Help! ...lost altered! ....want to find!
Many years ago a friend of mine built an A/Econo Altered. It had a big block Chevy and a powerglide. I was lucky enough to get to build the stretched body, and paint it for him. He was later forced to sell it to another Tucson Racer.
Under the new owner, it made a brief appearance in the late seventies running as a "Fuel Altered" at Tucson's Fuel Altered Nationals. He qualified, but broke the engine. A year or so after that, the car sold less engine to a Texas racer, and we never heard any more of it.
Here are a few pictures. If you have seen a car with this one-of-a-kind stretched Bantam body, with flip up hatch for driver entry... even if it was long ago... please let us know what you can. If the stars are aligned... my buddy might want to reunite with it. If not, at least we would know it's fate. Thanks.
Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
