1965 ISO Rivolta Coupe

  • Coachwork by Bertone
  • Chassis Number: 350176
  • Engine Number: 309*F06073P
Renzo Rivolta made his fortune selling refrigerators, motorbikes and the iconic Isetta (a three-wheeled bubble car) to the Italian consumer. Like many before him, he tried his hand at building Grand Touring cars. Rivolta's chief engineer was Giotto Bizzarrini, designer of the Ferrari GTO. He designed the Rivolta and Grifo and later the Lamborghini V-12 engine. The Rivolta is powered by a 327 cubic-inch 300-horsepower Corvette V8 and shifted by a Borg-Warner 4-speed manual transmission. The steel-bodied 4-passenger Rivolta was styled by Bertone and was actually his interpretation of an English automobile called the Gordon Keeble. Painted Azzuro Metallizzato over a sumptuous brown leather interior, this is one of only 792 produced.

In 1962 Renzo Rivolta made his first GT car, the Iso Rivolta GT. With a chassis designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone, the Rivolta GT was a comfortable four-seater that handled like a sports car. It was a gran turismo in the original sense of the term, designed for long and memorable journeys. For motor racing, the car was homologated not as a GT but as a touring car.

This Iso Rivolta GT IR 300 was produced at a plant in Bresso, Italy, and is powered by a Chevrolet Corvette 327 cubic-inch, 300 hp engine mated to a four-speed Borg Warner transmission. It has disc brakes on all four wheels, with the rear being in-board. It was built for the U.S. market in January 1963 but sold as a 1965 model.

Purchased in 2014 and largely complete with most of its original parts and trim, but inoperable and in dire need of extensive work, the owner commissioned a four-year body-off restoration with the goal of restoring the car to its original glory.
