Plans for your car after you die

[dfrazz]

I was at a car show the other day noticing how all the owners are getting older like me. Even most of the crowd was at least mid 30’s. I truly believe our classic and muscle cars are not going to be as important to the next few generations, much like the street rods have faded with interest and value today. Our kids didn’t grow up with these cars like we did. My kids have all moved away, and ya they like my Charger but none of them have really shown a great interest in it. So what do I do with the car once I die? Easy answer is sell it, but to who and how do I explain it to my kids? Or should I plan to sell it once I get older and can’t get around as easy, take the burden off the kids. What are your plans with your car(s)?

I was thinking of this before a major surgery recently. I was thinking it's a shame there isn't a reverse mortgage like program for hotrods. You know the odds that someone else will make sure they get realistic money is slim. Plus the "sorry I died, have fun at the MVD converting the title so you can sell it since I didn't add you to the title before". And the sad thing is its not the only "collection" of things that will be a bitch to liquidate. But hey, maybe you've got a Barret Jackson Saturday evening car and they’ll be pounding on your survivors door.

If I get some warning things are winding down I’ll sell, but if I go without warning, then oh well. I currently have older siblings but if they go before me then I guess I’ll have to plan more.

I don't figure I'll be needing it much

Not that I'll know....but my wife has said she'll sell for pennies on the dollar if that's what it takes.

Warning to all....enjoy your vehicles while you're still on the right side of the daisies.

Not my problem. I'm dead.

It's my kids problem. I'm sure they will sell. The only possible exception is the B-body GTX. But their call.
