Bizzarrini worked since 1964 with regard to Iso Rivolta and developed three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel framework chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant on the Iso Gordon GT challenge which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was created from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT was designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube useful for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette powerplant. It was the very first time that I had driven just one. It was superior in order to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but having a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion backed suspension design with forced steel monocoque bodywork above pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L had been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming through Lusso. The result of your brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based on a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted with the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised your 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and vast handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested by means of Autocar Magazine in 1966 that has a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the Grifo were powered by the big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) engine. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable by the raised "pagoda style" scoop bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri products were rebuilt later with even bigger engines.

The concept of Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions from the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium body was designed and built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance races. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further back the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras 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 beneath the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied throughout plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars in Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered the actual 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 and also 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 with no factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
