What makes you think the original owner has any control over this truck, at this point. It is very likely this reseller has a contract and they are not likely to give up control.
There are resellers in this area. It is common for a reseller to have a contract with the owner. If the owner takes his vehicle back and then sells it within a specified time, there will be costs owed to the reseller. Check this out.
I do not think the asking price is too much out-of-line.
Old IHC trucks have gone way up in asking price since I got involved 30 years ago.
EXAMPLES: I have owned fourteen 1952 and 1953 pickups and never paid more than a few hundred dollars for any of them. More than half of the fourteen IHC were free. On many occasions, when I was driving my R120, persons would ask me if I was interested in another Old Binder. I paid more in towing fees to MUNDIES than I did for all of the trucks.
I have two complete trucks, in parts, and enough spare parts for another half truck. All of the cabs are twin-window. The crewcab will become a twin-window.
The most costly IHC I bought was my 1953 "R" Crewcab. It was $1500 to the seller plus $500 for delivery. Add to this the cost of two nights in a hotel and meals, and fuel for my R120. I paid another $96 to have a Mundies roll-back set it in my carport.
Buying an Old IHC, in Canada, for a foreigner is complicate at the moment. Covid19 has changed so many things.
The good news, for Americans, is a US dollar buys about $1.50 Canadian.. This like getting a 33% discount.
