Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was in order to develop a pressed steel body chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was made from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 simply by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed through the powerful V8 Corvette engine plus the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette motor. It was the first time I had driven one particular. It was superior to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful entire 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 that has a classic De Dion back suspension design with constrained steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame chassis.

The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style which consists of handsome low and broad handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered by way of a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable from the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri models were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further back the chassis frame versus Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 600 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All around 29 A3C sport cars were built under the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
