Bizzarrini worked since 1964 for Iso Rivolta and formulated three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L and A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel body 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 seemed to be designed in 1960 through Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the vehicle and was impressed from the powerful V8 Corvette engine along with the rear De Dion tube used for the GT:'Rivolta received me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion tube and especially the Corvette serps. It was the first time I had driven just one. It was superior for you to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle response. 'The Iso Rivolta GT ended up being a Giugiaro designed a number of seater with beautiful body, speed, comfort and handling, and was a prosperous car for ISO with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine with a classic De Dion rear suspension design with hard pressed steel monocoque bodywork in excess of pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the push in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L has been a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming by Lusso.

The Grifo epitomised the particular 1960s Italian style featuring a handsome low and extensive handmade bodywork. It was the speediest production car tested simply by Autocar Magazine in 1966 which has a top speed of one hundred sixty mph (260 km/h). Later versions of this Grifo were powered with a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) powerplant.

The idea of Bizzarrini was to operate 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 built by Piero Drogo. It was an boldy designed machine, oriented to endurance backrounds. It uses normal ISO underpinnings however the engine was moved further the government financial aid the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into this driver's cabin, fitted with hot cameras and fed by some 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 with plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo with Carrozzeria Sports Cars throughout Modena. A3Cs were widely competed. Some cars entered the 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 along with 1965 Sebring. It achieved a The Mans class win in both years and also a 9th overall in 1965 without having factory support. A3Cs were one with the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
