Awwe, dang! Well. do you remember how long it was?
It was probably an AFX 4 gear chassis with the dragster extension attached. Someone replaced the tires at some point, is my guess. i have paid 10.00 to 20.00 for these chassis and 5.00 for the extension alone.
I hate to see ANY parts get tossed into the rubish heap at any time. (I even keep my old split and dried tires for my cat to steal. LOL)
That chassis is not super-rare by any means but your dad sure didn't help the supply of them, eh? :) Hi5, man, you can still find them like that and* complete cars on eb@y. Complete cars will sell for 25.00 to 45.00 depending on condition.

No thats not even close....the car was extremley old It had wide teal rear tires and smaller 1's up front. It could have been from the 40's or early 50's for all i know. It had a rusted chassis the rear was wide and the front gor a bit narrower it did not have an extension. just sorta like a triangle frame but not really..It was kinda big not 1/24 but was medium sized....I found it in an old ladys house it was in a box....for all i know it could have been very rare...i left it in my dads garage and he tossed it. I was very upset but w/e i just want to find another 1.

sorta like this but most likely older and had teal tires and had a plate chassis like a sheet of metal instead of all them bars...

It was probably a very rare Teal Boots Exclusive slot car from the late 1940s, developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory with lessons learned from the Manhatten Project. Very very fast, but requires a power supply made from spent fuel rods to get the thing to critical mass and you must wear a lead-lined body suit when running the car.
Could be worth millions - or I could be pulling your leg. Either way, once it's in the landfill it's worth absolutely nothing and there's little to be gained from torturing yourself. But if I have to keep up the torture and speculate I'd say it was probably an old 1:32 brass chassis from the late 1960s early 1970s. Someting like this: http://www.professormotor.com/images/p573.jpg or a homemade variation thereof.

I would check out this site:
www.scratchbuilt.com
Most likely it was something homemade, and you will find it there. Value? Could be anywhere from .99$ to 9999$ ......
