1967 Iso Grifo 7 Litri<\/h1>\n

In 1968, Iso Rivolta fitted the 7-liter Chevrolet L71 engine in their Grifo sports car. This required numerous changes to the car including a large square hood scoop. Outfitted with a body from Giugiaro, the ‘7 Litri’ was a potent option to Lamborghini or Ferrari.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the Tri-Power, Chevrolet 427 V8, the 7 Litri was capable of 435 hp at 5800 and it had a theoretical top speed of 300 kph. At the time this was the the most potent Chevrolet V8 intended for street use.<\/p>\n

Like the Grifo GL, the 7 Litri was well equipped with a 5-speed ZF transmission, leather interior and a wooden dashboard. It was designed by ex-Ferrari engineer Giotto Bizzarrini who sold competition versions of the model.<\/p>\n

920.242<\/h4>\n

Our feature car, chassis 920.242, was one of the first 7-liter cars and was imported by the factory to display at the 1969 New York Auto Show. Painted in Bresso with Campagnolo wheels, air-conditioning and a 4-speed manual, it was the top specification available for a Grifo.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Textile Rubber & Chemical Co., F. Harvey Howalt Jr. of Dalton, Georgia became the car’s first owner and he retained it for a decade. By 1980 the car had covered only 35,000 miles. It was never fully restored until 2003. After the seven year restoration it was repainted Viola Negro with Magnolia leather interior.<\/p>\n
