I experience something similar lately. I pulled into a Texaco to gas up, and I spied a '47 Cameo sitting behind the gas station. It had junk in the bed, and looked pretty straight even though it needed some serious work. All the tires were flat, and most of the window glass was gone, but it still had the Chevrolet badge on the hood.

I ran in and asked the clerk who's it was. She said the owners. I asked if he was willing to sell, and she laughed and said no way. She said about 10 people a day come in and ask to buy it, but the owner is "currently restoring" it and won't sell.

What a bunch of BullSh!t. It looks like it hasn't been touched in over a year, and that was to throw junk in the back. It's just sitting there rotting...
