A new automotive project was started with Jack Griffith of Long Island, New York for a larger production all-steel car (Griffith) with additional financing. Ex-BRM racing chassis designer John Crosthwaite, working as a consultant for Jack Griffith, designed the chassis for the Bob Cumberford penned car, called the Griffith GT. A Griffith was shown with a Plymouth 4.5-litre V-8 engine at the 1966 New York Motor Show.

Tooling was built and production started. Around fourteen cars were shipped, when Jack Griffith's company closed. A new customer, Steve Wilder, decided to take over the project, called the cars Omega and had them assembled by respected Ford Racing constructors Holman and Moody in North Carolina. It is seen in various sources that 33 to 36 of these were delivered to the U.S., reemerged as the Omega using Ford mechanicals in place of the Griffith's Chrysler mechanical components.

This car has the Ford V-8 engine that is seen with Shelby valve covers and attached to an automatic transmission. The Intermeccanica has air conditioning, competition lap belts, Minilite-style wheels, full Jaeger instrumentation and a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel. Needing attention, this is a viable platform that exhibits many fine racing/sports car qualities that are always in vogue.
