Looks like F5000, is it a Chapperal?

1971

That's right. It was built as a project for the Indy 500 and when that did not go ahead it was used by Chaparral mechanic Franz Weis for a few F5000 races. I covered the race number #66 since this was habitually used for Chaparral cars and would have been an even bigger clue.
