The 1967 Iso Grifo: Why This Italian Icon Was Forgotten

Discover one of Italy's rarest grand tourers — the 1967 Iso Grifo Series I. Powered by a Chevrolet 327 V8 and styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Bertone, fewer than 400 Series I examples were ever built. In this episode, we take a first look at this forgotten Italian masterpiece and begin documenting its journey back to life.The Iso Grifo is one of the most overlooked cars of the 1960s. Born from the mind of Giotto Bizzarrini — the engineer behind the Ferrari 250 GTO — and wrapped in stunning Bertone bodywork, the Grifo combined American muscle with Italian elegance. The Series I, produced from 1965 to 1970, is the purest expression of that vision, and finding one today is exceptionally rare. In this 13-minute episode, we examine every inch of this 1967 Iso Grifo Series I — from its numbers-matching 327 V8 to the hand-stitched interior. We assess the condition, identify what needs immediate attention, and outline the restoration plan that will bring this Italian-American hybrid back to its former glory.
