Chaparral 2J dimensions?
I'm looking for dimensional information for the Chaparral 2J. I've gleamed what I could from the books I have and I have searched the net, but I can't find any dimensional data (Length, Width, Height, etc.).

Mike, do you have Pete Lyon's book, Can-Am? I do, and he has some specs for "cars of year xx" at the end of each chapter, which I could look up for you tonight. Assuming he listed anything for the sucker.

dscwall- Thanks for that data. Allard J2X piece is 60% complete. Figure I've been working on it since November some time. Problems arise in contacting people and getting them to respond. Currently waiting on a CD of images that I will include in the story. My focus has shifted to a piece on the Nissan P35 which is now 85% complete. I've also got a few other topics I'm working on, all of it is a matter of time. As I research, I tend to find more and more people willing to talk and hence it slows the process, though for the betterment of the article. Beleive me, it will be worth the wait. The amount of tehcnical access I've been granted, especially in regards to the Nissan P35 is, quite frankly, unprecedented.
Paul-Have Pete's book and have used that to gleam what I have on the 2J |

Mike, do you have the other Chaparral book, the one by Richard Falconer and Doug Nye? I have that at home and could perhaps dig up more info. Not sure how much technical detail it has. It's been several years since I read it.

CG-
Don't have the book you mention. micki-the dimensions you describe are exactely the same as the English units above. I already converted them to metric for the page though and they match exactely what you have. http://www.mulsannescorner.com/chaparral2j.html |
