Were you ever gifted someone’s dream car that was not your dream car?

For context I am being gifted my father’s 1976 Corvette because he doesn’t drive it anymore. It was his dream car and he got it when he retired. It’s modified with a much higher HP motor and better transmission. It’s a fun car, but terrible for any sort of daily usage. I was selected to get it because I’m the only child who knows how to work on cars, and has the space to house it in my garage. I’m not sure if it’s a car I will learn to love it or will hate it. I am more into newer cars than this one.

I would love to hear other people’s stories if they have been in this situation before. Did you keep the car for any period of time? Did you regret selling it if you did?
