With these kinda cars I think you either keep them and work on them properly, or you don't, there's not much middle ground if you want to make the cars justice.
I think I'd done the same as you. Try to hold on to them for as long as possible, but if it doesn't work it just doesn't. I kept my mothers house for a good couple of years after she passed, but after a while it just wasn't feasible so we sold it and put the money towards the house we live in now.
If your dad knew his money and cars managed to buy you and your sistser a flat each I think he'd be happy, that's given both of you a good start on the property ladder (I hate those words).
I'd be gutted too if I sold that kind of car too cheap, but then again, if old cars isn't your thing, it's very hard to do a good deal. Try not to stew on it, you did what you could, no?
