Found an original 340 car in a shed

I hate to agree with everyone else, but after 25 years it really is against the odds that he'll restore it. I'm glad you're respecting his rights to privacy. It sounds like he's keeping it because of all the great memories. - And that's cool in my opinion. Even if the car wastes away at least he's still holding onto the dream. Life starts to suck once you give those up. If I were you though, I'd stay in touch with him. I have heard of a lot of cars that guys couldn't buy. But eventually the owners made a quick sale to someone else years later.
