Bizzarrini worked since 1964 regarding Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to develop a pressed steel frame chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT had been designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette serps. It was the very first time I had driven just one. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT seemed to be a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO along with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion back suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming via Lusso.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to make use of the 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 aluminum body was designed as well as built by Piero Drogo. It was an more boldly designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings nevertheless the engine was moved further in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by 4 big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
