Bizzarrini has been fired by Ferrari over the "palace revolt" of 1961.

Bizzarrini worked since 1964 pertaining to Iso Rivolta and created three models: Iso Rivolta GT, Iso Grifo both A3L in addition to A3C versions. His work was to build up a pressed steel shape chassis for Iso automobiles. Renzo Rivolta hired him as consultant for 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 by Giugiaro. Bizzarrini tested the car or truck and was impressed because of the powerful V8 Corvette engine and the rear De Dion tube for the GT:'Rivolta got me test the prototype. I liked its De Dion pipe and especially the Corvette engine. It was the first time I had driven 1. It was superior to be able to Ferrari's engines, having the same power but which has a more immediate throttle answer. 'The Iso Rivolta GT has been a Giugiaro designed some seater with beautiful physique, speed, comfort and handling, and was a productive car for ISO together with 799 units sold. Powered by a 327ci Chevrolet Corvette V8 engine that has a classic De Dion backside suspension design with pushed steel monocoque bodywork around pressed steel frame framework. Unveiled to the press in 1963, production continued until 1970.The Iso Grifo A3L seemed to be a monstrous idea for a super coupé, the L coming coming from Lusso. The result of this brilliant Giugiaro and Bizzarrini doing the job together, it was based over a shortened Iso Rivolta GT chassis and was debuted in the 1963 Turin show. The Grifo epitomised this 1960s Italian style using its handsome low and wide handmade bodywork. It was the best production car tested by Autocar Magazine in 1966 using a top speed of 160 mph (260 km/h). Later versions of the particular Grifo were powered by a big block Chevrolet Corvette 435 bhp (324 kW; 441 PS) serps. These 90 handbuilt units are distinguishable through the raised "pagoda style" deal bonnet. Some of these Iso Grifo 7 Litri units were rebuilt later with a whole lot larger engines.

Thinking about Bizzarrini was to utilize 3AL cars for competition. The competition versions with the Grifo were named Iso Grifo A3C, C for Competizione or even Corsa. A new lightweight riveted aluminium lightweight body was designed in addition to built by Piero Drogo. It was an strongly designed machine, oriented to endurance events. It uses normal ISO underpinnings but the engine was moved further in the chassis frame as opposed to Grifo A3L, protruding well into your driver's cabin, fitted with hot cams and fed by some big Weber carburettors, giving more than four hundred bhp (298 kW; 406 PS).

All-around 29 A3C sport cars were built within the ISO name. Five of these twenty nine cars were bodied within plastic/fiberglass by Piero Drogo at Carrozzeria Sports Cars with Modena. A3Cs were widely ran. Some cars entered this 1964 and 1965 Le Mans 24 hour, 1965 Nürburgring 1000 in addition to 1965 Sebring. It achieved a Le Mans class win in both years as well as a 9th overall in 1965 without the need of factory support. A3Cs were one from the fastest cars on LeMans' Mulsanne Direct in both years.
