Spoke to the owner, who loves it. Had it since 2015, no problems, drove it out here from Florida. Normally aspirated. Rare wheels too... optional for N/A.
Anyone know the paint code? It's so dark blue it's difficult to tell from black from a distance. Black Sapphire Metallic 452? I don't think it's Nautic.

Sure that's the right river?....
No I think you're right - it has to be.

While parked (quite illegally) in the city*, a nice matching Dark Olive Pearl P80 was getting valet parked across the street. A clue suggests it's still with its original owner.
I also saw a white 850 pulled over on the highway and a nice 245 broken down on an interstate off ramp (with no reasonable way to reach him and offer help), but those would have been awkward photos.
* NYC is "the city". Every other one is just "a city".
