I don't agree with you "pilou"...either it is an ISO RIVOLTA Grifo A3/C, or it is a BIZZARINI GT5300 Strada, but it can't named as Iso Grifo Bizzarini Strada GT. Giotto Bizzarini worked for ISO RIVOLTA for 2 years around(1963/65)and designed a new chassis based on the previous IR300 in 2 different versions A3/L (L for Lusso) and A3/C (C for Corsa)...these 2 models were presented in 1963 in Torino,as A3/L Grifo and A3/C Grifo. The A3/C had a different shape, was lower and had a shorter wheelbase, specially designed for GT. Very few models (only 24) of the A3/C were produced under the make ISO in 1964... Few months later, Bizarrini and Rivolta split and found a gentlemen's agreement for separating their activities. The A3/L will be produced by ISO and become the Grifo GL300 or 350, while BIZARRINI will herit the A3/C under his own name ==> the A3/C was slightly modified and became the BIZARRINI GT5300 Strada, production starded in 1965 There were around 130 Bizarrini GT5300 Strada produced..the make stopped around 1969. Now, considering the date of this film, we can assume it could be an ISO RIVOLTA A3/C Grifo rather than a BIZZARINI GT3500 Strada... |

Based on some research and comparisons (photographs and articles), car #35 is probably a 1965 Bizzarini GT 5300 Strada. -- Last edit: 2005-11-15 10:05:21 |

Apparently 1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada Alloy, chassis #0268 "... a rare alloy-bodied example originally owned by Carey Loftin...a long-running Hollywood actor and stuntman who gained fame for his work as the stunt coordinator for the car chase sequences in Steve McQueen hit movie Bullitt. The car had a very small role in the opening credits of the movie. A short time later, it was in another cameo in the 1968 Walt Disney classic Herbie the Love Bug, another of Loftin's films." Now painted red, sold for $415,000 at 2009 RM Auctions. ( http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z2180/Bizzarrini-5300-GT.aspx ). |

Carey Loftin sounds like he must have been a really cool guy. It's really sad that he died in 1997, the year I was born. -- Last edit: 2020-01-21 06:49:56 |
