    For anybody who finds themselves in, passing through, or even going near Midland, TX, look up the Oil & Gas Museum. The back area has a bunch of Jim Hall's cars there. (He lives in Midland, and Chapparal is actually the name of his small oil business.)

    Every time I go out there I hope for an intro from a friend of mine who knows him, but so far he's always been out of town.

    I've always liked this one; be fun to make a similar car but painted blue or red and not necessarily an exact copy:
