I agree with most of the others, I would probably keep both. However, that's provided that I had a good home for the Corvette. Storing it outside, even under a cover isn't going to keep it looking new and that's what you want if you plan on keeping it for a long time.

It also depends on your financial situation. If you're having financial hardship, then sell the car and get out of debt, purchase a house, etc.
I'm sure you're dad would want you to be happy, that has to be more important than any car.

If you do sell, then I wouldn't pay off the Mustang with the money, instead, I'd put it towards something "responsible". "Found" money can be few and far between. You should be cautious when you spend it.

The best advice I have read yet. It is good to give some grieving time for your father and keep his vette until you can make a clearer decision. Sorry for the loss...you are in my prayers.

First off im really sorry for your loss

It seems that the car being 6 years old and only having 10,000 miles on it your dad took extremely good care of that car. In turn, i would do the same. Who knows, maybe somtime a long way down the road that car will end up in your kid's hands. And so on and so forth..........

Keep the car. Cherish it

Sorry for your loss, I know how hard that can be.
I assume you were already prepared to keep and pay off your Stang prior to this, so keep the Vette as well.
Not that you would need a reminder, but every time you drove it or even looked at it you would feel your father's presence.
Many of us would love to have both, and now you have that.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My dad's been gone for over 25 years, If he had left me a Corvette, I would hope to still have it. He left me a legacy of great memories, but that Vette is a tangible legacy that you could give to your own son or daughter someday. It will never lose it's value especially to you. And I agree with birdoffire make it a garage queen and keep really good care of it, you will appreciate it more and more as the years go by. I sold off bunches of stuff that my mom and dad had after they passed, I wish I hadn't. Make up your mind now and intend to never have financial trouble that would force you to sell it. Just my humble opinion, I'm a lot wiser now than I was back then. Still kickn' myself in the shorts for some of the stupid things I've done in life.

I'm assuming you're more of a Mustang man than a Vette man, as you didn't say anything about how special the vette was.
My best advice is to take your time and sell it, getting the best price you can. Then put that into not just parts for your Mustang, but maybe doing something you wouldn't have normally done. Maybe taking an exotic vacation? Buying season tickets to your favorite ballteam? Getting a suede jacket from Ralph Lauren?

Diabolical!

I definitely agree with the guy who said to wait a few months before making a decision. Your head will be clearer. Keep in mind, no matter what you decide, if it makes you happy, then it's what your dad would have wanted.
