I've been looking for this car on and off for many years and finally located it!!!
Long but please read.
In 2003 I joined the Airforce and at the time didn't have a car. The fox body was always my dream car as a kid but my mom and stepdad wouldn't let me have one. I got my DL in 96' and begged for one but instead, I got the old shop truck from Sachse Rod shop which my stepdad owned. It was a 88 Mitsubishi Might Max, 4 banger, 5 speed, lowered w/ roll pans, and the Sache Rod Shop logo on the tailgate. I spent three summers beforehand mowing grass and cleaning the shop to pay for it.*
*Fast forward to 2002 and I joined the Air Force and my mom is battle ovarian cancer, she passed a month after I graduated boot. I got 8k in inheritance and finally had a*good job*and money to afford a fox body mustang, hell I didn't have any car at the time. I found this super clean 1993 Calypso coupe in Carrollton for $7500 with a 306, AFR 165's, GT40 intake, et cetera. So I drove down from Sheppard AFB and she was mine. I then took that car to Luke AFB Arizona and then Hill in Utah, working on it at the hobby shops on base modding it more. In 04 l palace chase to the Texas ANG and I'm back in DFW. (side note: I actually lived in this car for a few weeks between leaving active duty and going the guard because I had nowhere to go and couldn't afford an apartment)*
The first night I made it back, I meet my wife at a get-together at my brother's house, so we start dating. By 06 we want to get married but we're broke, she was a carhop at sonic and going to cosmetology school and I was a E3 in the Guard as a temp tech. So I had to sell the car to pay for it. By then it had a B&G turbo kit with all the supporting mods that I paid for from my first deployment to Afghanistan which was earlier that year. I sold it for 8k, hell I had over 5k in the turbo upgrade but fox bodys weren't that hot then and I needed the money.*
My wife always promised me she would buy it back for me one day. We both became more successful, she would up owning her own Hair Salon making 6 figures and I became a Guard*WG-12*Technician. Every once in a while I would try to find it, but it was nowhere to be found on the internet and I lost the bill of sale w/ the Vin.*
Then my wife passes away in 2018...*
For whatever reason this past week it pops in my head to try to find it agian. I finally got the idea to search an old email account and luckily after lots of digging, I found one email from the guy I sold it to in Conroe TX. He sold it to someone else in 2015, and I was able to find that guy and he still has it. It's now a full blow drag car make 1100hp. The sad news is he doesn't want to sell it but now I know where it is at. And I'll keep trying until I die to get it back in hopes of one day passing it to my son.*
