1967 ISO Grifo GL Berlinetta

This Iso Grifo is a first series example that is powered by a small block 327 cubic-inch Chevrolet engine backed by a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox. The color was Argento Indianapolis combined with a black leather interior which it still retains today.

The car's first owner was Walter Lauener in Switzerland, who cared for it from 1968 to 1979 when it was sold to Peter Monteverdi. It would be Mr. Monteverdi's private transport from 1979 to 1992. The Monteverdi car collection was subsequently sold at auction and this Grifo was imported into Germany. It had three further owners in the Düsseldorf area before being purchased in 2004 by the current owner. While in the custody of the previous owner, the original ZF gearbox was removed as it was irreparable, and a 4-speed manual 'box was fitted in its place. The current owner had a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox fitted.
