Lot of scenarios possible here. I keep coming back to "turned down $175". Sounds greedy.

Cool car and I hope it ends up in the right hands with enough cash left on the table for a proper resto if it needs it.

Sorry but the new "buyer" sounds like a ass! Friend or not, knowingly ripping the people off that bad is pure SCUM in my book.

UNLESS, after the deal the buyer said that he legally stole this car and wanted to make things right and split the profit 50/50.

I see this transaction being an informed buyer praying on a less informed sell. Just like the scammers that talk older people out of there 401k or the whole reverse mortgage thing.

If it were me, and some of you better of high end car owners can disagree, but I would have taken the quick $175. Then went back to the seller with 2 cheques. First for another $30k. If the seller was genuinely happy and respectful with that cheque, then say here's the rest you should have got. And give him the second cheque for another $30k. Tell him you sold the car for $175 and you kept $75k for yourself, and they got $100k for the car.

But that's just me. Karma's a bitch and it will come back and bit you in the ass sooner or later. And I have done this on 7 different occasions now. The 2nd cheque really surprises them.
