  • One of the coolest cars ever made. Seeing these at Riverside Raceway in So. Cal in '66 was an awesome experience. 40 years later they still look modern...now that's a timeless design!

  • Phill Hill, Jim Hall, Hap Sharp raced these monsters on a shoe-string. McClaren ended up taking the championships in those years, but these were the heart-stopping hi-tech cars. Jim Hall is one of the greatest, most overlooked car designer-driver of all time. Truly one of the greatest of all time. Fantastic shots and insight with the car.  THANKS!

  • Exactly my words and later Vic Elford was the fastest man in the CANAM!!!Does anyone know how Jim Hall is doing, does he have a homepage!!Any news from him??

    Sorry but i am a chaparral fanatic from Germany(Lower Bavaria)!!

    Thanks

  • Original Chaparral/Jim hall design, looks like BBS needs to pay some royalties...LOL

  • You and me both Brother!!! Modern racing kinda falls short I think.

  • Went to the LA Times Grand Prix at Riverside from 1966 to 1973 and loved everyone of them.

    God I miss the Can-Am series!

  • All of Chaparral 2's are on display at the Permian Basin Peroleum Museum in Midland Texas.

  • Oh, finaly, he wound it up and almost cleared it out. I was hoping he would, those plugs were getting just a little fouled. Anyone know what ever happened to Halls vacuum cleaner car?

  • Chaparral cars probably would of won a bunch more races if thay hadn't pushed the envelope so hard ! But maybe we wouldn't have such fond memories of them.

  • I saw that race too, he and Bruce McClaren were awesome that day. Great day.
