In 1966 Jim Hall designed the 2D, the first closed-cockpit Chaparral, specifically for endurance racing. The 2D was based on the previous 2C, but the chassis was a fiberglass monocoque with steel reinforcements. That arrangement was something unseen in endurance racing until then. The engine was an aluminum alloy big block 5356 cm\u00b3 Chevy V8 with 16 valves and SOHC good for 420 hp, that transmitted power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed auto gearbox (another novelty by Jim Hall). With a weight of only 924 kg and with that big engine the car was pretty fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/a-h\/chaparral_2d_9_02.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 2D #9 is a beautiful example of the design of that era.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2D didn\u2019t start the 1966 season very well, but in early June it was able to win the 1000 km of N\u00fcrburgring. Just a couple of weeks later, <a href=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/64\/11\/f5\/6411f5762ac60cdfaaf58db0691330f2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"#9 (opens in a new tab)\">#9<\/a> (chassis #2D001) was at the <em>24 Heures du Mans<\/em>. Unfortunately it had to withdraw after 111 laps with generator problems. This 2D is a pretty good model from Ixo, but possibly inferior to the Minichamps version. However, between having a very good and affordable model or having a great but quite expensive one (and very HTF), I went for the former. The only thing that I\u2019m a bit bothered with the <strong>2D #9<\/strong> is the color &#8211; it isn\u2019t exactly white as my <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.w-143.com\/index.php\/chaparral-2f-7-minichamps\/\" target=\"_blank\">2F<\/a>, but I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s supposed to be that way or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/zgroup\/chaparrals_01.jpg\" alt=\"2D #9\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">D  \u00d7  F: in my opinion the cake goes to the D.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt Jim Hall was one of the great figures of automobile racing. I\u2019m absolutely thrilled to be able to have his cars that raced at La Sarthe in my collection. Honestly, I admire him so much that I\u2019m considering opening an exception and getting other models from other races.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1966 Chaparral 2D Pilots: P.
