The Iso Rivolta is a stylish 4-seat grand tourer that blends Italian design by Bertone with reliable American Corvette V8 power. It's a rare and sophisticated alternative to more mainstream 1960s GT cars, with a market that varies widely based on condition.
Typical sold price of an Iso Rivolta ranges from $26,208 to $214,750, based on 27 sales tracked on Hypercars.
Iso Automotoveicoli S.p.A. pivoted from building the Isetta bubble car to creating luxurious grand tourers in the early 1960s. Company head Renzo Rivolta hired a dream team, including engineer Giotto Bizzarrini and designer Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, to create the Rivolta IR 300. The car featured a sophisticated chassis with a de Dion tube rear axle and was powered by a reliable 327 cubic inch V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette.
The Rivolta's appeal comes from this 'best of both worlds' approach. It has the exotic style and sophisticated road manners of a true Italian GT, but its American V8 and Borg-Warner or Muncie transmission are dependable and easy to service. As a genuine 2+2, it's a more practical and comfortable long-distance machine than many of its 2-seat contemporaries.
The market for the Rivolta is broad, with a huge gap between project cars and concours-level examples. While just 797 were built, their complex construction means restoration is expensive, keeping values for rough cars low. Well-sorted cars are highly appreciated, with the average transaction price sitting around $120,000 for good examples.
Prices for the Iso Rivolta range from about $13,100 for project cars to $275,000 for concours-quality examples.
