Default Old Mans New Ride

its an old TVR



1965 Griffith Series 200, Serial #2005123 Regency Red with Biscuit interior, older restoration, 289 Hi-Po engine with alloy intake and Cobra valve covers, Cobra 6 X 15" wire wheels, excellent paint, aluminum radiator, Koni shocks, new Yokohama tires, ceramic coated headers, new brake calipers, stainless steel braided brake hoses, urethene suspsnsion bushings, oil cooler with remote oil filter with stainless steel braided hoses, Mallory distributor and coil, etc. This is a rare 60's muscle car which was actually the fastest of them all until the 427 Cobra. Even faster then a Hemi Cuda or GT0. This Griffith is listed in the Griffith Registry and was formerly owned by Rick Titus, son of former Shelby Team driver: Jerry Titus.

He is going to fly out to look at it next week. If we do get it I hope the mods will follow.
