Chaparral 2G Description[]

The Chaparral 2G was a car from the 1969 Hot Wheels  Grand Prix series. Based on the United States automobile racing team Chaparral cars. The combination of the last names of the two founders resembled the Spanish word "Chaparral" (Roadrunner) so it was chosen. The Hot Wheels Chaparral 2G was produced in the USA and in Hong Kong. They were packaged with a metal 'Collector's Button'.

In 1974 Mattel continued with enamel paints but introduced them with tampos, calling the series Flying Colors. This casting was released under the name Winnipeg in that series.

It was painted in yellow enamel with blue and orange tampos. The plastic spoiler was recreated in orange to match the color scheme of the car.  Original Winnipeg spoilers are scarce and reproductions abound. As with most Flying Colors cars, the Winnipeg usually has non-removable straight-axle wheels (like in the main photo).  However, a few Winnipegs have been found with cap style wheels.

The Winnipeg was released only in 1974.

Alternate Variants[]

There are two rare Variants for this model. The first is an early production variant that features no stop-peg, allowing the trunk at the back to be opened far enough to damage the hinges. The other is one with brown interior, of which only a few examples have been found, making these very sought after. There are two that have both of these features, as well.
