Wow, thanks for the update! It sounds to me that you did all that you could, and the guy who you spoke to who owned these cars really didn't know what he had in terms of value and what these cars are worth. In any case, quite a story!

They guy has so much money he didnt care about those cars.

Damn, that sucks.

I would watch the place to see if any work is going on, which will indicate if he was telling the truth. He may have just said that to make you go away since it matches exactly what you said you wanted to do!
