Searching for previous owner/builder

Is that the color when you purchased it? Pretty tough locating past owners without a bit more of a back story. Drag car from where? What motor? What class? What State?
It is basically the way I purchased it. I have no detail about its drag life. It’s a very stout 340 that has obviously been worked for the strip. My point was that I have no idea about the internals and was hoping someone might recognize it by sight. I bought it from a collection of a local car dealer who took it on a trade for a vintage Cadillac also in his collection. I contacted that guy and he said he had it on his car lot, but no build details. I do know it was for sale at Mecum/Harrisburg in 2015.
