Description[]
The Chaparral 2D was a Group 6 prototype sport racing car designed by Jim Hall and Hap Sharp of Chaparral Cars. Powered by an all-aluminium 7.0L Chevrolet L84 Big Block V8 mated to a 6-speed automatic of their own design, the 2D was the fourth iteration in the Chaparral series of race cars. The car participated in six races, with its best result being a win at the 1966 Nürburgring 1000 km with Jo Bonnier and Phil Hill driving the #7 car. Two chassis were built, both having been converted from 2As; one would later be rebuilt into a 2F.
