I had a similar situation with an airplane at the local airport owned by an absentee owner that was going to be restored someday. My offer was refused. I started protecting it and preserving it with his permission and no promises. 3 years later I received a call @ 2AM ! and my offer was accepted. Saved a bundle of money for a small amount of money and a little labor, it was a winning gamble.
