Not for sale at any price.
Grandpa didn't buy it new, I don't think. But it was a 'new' car when he got it, and he only stopped driving it after grandma died in it (heart attack). It's nothing special or rare, just an XM wagon, 170 with Fordomatic.
Got passed on to mum/dad, and then on to me (which was the ultimate intention anyway).
Sitting there, ready to drive at any time. Gets taken out very occasionally. I'd have gotten offers if those wanting to make them didn't know the back story.
It'll get passed on to whichever kid will appreciate it the most. They can stick it in a museum if they want, but don't sell it. No need to sell it because while we aren't rich, we don't need money like that for at least a generation or three. Might even get passed on to my nephew who got on great with grandpa and I know he'd take good care of it and not need to sell it to get by and would have enough attachment to it to not idly let it go.
Stu.
