    People like that don't budge until the city becomes involved.

    Unhappy

    Odds are it is rusted out underneath. This is a real bummer. I hate to see any car end up like this one. At least you tried to save her.

    In my humble opinion, you're approaching this ol' guy all wrong. Cash does talk, but hoarders are deaf... they only deal in what they can see, touch and feel. It's true hoarders won't sell unless their livelyhood and property is risked... however rather than attack his strength and resolve to not sell, fuel his desire and drive to collect, offer him a trade!! In the most rudamentary math, offer him two or three heaps for his one! A hoarder, like a pack rat will usually give up one "shiny thing" if they get two or three "shiny things" in return. Probably won't get you on the family christmas card list, but it will most likely get that capri out of his clutches. Didn't anyone wonder how or why he had so many white panel vans? he probably traded for them...

    what i would do is complain to the city about the eye sore that it is, when the city fines him then make another offer to him then tell him that when your done restoring it you will take him and his son for a ride in it
