You're assuming we'll have more than one child or that I don't have a work area or space provided for facilities, a garage fridge and storage for non-car related stuff (including the wife's gardening supplies and storage of household supplies and decorations, etc.) You're wrong on both accounts.
Basically, you've already made a decision about the car and because you're not able to see the most obvious answer, you're asking here for confirmation of the decision you've already made.
Sell it and move on. or don't. Your choice, don't care anymore.

Who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?
If you want to keep it, it sounds like the wrong house. If you like the house more than the car, sounds like it's time to sell the car.
Honestly you've come up with so many reasons and motivators to sell it in the past and now - why not sell it? I don't say that in an accusatory tone, I mean it - you aren't that attached to it and it sounds like it's worth more to you in cash than in automobile. If you've moved on mentally then it's time to let go since it'll just be a drain if you keep it out of obligation.
I've let go of a few that were painful at the time but in the long run I've felt nothing but freed of unneeded weight.

I love the house. It's seriously my dream house. (Not my dream shop, but I don't want that at my house anyway...)
In reply to dculberson:
Thank you, that's the kind of sound advice I need to hear. I've moved on from this car a few times, but was well and truly over it last fall when the rear diff "fire" happened.
If you really love the car AND the new house, one option would be to pay to store it elsewhere. If your first reaction is "that's a hassle/expense I don't want," than there is another part of your answer. 
I bring it up because the garage/shop issue came up for me with my last home purchase, and for a while it was a roadblock to the home I wanted before I realized that my shop and project car don't have to be at my house, and I have been really pleased with moving off site.

It's too much to store it off-site, but a shop off-site is the eventual goal. I don't have the time to devote to that to make it worthwhile yet. Maybe in 3-5 years.

If I understand your description correctly, you have a big yard, but access is limited to through the front and side yard? Setting aside the do you want to keep it decision, if you need a solution to grass and access to the back, google grass car parking lot. You can install the mesh so it doesn't show when the grass grows in, but you drive on the mesh, so you eliminate the chance of ruts, etc. when it rains. I saw this type of product installed at a car museum so they kept the green front lawn but added reliable extra parking for shows, etc.

A Rambler will live in the garage. Wasn't there something about getting an AMX from an Uncle about the time of the diff fire?
