White Car Fever
I made a post about my older brother .. 3 yrs older than me passing away. He left me hid 1996 Callaway GS #1 of 4 supernatural built. Im not sure what ima do with it ? I guess ima put a new batt in it an keep letting it run every so often. Car has many 1 off parts on it.
its a 2 owner car my brother bought it from the first owner. It has a set of michelin ps2 tires on it with about 150 miles on them.

If it was me I don't think I would get rid of it. Keep it bud, and God Bless, hope you and your family are doing well.
 
Keep the car!!! Your brother is not here, but that car is a representation of him and who he was in the car world. Show the car, enter in events as often as you can and let your brother live through that car.

Many of us car nuts go through life wanting something more different than the next guy or gal, and here you have it. He gave it to you out of respect, So respect him and share it with everyone else who can get a chance to see it. Just my opinion!
 
Once again, my condolences to you and your family with your brothers passing. Keep the car, give yourself some time. Now is not when to make decisions. He wanted you to have it.

My father in law passed away in 1999 and willed me his 93 Cutlass Supreme SL. I still have it to this day and it is my DD. I had mentioned one time to him when he first got it that I really liked it. I was totally blown away when I was given it. Granted its no super rare muscle car, but its the thought that counts. Good luck to you.:)
 
Keep it. I have my brother's bass and guitar. He loved those things so every once in awhile I open them up and it reminds me of the good times he had playing his music.
 
Sorry about your brother. Beautiful car...but do what you want with the car. It was his but you don't have to keep it to remember him. Remember your brother in your own way. You could sell it fix your TTA up and remember him when you're in your car and donate some of the money to a cause he believed in...
 
I found some documents an called callaway today to get everything staight where i can get more info on it if i need it . Im pretty sure he has everything though. they are really funny about giving out information on their cars.

I can only agree with what's been said, definitely keep it to honour your brothers memory ! You can tell he loved his cars and what a great choice he made of a very rare car with some nice history to go with it. Thanks for sharing with us all.
 
If you decide to sell it, I highly recommend RK motors off Harris & I77 in Charlotte. They only handle very high quality cars and work nationally and internationally. They just sold my 11k mile '94 ZR-1 for $36,000 to a buyer in Michigan sight unseen. The majority of their buyers are out of state collectors. PM me if you would like more info or let me know next time you are at Keith's and I can stop by. Here is how they presented my car. David

I am so sorry for you loss. I hope the good memories of your brother and his car help ease your pain in these difficult days. I would advise not making any big decisions for a while, this will give you plenty of time to think about your brother and make a decision that would make him proud.

That C4 is very rare, unique and highly collectable. His memory will live on long after all of us are gone through this car. It is my favorite C4. Hopefully you can keep it in the family. You will make the right decision, that is why your brother left his car to you.
