-----Thanks Darryl,,,Obviously not the same car, although mine was also green new. The one I had was sold new in Boston and was 350hp dual quad Cobra powered. Supposedly one of 5 Griffiths built to that standard......Bill S

They built two different series that I am aware of. The 220? and the 400? I believe the 200 was a standard 289 4 barrel and the 400 was the 289 hipo. Ours was the hipo rated at 315 h.p. single 4 barrel as I believe the 289 Cobras were as well.

I have never heard of the dual quad model but it was basically a garage built car like the Cobra and I am sure there was a lot of experimenting and you could probably get most anything you asked for.
As I am sure you are aware, Jack Griffith was building these cars on the east coast when Shelby was building the Cobra on the west coast. The Griffith was supposedly guarenteed to do 160 "out of the box" and were faster and lighter than the Cobras, but the Cobras eat them up in the corners.
