Am I Being Unreasonable? Original Owner Wants Car Back

There are a few cars that were in my family that I would love to own, I even know the owner of one, a 70 Road Runner convertible that my asshole brother owned for a short time. The current owner is the same person that bought it and has owned it since about 1977 or 78. He has done a complete rotisserie restoration on the car, it's pretty much perfect, he does drive it once in a while, and would sell it for what it's worth, but that's waaaayyyy out of my price range. There's no way I would expect or even ask him to give me any special consideration, why the hell should he?
