    Does anyone know what is hanging off the rear of the Chaparral?

    The suitcase holder. On the 2F they hid them in the front under the headlights.

    The #14 Chaparral 2D gets looked over in the garage.

    Anyone know the reason why the spare would have been in the vehicle on a track?

    Rules back then, had to carry spare, etc.

    Have a look at Jim's P3/4 and P412, both have location for the spare wheel.

    The Appendix J reg's that were used in the late 60's were the best set of reg's for endurance cars that ever were...

    They required reasonable cockpit dimensions, you had to be able to carry a spare tire and a suitcase and this made the cars essentially something that you could (assuming that you are a bit adventurous, right Jim!) drive on the street. Coupled with running at places like the Targa Florio, and the Ring, the cars actually had to have suspension travel and couldn't be hugely over sprung. And besides, they looked great....

    Unfortunately that all went away and now we have cars that that are ugly, don't have any weather protection, hold one person and a bunch of fire protection gear, have no ground clearance, huge ground effects brutally stiff springs, and frankly nobody can relate to... I think that's why all of those old cars are so valuable today, and why so many people want to build a GT40 replica.

    elle est tout simplement extraordinaire cette photo.

    et que dire de la voiture. . .
    La plus belle de toute les voitures de course, avec la 330 P4.
    ceux qui ont eu la chance de voir Le Mans 1967, doivent être riche.

    Bonjour Bruno, Ca va bien? D'accord pour les Ford GT et Ferrari 330 P4, et Le Mans.

    I agree with what was said about modern vs. historical race cars at Le Mans. I never thought about it in those terms about the cars. This includes NASCAR! Their modern cars are the same except for the cylinder heads. It's not the same and not better.

    With the economy uncertain for it's recovery, I wonder what impact it will have on ALL of racing, as the sponsers leave and the funding with them?

    Ciao...Paolo

    There is a Jim White Chevrolet dealer here in Sylvania (Toledo) Ohio. I wonder...

    On a webpage I found it stated that in January of 1966, a Mr David Greenblatt sold Grand Sport #004 to Jim White of Toledo, Ohio.

    This is a link to the restoration of GS #004. Everyone will recognize the green fcar (and know its owner) on the opening page.

    Randy- page 4 has a really good pic of the car in Jim White Chevrolet livery.

    Best,
    Dave

    Great history, interesting to see the cross over manifold w Webers, as I understand it Giotto Bizzarrini designed this for the Iso A3C's and offered to build it for GM along with a better cast aluminum oil pan for the 327, but they turned him down, looks like they kept the idea.

    That GTC/4 is so huge the LM would never be able to get passed ... makes the track/road look like a driveway ;)

    It IS a driveway! It's Prescott Hillclimb in Gloucestershire, owned by the Bugatti OC, originally the drive of a private estate (like most British hillclimbs), and it must be a demo run at a Ferrari OC day.

    Looks distinctly like the (very tight off-camber) Pardon Hairpin (pre-gravel trap). ;)
