1967 ISO Grifo GL

Sold for $137,500 at 2010 Gooding and Company - Pebble Beach Auctions.
The Iso Grifo had Corvette power, fashionable Bertone styling and Milanese flair. It was one of the best all-around sporting GT car available and a worthy competitor to the most pedigreed European marques. Only 471 examples were built, and only a handful made it across the Atlantic. This example was originally sold to Dr. John Garizio of New York. After eight years, it was sold to Gary lee of California who kept the car for 33 years. After 3 decades of ownership, the car was sold to the current owner.

The car remains in unrestored condition, with the exception of paintwork performed in the early 1990s. The interior of the car remains in original blue leather upholstery and carpets. There are original cast-aluminum Campagnola wheels - a rarity since most owners had the Borrani wire wheels installed.

The car has had a recent brake refurbishment. The rear package shelf and dashboard were reupholstered with the factory-correct dark brown vinyl material.
