It is unfortunate that those with money can do as they wish. A sale always involves two parties, and the seller should take part of the blame, but that is no guaranty the car will be kept as is. I watch the Mecum Auction, and wonder what these guys have done to attain such money as they throw around at those auctions, only to be stuck in some private collection, their "portfolio" of investments.

I don't know how such a thing as you describe can be controlled, and if it could be, would we want to live in such a society that has that power?

We can only do what is possible, and this falls out of that realm. Automobiles are history and we are the conservators...
