Unveiling and Engine Revs - 1962 Chaparral 1 Racecar - First Showing at 2020 Amelia Island Concours

Real soft spot for Chaparral and was awesome to meet the first two cars they ever made and raced. This Chaparral 1 was crashed and lost to history before being painstakingly recreated from the barn found parts of the original. Only a bit of trick aero here with ducted rear brake cooling. But this is the car the started Chaparral down the road to the unbeatable vacuum-downforce race cars a few years later.
