NMNA, but it's been there for a few years and not advertised for sale. In Key Biscayne, FL. Someone should go save it...

That is why always keep mine in the garage and never sunbathe in underwear.
 
I wish I had a more outlandish story... My sister lives a few blocks away and I recall seeing the car when I was last there a couple of years ago. This morning decided to see if street view had captured it.
 
I think that is one of the 2 coupes they used in filming "When a Man Loves a Women" with Andy Garcia. The owner flew up to Virgina to buy it years ago and drove it down to KB.
 
Looks like my old one.

Luis, what is the street address?

I need to drive over to Miami to see if it is still there and buy it!

Cant believe they would let that sit out in our summer rains :(

Two car garage rental! It is full now, but if there is a needy coupe I can figure something out. Being a seasonal place, I also have understanding neighbors who let me stash a car in their garage while they are up north for six months.

Plus, one of my cars is always is in the shop. I own two Italian cars, so they pretty much alternate trips to shop!

Looks like they flew the "coupe".

I had not seen it driving around lately so I drove by to see if was still there. I heard they got divorced (not sure who got the car) and moved off the Key. Hopefully its safe and dry.

Still trying to figure how to attach images.

The coupe is still in the neighborhood but the owner moved to a condo. It is the car that Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan drove in the movie “When a man loves a women” and needs to be saved. When I last spoke with the owner she said she wanted to have it restored but has at least recently bought a new car cover.

I know of one around Burlington, VT where the garage is actually open and you can see an E9 with the rear fog light inside on Streetview. i'll find it
 
My car has been sitting in the rain for ~10 years and streetview from the PO's house confirms. I'm part of the problem as I've had it outside for 2. I figure a few more years won't hurt. :D
