looking for mr. tuff

Hello out there. I need some help if finding a 55 chevy drag car that I have been searching for and have just hit a wall. To make a long story short the old man down my street raced against it in the late 60's After hearing the storys and seeing the photos I made it a mission to find it. I would so much appreciate any info anyone might have. I would gladly pay a finder fee! last seen in the Springfield Illinois area. Its a blue 55 Chevy drag car with MR.TUFF in gold on the rear 1/4s. Its not a straight axle car. Any Help Please!!! Thanks, Rob 618 780 2832

 

I will give you a bump in case somebody that knows or has ever heard of the car missed this

 

Welcom from Atco, NJ. Sorry I can't help, but lots of guys here are way into vintage drag cars. Post up what you know and I'll give a bump too. Good luck!

 

My brother actually owned Mr. Tuff in the early 70's and we raced it at Fairfield Il dragway. The last count I had it was somewhere in Chicago.I posted a search on draglist and got several responses I had someone send a picture of it .I tried to attach it here but i'm not sure it will show up
