Chaparral 2J

In the late Sixties and early Seventies, auto racing didn't get much more wild than in the Can-Am series. The most wild of the bunch would be the obscure Chaparral 2J.


Powered by a heavily modified Chevrolet V8, the 2J had plenty of power to spare. What made it really stick out, though, were the pair of turbines at the rear powered by a snowmobile engine!


Predictably, it was banned by the authorities after one season.
