You send a card expressing your sorrow for the family’s loss. I would say something to the effect that you have admired his car from afar. Even more so the story the car holds as it was shared to you by the deceased. Then mention that you would like to be the next care taker of that car, if the time and opportunity ever happen and the decision to sell is made? Tell his wife that because (deceased) owned it that it would have a special meaning to own the car.
That’s not being a vulture, tactfully mention your desire at the bottom or back of the card, then wait for an answer.
