bdubya Sep 23rd, 07, 7:24 PM Hopefully I'll have kids someday, for now my nephew will get all my toys. Great thread, I've thought about this alot in the past.
'87 Mustang GT
'04 Honda Sabre
'89 Honda CBR
'70 Chevelle
Tons of tools, house etc.
quikss Sep 23rd, 07, 7:27 PM Considering I'll be dead, right now I couldn't care less. Hopefully I will go before my wife or daughters, in which case I hope they sell it for lots of money and can take a nice vacation and remember the good times we had in the car.

ChaosEnvy Sep 23rd, 07, 7:41 PM I'm getting buried in mine... kinda of like Tulsa, but with a better seal.
Otherwise, I really don't know... I may sell it before I pass or I'll give it to my daughter she would be the first in line I suppose.

In my will the Elky has to remain untouched and taken straight to the crusher and prompyly crushed!:D
69malibu3speed Sep 23rd, 07, 8:11 PM I'm sure no one in my family wants it. I hope they sell it and enjoy the money.
Jimmy P Sep 23rd, 07, 8:16 PM It won't matter. Material posessions won't mean a thing. The only thing that will matter is how much I've given to others. (Just my belief)
But, since my wife & daughters don't share the passion, I may donate my car/cars to a school or charity. Maybe I can bury my car like ChaosEnvy, but without me in it. I can build a water-tight building for it and someone can open it back up 50 years later.
I would hope my love of cars will continue with my daughters, but so far, it ain't lookin so good. :(
68bye Sep 23rd, 07, 8:40 PM I only hope to have mine done by the time I die. I gotta long way to go.
oldtimr Sep 23rd, 07, 8:49 PM I was thinkin of willing mine to the show Pinks, but I'd have to have too many stipulations.
Like HEADS UP ONLY !!!!!
And NO YOU DON"T GET TO KEEP MY CAR IF I LOSE!!!!!
BillsCamino Sep 23rd, 07, 8:55 PM Thanks Dave! :cool:
Makes me feel really good knowing I had a small part in that common bond between you two. Great picture.
Very cool. :)
Derek69SS Sep 23rd, 07, 9:04 PM I've got a son on the way... if he don't want it, I hope he uses the money for something good, like a down-payment on a house.
MEJ1990TM Sep 23rd, 07, 9:26 PM Well if your son doesn't want them you could just leave me the two '69s. :D :) :yes:
quikss Sep 23rd, 07, 10:30 PM Thanks Dave! :cool:

That was your car!!! Everytime I saw a picture of that car, I kept thinking I wonder if that was Bill's car?! Very nice looking car indeed.

ChicagoChevelle68 Sep 23rd, 07, 10:54 PM One of my former students has been with me in friendship, adores the Chevelle and has done more than his share of work on it.
He gets it free and clear, (despite who I may be with at the time), and I know will take care of it.
One Caveat: I instruct him to put my cremated ashes in the ashtray.

Too right about material posessions. A great belief Jimmy.:yes:
I am lucky to have a son that truly enjoys anything mechanical so it will definitely go to him. I know he will take care of it as I would like it to be. He is a chip off of the old block. Turns 8 on Saturday and already wants to find an "old and broken" car so we can fix it.

1970SS396&1967 Sep 24th, 07, 12:13 AM Well,I have 4 Chevelles in various states of repair (or Disrepair).The 70 is my "crown jewel" and has the most value of all of them.My 17 year old son knows the value of each one of the and I'm sure when I am gone he will take each one out,drive the crap outta it and then sell them for appraised value.As for the ton of Coke stuff in the rec room and mint condition 1979 Yamaha RD400 I'm sure My 2 kids realize the value of most of this stuff so they should both fair pretty well when I go to Chevelle heaven!!;)
Jim Mac Sep 24th, 07, 12:15 AM I joked with my daughter, that she gets it all. The old chevelle, camaro, 2 el caminos, 6 honda ATCs and all the guns. Only thing she likes is the camaro. So Id imagine the rest will end up on craigslist, or ebay. jim
Phil Keller Sep 24th, 07, 1:07 AM I'll probably die IN the Chevelle, and they can total both of us.
sudolg Sep 24th, 07, 10:03 AM Great thread! If I die young, I'll leave the Chevelle to my Daughter and my V-rod to my son. I'm sure I won't have either one if I die old.
138car Sep 24th, 07, 10:46 AM My wife gets it, she has everything else of mine now. She said she would keep it! Then she would give it to my son when he turned 21 or so.
joeyv69ragtop Sep 24th, 07, 11:13 AM I don't have any kids yet, so for now, when I go I am going to give the car to my kiddo Hanna. She's my niece, and the closest thing I'll have to having my own child for a long time.

rak1 Sep 24th, 07, 11:42 AM Well my wife can turn the garage into a monument with my casket in the back of the '67 elky and all the other stuff. She could put a beer in one hand, and a wrench in the other with oil and Band-Aids all over my hands; heck that how she sees me most of the time anyway. Truly it doesn't really matter what happens to the things I own; when I'm dead I won't care, and since my wife is with me 24/7 she won't care either. They are just things; you cannot bring them with you.
forcd ind Sep 24th, 07, 1:13 PM i dont plan on dying, just to piss off my wife
SweetShot Sep 24th, 07, 1:59 PM since my son Justin, doesn't share my passion, i hope that i can get someone to sell Butter Cup and the Camaro for him and get a good price.
That way he can buy a house, or heck, do whatever!
Also....ya'll have heads up and first dibs on all my memorabilia :D
I have lots of little cars and such. Anything Chevelle I could ever find!
But have already gotten my will done with instructions in there for the car to go to him, but i know he won't know what it is...but i know he'll be taken care of and thats all i care about. He's my one and only.
Morbid ain't we? But am at that age (did i really say that?) that i must plan ahead. Am really suprised I lasted this long :yes: I was a bad, bad girl in the 70's and such:beers:

Bowtie-72 Sep 24th, 07, 2:23 PM I'll probably die IN the Chevelle, and they can total both of us.
Sounds like me. I'll do something stupid, or the car will finally get revenge for what I've done to it.
If not, I think my older daughter would take it. She's always been fond of it.
BIG EVIL CHEVELLE Sep 24th, 07, 2:49 PM I considered the notion of being layed to rest in the first tomb with a garage door,lol. Other ideas include having both my body and my car ran through the shredder and scattered ,or the crusher and then layed to rest. In a morbid way I tell people I'll most likely die in it. It sorta amuses me the idea of being some sort of ghost story, sightings of a ghostly black chevelle tearing through the countryside. Another idea that intrigues me I got from a country song( I can't remember the song or title), I'd leave a letter in the car telling of me and my love for the car to the next owner, as a way of passing the torch.
chvyscott67 Sep 24th, 07, 5:43 PM i,m never gonna die !!!
chevelledude71 Sep 24th, 07, 6:59 PM My daughter is getting it, even before I die. She said she wants it when she graduates from College. So, she's 9 now and I have plenty of years lef to enjoy it.
Ricks70ss Sep 24th, 07, 7:47 PM taken it with me
Alwhite00 Sep 24th, 07, 7:55 PM I told my wife when I die to cremate me and dump a few ashes at a time in the gas tank & run the piss out of it.:D

gburden1 Sep 24th, 07, 8:18 PM Dave , I am leaving mine to you , but I am gonna drive the crap out of it on the way to my departure,
