WOW! My old Dad dropped a bomb on me...

So, my old Dad has been working on a 70 Dart for me for the last year and a half, him being up in Washington and me living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I send him money for parts n such and he works on it n such.

Well, he has had a lot of trouble with some of it, and it has cost WAY more than it should at the current stage. He is getting pretty old and tired now, and it isn't near where he wanted it to be at this point. He feels real bad that it is sort of a piece of junk, it has a good motor tranny and rear, but many normal functions don't work and he is so sick of messing with it...

So, he decided to just give me his 69 roadrunner and said he would feel better and be much more proud of what I ended up with and my family members would see how blessed I was rather than what a piece of junk I ended up with.

The RR has a hopped up 440 (500 hp) super duper forged stuff, rollers, etc... The thing is FAST>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am not sure if I should accept or not, cuz that car is his baby. He is building a 72 challenger numbers car though, so maybe it would be alright??? My Dad has always been a great father and a super sacrificial man for us kids, he'd give his life for us... I just wanna do whatever makes him happy I guess long term.

Anyhow, here's some pics of my Dad with the RR from a trip a couple weeks ago up there... Sure would be amazing to receive such a fine gift from my pops!

I would accept it for exactly that reason. It comes down to sentimental value and he obviously wants to share his love for that car with you. I'd take it and cherish it and every time he visited, I'd make sure to try to go for a drive with him in it.
