Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

One of only two Chaparrals not owned by Jim Hall, with an important American history. Origil chassis reconstructed to 62 Bahamas configuration with 6 carbs on a log manifold and other authentic period touches. Good cosmetics and workmanship.

Market commentary

A car valued not so much for its accomplishments, though notable, as for its place in the Hall Sharp Chaparral history. Its lift producing body probably influenced Halls concentration on aerodymics. RMs low estimate of $700,000 is more realistic than this bid.
