Description[]
The Chaparral 2A is a sports racing car produced by Chaparral Cars. Designed by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp, the 2A was the first member of Chaparral's "2" series of cars. It was powered by a 5.4L Chevrolet V8 mated to a GM 2-speed automatic; the engine produced 475 horsepower. First driven in 1963, the 2A was driven mainly by Hall and Sharp and scored wins at the 1965 12 Hours of Sebring and the 1965 Bridgehampton 500 km. Four chassis were built; one was never used. All were subsequently rebuilt as newer Chaparral models, with two rebuilt to 2Ds, one to a 2E and one to a 2F.
The initial livery depicts the winner of the 1965 12 Hours of Sebring.
