Equipment
7.0L/400hp Chevrolet V-8, ZF 5-speed, Campagnolo wheels, Avon tires, woodrim steering wheel, power windows, factory air conditioning, Becker Europa II radio.
Condition
Represented as the last of 15 7-liter cars with a manual. Represented as matching numbers. Restoration finished in 2023, and the car did the Copperstate 1000 that year. Very good paint other than a few cracks near the filler cap. Clean wheels and tires. The chrome looks older, and the screws holding in the pagoda-esque raised hood look ancient. A few light scratches in the rear glass. Excellent interior. Other than a few details, this is a gorgeous car and equipment-wise it's about as desirable as a Grifo can get.
Market commentary
Grifos are more than worthy competitors of contemporary Maserati Ghiblis and Ferrari Daytonas in both speed and style. The American lump under the hood and more obscure badge don't hold them back much, either, because these have been highly desirable cars worth deep into six figures for a long time. This one last sold, before its most recent restoration, for $572,000 when Gooding & Co. brought it here to Arizona in 2018.
