Depends, is there a loan on the car, if so, you will have to get those payments up to date and re-affirm that debt ( pay the payments)
Also how much is your equity, value of the car, there are limits by state on the max value you are allowed.

Generally you get to keep the car but if you have a loan out you must reaffirm the debt and file the proper paperwork with the Trustee in order to keep it. If you own it outright depending on the value and what state you live in you may not be able to keep it.
