1971 Iso Grifo Series II Targa
- Engine
- 5.7L V8 Chevrolet, 300 hp, paired with five-speed ZF manual gearbox
- Colour
- Black
Chassis 350 is one of only four Iso Grifo Series II models built with open Targa coachwork, making it among the rarest examples of an already scarce Italian grand tourer. Constructed on 4 July 1971, it combines the Series II's refined styling — including retractable headlamps — with a 300-horsepower 5.7-litre Chevrolet V-8 and five-speed ZF gearbox. First delivered through a Koblenz dealership to an owner in Aachen, the car has spent its most recent quarter-century in a single private collection and is presented in black with white leather interior on Campagnolo magnesium wheels.
