Iso Grifo

The Iso Grifo is the result of a legendary collaboration, featuring engineering by Giotto Bizzarrini, a chassis derived from the Iso Rivolta GT, and stunning coachwork by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone. It's a classic 1960s Italian GT formula: a sophisticated European chassis and body paired with a reliable and powerful American V8. Early cars used Chevrolet's 327 small-block, while later Series II cars switched to Ford's 351 Cleveland V8.

Collectors prize the Grifo for its rarity, beauty, and performance. With only around 413 units produced, it's far less common than its contemporary rivals from Ferrari or Maserati. The combination of Italian design and American mechanicals makes it a surprisingly usable classic that's easier to maintain than its all-Italian counterparts. The most sought-after models are the rare 7-Litri variants, which used a Chevrolet 427 V8 and featured a distinctive hood scoop.

The market for the Grifo is strong, with an average sale price around $402,000. However, the range is wide, reflecting the vast differences in condition, provenance, and specification. The best restored cars, particularly the 7-Litri models, can sell for well over $500,000, while project cars or those with non-original engines trade for significantly less.

Based on recent sales, prices range from $115,500 to $550,000.
