This is one of 59 series 400 cars constructed. The Griffith is a fiberglass-bodied car, using a Ford 289 cubic-inch V8 with 4-barrel carburetors. They were very quick, running 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The first owner was reported to have lost his driver's license late one night in 1965 when he was caught doing 140 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. It was then sold to a second owner and became a drag racing champion from 1966 to 1970. Next, it was sold to a Connecticut collector, where it sat, in pieces, for over 30 years.
The present owners have completed extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades. The tweed upholstery, transmission, fender flares, and other drag racing modifications have all been removed and the car returned to as-production condition.
