Thank you all for your kind words. You are all correct in saying it is the memories I want rather than the car itself, and I will always have those. I just wish he had some more time to enjoy the car, but that would have likely made parting with it more painful anyway.

I grew up flying in my grandfather’s Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft, and when he died in 2012 I tried to figure out any possible way to keep it. At the time it deeply bothered me, but in hindsight it was the memories I wanted, not the plane. You’ll never forget your experiences with your dad and the 930, and that’s how his memory will live on.
You must have some really cool stories from that. Figuring out a way to keep the car has been difficult, so I can't imagine trying to figure out the logistics of keeping a plane.

I'm in Texas now but that is a very generous offer and I appreciate it!
