Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and designed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L along with A3C versions. His work was to produce a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype originated from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the new I had driven one particular. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed four seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion rear suspension design with pressed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso. The result of the actual brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini functioning together, it was based with a shortened Iso Rivolta GT framework and was debuted on the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and large handmade bodywork.

Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings even so the engine was moved further back in the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the particular driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by four big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

Close to 29 A3C sport cars were built underneath the ISO name. Five of these 29 cars were bodied with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo from Carrozzeria Sports Cars within Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Directly in both years.
