A 1973 Iso Grifo GL Series II powered by a Ford 351 Cleveland V-8, completed on 14 May 1973 and delivered new to Germany, where it is believed to have remained ever since. Built with air conditioning, power steering, and a 3.31:1 rear axle ratio, the car retains its original white exterior and rust-coloured interior. The Grifo GL grew from Bizzarrini and Bertone's ambition to field a refined, commercially viable grand tourer capable of challenging Ferrari and Maserati.

How this record is sourced

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
