His work was to produce a pressed steel figure chassis for Iso cars. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant towards the Iso Gordon GT undertaking which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype got its start from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT seemed to be designed in 1960 by means of Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta experienced me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette serp. It was the new I had driven a single. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but using a more immediate throttle reply. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed 4 seater with beautiful entire body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO together with 799 units sold.

The thought of Bizzarrini was to operate the 3AL cars for levels of competition. The competition versions on the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or perhaps Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the actual driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by 4 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 up to 29 cars were bodied in plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo on Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely raced. Some cars entered the particular 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years plus a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one in the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Straight in both years.
