  Iso Grifo GL365/400  (1964 - 1974)

Profile

The rare Iso Grifo was first shown at the 1963 Turin show. Designed by Bizzarini at Bertone (who also styled the legendary Ferrari GTO) the Grifo began full production in 1964. To challenge the likes of the Daytona and Muira, the Grifo benefited from a Chevrolet 427 engine from 1969, the same as fitted to the brutal AC Cobra. This gave the Grifo 170mph performance, making it one of the fastest cars of its time.

Ironically it was this huge engine that contributed to the Grifo's downfall. The early 70's fuel crisis meant that gas guzzlers like this were no longer practical so the Grifo, and Iso with it, folded in 1974.
