two coupes from FL heading to CA?

I realize this is a longshot, but here goes. I just saw an Instagram post from a guy/company called "auctiondawg" that facilitated a sale of (2) 3.0cs's and a 2002tii found in a shop in Gulfport Florida, heading to a buyer in California that purportedly intends to restore the lot. The reason I am interested in this is because the shop that these cars were sitting in for some 30 years (according to the post) is very near where the guy whom I bought my car from lived. The shop sounds like a good, old-school indy shop that has probably seen every old BMW in the area. So I was hoping I could learn something about the history of my car if I could contact the right individual/mechanic. I called the shop and their message indicates they are temporarily closed due to a health issue. Not sure what that means, but maybe that prompted the sale of the three cars.?.

Anyway, if anyone knows anything about "Just Bimmers" out of Gulfport FL, I'd love to learn if there is someone there I can contact. Maybe they could fill in some details about my car in its past life.

Also, hoping the buyer of the three cars lands here so we can watch them come back to life!

Stephen, I am familiar with the shop but I have never done business with them. I reached out to a friend and he gave me the owner's name, Joseph (Joe) Buckley. The only number he had for him was the shop number: (727) 323-1768. I did some quick digging and he is an older guy, 72 years old. I found a couple of phone numbers for him which I will send to you in a PM.

Joe Buckley sounds familiar from BMWCCA in FL. Not sure if we have met or not. I think I recall him tracking an E9 at HPDE some years back.

I think this is him at Sebring.
