Looking back at it now, the story of Jim Hall and his legendary Chaparral race cars seems like a myth. Of the seven race cars built in West Texas, only six survive to this day. They were hidden away for so long that the Chaparral name might have been forgotten. Fortunately, Chaparral Racing under the direction of Jim Hall, has set out to restore the six cars.
 
Chaparral Racing was a small, efficient operation with the very practical sense to upgrade a race car until it was something completely different. During its active career, two of the original three 2s had been turned into 2D coupes. One of those coupes and the remaining Chaparral 2 were further evolved into the 2F.
 
Troy Rogers, one of the original craftsmen who helped Jim Hall and Hap Sharp build and refine the white Road Runners, as they are known, has brought them back to life. Today, the beautiful Chaparral 2 is restored and looking exactly as she did when she stormed the race tracks of the world! Well, there's one exception: the Firestone tires that were originally used are no longer available, so the restored car rolls on Goodyear rubber.
 
Thanks to the hard work and enthusiasm of these gritty Texans, the Chaparral legend lives on... not just in our memories. For special occassions, Jim Hall brings a small selection of racers out to vintage events where he is all too happy to sign autographs and demonstrate what made his innovative cars so significant. And if you're travelling in the Texas area, there will soon be a museum where you can catch a glimpse of this most ferocious beast at rest.
