IMO, a win-win situation for both parties. The owner, who often times cannot afford, or at least justify, the expense of restoring the car, gets a nice chunk of change at a time when they could use it, such as with retirement entering the picture. The "rich guy" has the means to pay a fair price for the car, and have it restored for future generations to enjoy, saving another piece of history, before mother nature totally destorys it. One only has to look at the thread on here "rotting musclecars" to see where mother nature won. How many times has an owner been bashed for letting a car rot away, not willing to sell it? If not for the "rich guys", many rare and collectable cars would not be out there for us cars nuts to enjoy.

I have had the pleasure of meeting several long time owners of muslcecars, who after many years of saying no, finally decided to sell, and none were having regrets. Always neat to listen in to the conversation between the past and current owners. A passing of the torch so to speak.
