How should I go about this?

This '69 Barracuda is about 20 minutes from me. If I can get a ride out there, I'd like to check it out and take some pictures for my website. How should I go about talking to the owner?

"Hi, my name is Cody and I collect pictures of old cars. Can I take some pictures of your car?"

would probably answer the question.

Chances are, I'll just be upfront about my reason for wanting to see the car.
