TV has really given a horrible perspective on the flipping cars, or finding deals, all while inflating markets. The main detail that many people don't think about is: Just because it is sitting, deteriorating, and breaking our hearts in the process, doesn't mean the guy wants to sell. Most of us think that if a car is sitting, it needs to be saved. Many people who own these cars don't think like that. They believe the car will be saved by them someday, but they typically never are. They live by the "next year" or "next project on the list" and hate being hassled, especially by someone that knows more than them, or wants to undercut them. Just a thought.

The main way to tell is to let them throw out their insane, cash-today price, and go from there. That will give you the indicator on if it can be acquired someday. I know where two pre 73 911s, and a 930, are rotting outside where I used to live in Indiana that can't be acquired because of the owner's arrogance. He believes he has a plan for them, and nobody can tell him otherwise. Fifteen years later, the cars haven't moved. Sad, but reality.
