Hi Kevin
I too am a little late to proceedings but hearty congratulations to you and your father. It is really touching what you have done and, having also read your comments on the auction site, I have to agree re the onions comment!
It’s a beautiful car and I truly hope it gives him the spark (or the fizz) you are looking for.
Welcome to TM and all the support that the brilliant gang here can provide.

Quick update-
Dad’s whole demeanor has made a significant change, he has joined the British Car Club in Memphis and is looking forward to joining them for Cars and Coffee one Saturday soon.
He has found a mechanic that he likes and trusts and they’re doing a few things to the car...I won’t be asking anymore questions here because he’s literally and figuratively behind the wheel now.
I couldn’t be happier, I read all of the responses and well wishes to him and he’s bewildered that people from all over the world had such interest and sent their regards. I’m particularly thankful for the seller, Bill because he paid for transport from AZ to OK, “In honor of my late dad and as a gift to yours.” What an indescribably honorable and thoughtful thing to do.
When I visit him next I’ll show him how to join this group and the other one mentioned but don’t look forward to him posting anything, he just got his first iPhone a few days before we arrived. He’s just not interested in technology at all but is starting to see some value in some of it, particularly if it has to do with his car.
So thanks again gang- very much appreciate your support throughout this journey.
-Kevin

I have read the whole story with interest.
I wish your father all the best and I think he could be proud to have such a son.
