His work was to develop a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso cars and trucks. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on 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 has been designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed with the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta had me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tubing and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the first-time I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but with a more immediate throttle result. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a successful car for ISO with 799 units sold.

The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the quickest production car tested by simply Autocar Magazine in 1966 with a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the actual Grifo were powered by way of big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" info bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri items were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to make use of the 3AL cars for opposition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or maybe Corsa. A new lightweight riveted alloy body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings though the engine was moved further in the chassis frame compared to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by several big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).
