SS/E ? Was it running a 440 at this time?

No. That was AHRA and UDRA's designation for heads-up Super Stock (i.e., Pro Stock) Eliminator.

It and a pile of parts was sold and was taken back to Atlanta area and repaired.
Did it ever get identified as to whose it was originally and where else it had been?

Not that I am aware of Charlie. This would be as good of a time as any for our In House resident King of all things Super Stock Hemi Mark Janaky to throw us a couple of words on this car if he would

Don't think we found this one either. And with the "wall" damage wondering if it found its way out west and could be the one above?

Looks like door jamb is still in grey primer
Bostrom seats installed
Hurst Dual Gater installed
Looks like liteweight PS door installed with 270 style door panel and no window crank
No cigarette lighter. Looks like the dash part is there tho
Paper Tag on Signal lever
Park Brake lever. Interesting the lever is installed. I wonder if all the cables were installed along with mechanism inside drums for park brakes. Won't be a NHRA requirement I don't believe

Thank you liteweight, for posting these very interesting pictures.

I have a couple of really old pics that maybe not all have seen.
Paper tag looks like it might be this Starting Instructions.
And yes, I have several old pics showing Parking Brake was in working order (just left of the exhaust outlet). And I don´t think owners went through the trouble installing it, if it is like you say...
