Sorry, Chris. Anyway... It's ironic that you brought this up on this forum, as the GT40 prompted Ford's violation of the racing ban. After trying to but Ferrari, they decided to beat them at LeMans (as you probably know what happens next.). After this desision was made, Ford began to drag race...

Scratch the modified category, as that defeats the purpose.

rockonsmile I have no idea what the Italian says, but the airplanes sure are beautiful. My favorite is the Lockheed F104. Truely works of art.

Fitment Issues I've read an old thread converning fitment of an Audi V8. Are there the chassis modifications so major that there arent any GT40's fitted with hemi-headed engines. Chris- are the modifications major? I would think that if people have been able to put FE's in that a 385 series...

Does it come with fire insurance? LOL.

Is anyone running a hemi? If so new or old?. May not be correct, but it is a very nice engine. Boss 429's or 427 SOHC's count.

I want to know the each of the 17 bidders. :lol:

I bet matinence will be cheaper.

Way to go Lynn! Paul, all I can say is AWESOME. Mr. Leno has made other hysterical things concerning the overweight. I may have this wrong but he said, "Scientific studies have proven that there is an actual difference between the brains of the thin and the overweight. It turns out that most the...

Points on undrivability well taken. John, you have good taste... The 2J was an animal, especially considdering it had the Chapparal "mystery automatic". I had the great fortune of finding an article from Road and Track about the early Chapparals (from the 2 to the 2E). It concluded by explaining...

Despite the fact that one is more likely be stricken by lightning than to be biten by a shark, I STILL would not like to be nowhere near one... I once saw a Discovery Channel program concerning shark attacks. Interesting animals, however the show did nothing for my fear of animals that can swim...

Is this the same mother-lode of parts that was featured in Hot Rod magazinein August? Either way, it looks like a goldmine to me, as there is some valuable stuff, IMO.

Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Nice picture. Nice car, Daryl. I only found mone problem- there is a MKII with Gulf colors :eek: . Call me a purist, but I just don't see that as proper.

Undrivability I suppose that a series with less rules would be similar to your projected scenario, Howard, but the dangers presented would probably "inspire" new advancements in tires, ground effects, and general safety. I think that it was good that there were no displacement limits (at least...

Gurney said in a Road and Track interview that the Gulf cars in 1968 and 1969 used Gurney Weslake Heads (Road and Track-June 1997)

Did someone say 2E!? I read an article in Road and Track about the history and mechanical aspects of the 2C's and 2E's. A Chapparal fan was born. I like the wing, especialy the movable detail. Its also too bad that there are no 2J replicas (I wonder how it would perform around LeMans...). It's a...

I was thinking that it is a shame that all of the modern racing bodies have such restrictive rules that new cars like the Chaparrals can no longer be made and run.boomsmile Motorsport used to contribute technology to the art (i.e. spoilers). Imagine what racing would be like with cars like the...

Kalun D, Did the car still have lift with the Lemans nose (I am assuming this is the MK1 and MKII. Did the MKIV still have lift?

What are all of your opinions on Jim Hall's Chapparal Can Am cars. Personally, I love them. I find his aproach to races to be brilliant.
