Looking for my father old fed.

I know this isnt a tradional hot rod or custom but im searching everywhere i can to find out what i can, so with that said. My father sold his fed 13 yrs ago out of buffalo new york. Its was gold with white scallops. It said rampage on the cowl. It ran a blown 392, but was sold without the motor. It ran at indy many times in the 90's in the color/ set-up. The ch***is is identical to a garlits car. Garlits himself even thought it was one of his old cars but it wasnt as we told him. I would really like to find the where abouts of this car, since sold it hasnt surfaced any where. Maybe a hamber knows what garage it is in. I believe it may be in indiana some where i heard. Would really love to find this car. Any info is much appreciated! Thanks fella's as i said i know this isnt the place for this kinda car buy i just figured i would throw it out there as alot of us hambers know alot of racers. Thanks again

Got pictures of the car being re-sold again, still had the same paint job! Unfortunaly couldnt get any info of where or who was selling it.

 

Sent your dad an e-mail, no responce yet.
Thats a before an after pic, the original ch***ie had .035 main rails. I would like some pre your uncle history and pics

 

I remember hanging out with your dad in 93 at the Grove in PA we had a blast.
In the final he had a valve retainer start to pull and didn't have a spare so he beat it with a hammer to close it up and put it in but dropped a valve in the burn out in the final and i think all of us were hung over from the night before i think the bar bill was more then the purse good times tell him Rocky said hi
