About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Jim Hall's first Chaparral, designed by Dick Troutman and Tom Barnes with bodywork designed by Chuck Pelly, the successor to their Scarabs. Raced for three years by Jim Hall with varied results but consistently fast and competitive. Subsequently campaigned by Jack Boxstrom in historic events with great success and now as-raced: stone chipped, worn, duct taped and wonderful.

Market commentary

Proven to be competitive in historic competition and the beginning of the Hall and Sharp series of innovative and competitive Chaparral race cars, it is surprising the bidders didn't get more enthusiastic, and not surprising Jack Boxstrom didn't let it go at this price.
