Bizzarrini worked since 1964 intended for Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and also A3C versions. His work was to formulate a pressed steel body chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for the Iso Gordon GT task which became the Iso Rivolta GT. The Iso Gordon GT prototype was developed from the Gordon-Keeble. The Gordon Keeble GT ended up being designed in 1960 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and also the rear De Dion tube used by the GT:'Rivolta acquired me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tv and especially the Corvette engine. It was the very first time I had driven a single. It was superior to help Ferrari's engines, having the same power but that has a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT had been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a profitable car for ISO using 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine using a classic De Dion backed suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork more than pressed steel frame chassis. Unveiled to the mass media in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L was a monstrous idea for the super coupé, the L coming by Lusso.

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

The thinking behind 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 even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminum body was designed and also built by Piero Drogo. It was an aggressively designed machine, oriented to endurance backgrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further back the chassis frame than the Grifo A3L, protruding well into the driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by a number of big Weber carburettors, giving more than 300 bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these 30 cars were bodied inside plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo in Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 The 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 with no factory support. A3Cs were one on the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Immediately in both years.
