Searching for my dad’s 1993 CYM RX-7 FD R1

Hello everybody my name is Reece, and I know this is a long shot but I figured this forum is probably the only place in the whole of the internet that could help find my dad’s old car. And I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this, im new to this.
Long story short; my dad’s stories about his CYM R1 is what got me into cars and specifically rotarys, and I promised myself one day I would buy him another one as he had to sell his due to financial problems back in the 90s. I know only 350 of these cars exist, and i’ve been endlessly searching to see if his exact car is still out there somewhere.

The only information I have of this car is:

It could possibly have a rebuilt/salvage title, as it was bought without the engine at a salvage auction in Hawaii.
It had a 13b from an automatic FD swapped in.
When it was sold it had been repainted in the same competition yellow mica, or a yellow roughly similar.
And my dad sold it to a private buyer over in Arizona roughly around 1997.

Other than that I don’t have the VIN or any other information about the car. Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Welcome to the forum. Without a vin, it may be a very difficult search unfortunately. Maybe try posting in the regional forums as well. I wish you the best of luck in finding you dad's CYM R1.
