As a specialist dealer, I offer a carefully selected selection of ISO Grifo model cars that represents my current inventory. This collection is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather reflects the models currently available in my inventory. I regularly update this selection based on arrivals and availability from various manufacturers.

The majority of the models presented are in 1/43rd scale , a format favored by collectors for its excellent compromise between detail and size. You will also find some remarkable pieces in 1/24th and 1/18th , offering a higher level of detail for the most demanding enthusiasts. Finally, some models in HO 1/87th scale complete this offer for diorama enthusiasts.

Each model is available in very limited quantities , usually between 1 and 2 copies. This rarity reflects both the exclusive nature of the original ISO Grifo and the policy of high-end Model manufacturers. All the models you see are actually in stock and ready to ship.

Discover the Diversity of ISO Grifo Models

This collection brings together different versions of the ISO Grifo, from the first A3/L versions of 1965 to the final examples of the 1970s. You will discover the most sought-after versions, in particular the models equipped with the legendary Chevrolet V8 engine of 327 or 427 cubic inches, which gave this GT formidable performances for the time.

The reproductions include the various Model coupé cars that characterize this line, with their taut lines designed by Giugiaro while he was working at Bertone. Some models represent the racing and competition versions that participated in major international events, sporting the specific liveries of the period.

Collectors with a passion for the 1960s and 1970s will find authentic pieces here that bear witness to this glorious period of European sports cars.

The Fascinating History of ISO Grifo

The ISO Grifo adventure began in 1962 when Renzo Rivolta, head of ISO Rivolta, decided to enter the automotive industry after making his fortune in Iso refrigerators and scooters. A visionary, he understood that the future of the European sports car lay in the alliance between Italian style and American mechanics .

This is how the collaboration with Giotto Bizzarrini, a genius engineer fresh out of Ferrari, and Giorgetto Giugiaro, a young design prodigy at Bertone, began. This creative trinity would give birth to one of the most beautiful GTs in automotive history. The chassis, designed by Bizzarrini, accommodated the powerful Chevrolet V8s, while Giugiaro designed a body with perfect proportions.

Production began in 1965 at the Bresso factory near Milan. Each ISO Grifo was handcrafted , which explains the subtle differences between the models and their current rarity. Fewer than 500 units rolled off the assembly line between 1965 and 1974, making each model a true collector's item.

The Anecdote that Makes a Legend

One of the most memorable stories about the ISO Grifo concerns its presentation at the 1963 Turin Motor Show. Giugiaro, then only 25 years old, unveiled his masterpiece to a stunned audience. The car had the effect of an aesthetic bombshell : its pure, taut lines radically contrasted with the codes of the time.

Even more surprising, this presentation took place while the car existed only as a non-running prototype! It would take two more years for the first production models to see the light of day. This anecdote perfectly illustrates the spirit of the times, when creative audacity took precedence over purely commercial considerations.

The ISO Grifo perfectly embodied the spirit of the sixties : creative freedom, pure performance, and effortless elegance. It represented a credible alternative to Ferrari and Lamborghini, with the unique distinction of combining American mechanical reliability with Italian refinement.
