If my dad wasn't long for this world ( and I am very sorry to hear that your dad is sick and may or may not be able to enjoy this car for very long) I would want to move quickly and get something we could share right now today. Future expenses be damned!!! This is the man that gave you life who wants to enjoy a 911. If you later "lose" $5k repairing the car is that really more expensive than the smile on dad's face?
And if you get some wonderful miracle and he is with us for more year's ( may it be many more years!) then restoring the car together will be the sort of bonding experience you will remember and cherish for the rest of YOUR days.
This is one of those rare instances of the " you only live once" cliche having potent relevance. That is my gutt emotional reply. It has nothing to do with fiscal sense. It is all about how much I love my dad and what I would want to do for him.
