TN I'm looking for the whereabouts of my old S5

1990 GXL. Crystal white. Bought it from fire85gslse in December 2009 and sold it to a guy from Texas some time in 2013 (early fall maybe). Car was sold with full Racing Beat exhaust, stock NA steel hood, front bumper accent and lip were painted white right before sale. Had full AGX shocks with Eibach Pro springs, Turbo 2 wheels, RB sway bars, knock off MAZDASPEED strut bar, Lloyd Madatrix floor mats, stainless brake and clutch lines, and had one JDM FTP (can't remember which side. Car was sold with 213,XXX miles and had bad oil control rings. It ran great, but would blow plumes of blue smoke on cold starts. I am wanting to find the car if anyone knows its whereabouts.

VIN is hard to make out in the picture, but it looks close to JM1FC3317L_05817. It was sold to a guy in Texas between August and October maybe. It was shipped on a car carrier from TN. I believe the next owner worked for AT&T as he mentioned doing something with U-Verse for a living.

EDIT :: Strut bar was Megan Racing. Not Mazdaspeed.

Another identifier is that it had a real manual steering rack installed by myself. Alpine speakers. The engine in it was a Mazda reman (had the metal plaque on the front cover). Had Goodyear Eagle GT tires on it too when it was sold.

Take a look at this link: How can I find my old car? | Hemmings Daily

You said the VIN is hard to read from the pictures. Maybe if you have some old paperwork that has your VIN on it, that'll make your search much easier.
