Fingers crossed
Have you thought of trying to get a Right of First Refusal Agreement. It might keep them from selling it to someone else in the future. They may go for it if it would protect them to get market price for it, but let you have the first shot.

Just an idea while things are nice and friendly with the current owner.

They told me when they confirmed that it was the same truck two years ago that I’d be basically the first to know. Fast forward to nearly 2 years later. I offered a big chunk of money for it. They’re going to think about it

Fingers crossed

Re: Found my grandfathers 71 gmc

Gosh, I really hope they decide to let you buy it.
Are they doing anything with it now, or is it one of those”we’re gonna fix it up one day” situations?
I really hope you don’t get subjected to watching it wither away, while they don’t do anything.
Years ago, I had two old cars two ol$ cars I asked about and the guys weren’t interested in selling, so I kinda gave up on asking. Fast forward 10 years, and I went to look again, and found that both of these owners had past, and the families just had those “Junk Cars” (a 67 Chevy II and a 70 SS Nova BB/4spd) hauled off. I almost cried
