New member looking for old car (442)

The apparent bent axel is just from me taking a picture of a picture that was curled a bit.
Hello all. I bought a 1972 442 in 1981 then joined the USAF, shipped out to the Philippines in 1984 and left the car sit until 1987. When I got back, it was in pretty sad shape from Indiana seasons. I let my father-in-law have it to work on. I loved that car, but it was a time of flux and I was in Florida when I returned to the States. My FIL did some work on the car then sold it. I am hoping to learn what became of it. I'd love to have a chance to own it again, but if it's not for sale, I'd still like to know where it is and if it is happy and safe. I actually did find an old registration with the VIN but will not include that here. Hopefully the current owner is a member here or knows members from here and someone will recognize the car from the info I am about to provide. It was a 1972 442 with a 350 and auto trans. The color was fairly uncommon, and I believe it was called saddle bronze with white interior. The top was also white. It had the non-functional hood inserts and white striping on the hood and down the sides. The side stripes were narrow. I also have some photos that I'll try to include soon. I lived in New Castle, IN, where the car was originally sold, and my FIL lived in Spiceland, IN, when he sold the car. Any info on the car is appreciated.
