1965 griffith - car show

Nice car show at the farm last weekend.
People's choice was 1965 Griffith.

Had to do a little research to understand what I was looking at.

Original Griffiths were scary and unruly little bastards. They were WAAAAAY overpowered for what they were.

Back during Virginia International Raceway's original incarnation (1957-1975) a couple of Griffith drivers were seriously injured when their Griffiths went squirrelly, as they were wont to do. A lot of 289 Ford power in a car that weighed <2000 lb and can best be described as "half-baked". Just wasn't well designed or built.

Later TVR Griffiths were much better balanced cars.
