The Iso Grifo is a limited-production Grand Tourer manufactured by the Italian car manufacturer Iso Autoveicoli S.p.A. between 1965 and 1974. Intended to compete with Grand Touring offerings from Ferrari and Maserati. One used a range of American powertrains and components supplied by Chevrolet and Ford. Styling was done by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, while mechanics were the work of Giotto Bizzarrini.
The first production GT models appeared in 1965 and were powered by American Chevrolet small-block 327 (5.4-liter) V8 engines.

Iso Grifo Can Am Series I
In October 1966, the first Grifo (production No. 97) with a targa roof was shown at the Turin Motor Show. Designed by Bertone, it featured the beautiful removable roof, the reliable 300-hp Chevy 327 V8 and the coveted ZF 5-speed automatic transmission.
A total of 330 Series I and 83 Series II cars were built for a total of 413 cars, including 90 7-liter versions. The rarest are the Series II 5-speed (23 units), the Series I Targa (14 units) and the Series II (4 units). Because of their low production numbers, the Grifos are a rarity and therefore sought-after collectibles today.

ISO Grifo Series 1 Targa 5.4, automatic, Lusso
The ISO Grifo Series 1 offered (production number 79) is an exceptional specimen with very few miles driven on the odometer (6100 km). It is an automatic and has a damage-free history. The first prototype of the Series 1 Targa, production number 97, was manufactured in October 1966 destined for the 1966 Turin Auto Show. Special about the Targa version are the removable roof parts and this fact inspired the 2nd owner so much that he had his, in September 1966 made, ISO Grifo Series 1, in 1968 professionally converted to the Targa version according to factory specifications.
Originally, the factory delivered 14 units of the Series 1 Targa model and 4 units of the Series 2, making these cars very sought after by collectors of classic Italian automobiles.
The Iso Grifo offered is in sublime condition and is damage free, everything about the exterior and interior of this car shows Italian beauty. Whether you are talking about the elegant tightly designed body, the Campagnolo magnesium rims, or the stylish interior with the wooden Personal steering wheel, wooden dashboard with the beautiful Veglia instruments, rocker switches, Leather upholstery (Lusso version), everything exudes finesse and Italian class.
The current 4th owner was also the 2nd owner at the time, having sold the rare ISO Grifo Series 1 Targa then to a good friend and now bought it back from the same friend several years ago. This does show that first true love is never lost and once ISO is in the heart, it is permanent.
