Never say never. If the son was really interested in it he would be doing more than letting it rot. He would either be taking it apart to part it out or he would be fixing it up to run. Sometimes you have to be persistant and have a lot of patience. Wait some time and then inquire again if the car might be for sale again. Timing is everything so you have to be there at the right time. If you show up regularly you might get lucky and catch them at the right time when they are ready to sell. You could offer to help them part it out or fix it up. That way you will know what is going on with the car. At the very least if they fix it up you will be friendly with a local owner. In the meantime keep looking. If you have the money and the desire, you WILL find one.
