition its in right now but it still drives and runs at least haha) and he was really happy to see me driving it. i want to get it restored and so does he...problem is we dont have any money to do that sort of thing. we buy parts here and there for it but he wants to do all the work ourselves which i think would be cool but both of us are too busy to do that sort of thing and so i want to take it to somebody to have it fixed up sometime. what are your guy's opinions on that matter? we have people stopping over all the time trying to buy it from us but my dad wont sell it and i dont want him to either. i know we cant afford to have it fixed for a while but it has tons of sedimental value for the both of us. some of my best memories as a child were sitting in the passenger side and being pushed back into the seat as he put the pedal down. most people think we should just sell it but i want to fix it one day. what would you guys do if you know you wouldnt be able to fix a car like that for a long time but you dont want to get rid of it? my dad and i are torn on what to do. i dont know i guess what im asking is if any of you were in our situation what would you do?
