Haha! Yeah, that was a typo. Our engine guy owns a car on the Formula V car circuit. He's too old to race it himself but he does all the work.
You, my friend (and your dad) are lucky people!
You probably wouldn't be amazed to hear it, but everyone in your dad's age range (me included) probably has a list of cars that they have owned and would LOVE to have kept - but had no place to store them.
My list of cars owned (and family cars) and sold includes:
1950 Studebaker Champion Convertible
1958 Fiat 1200 Roadster
1959 Ford 4-door (powder blue and white)
1963 Pontiac Grand Prix
1966 Pontiac GTO
1970 Datsun 240Z (white with rare blue interior combo)
1977 Chevy Monza Spyder V8
All gone now. I do know where the Monza is -with a collector who lives near Medford, OR.
