It's not dead sexy like the Miura, but the Iso Grifo was one interesting piece of machinery, too. Those were the early days of Shelby-American and everyone was playing with the engine-transplant concept. Iso used a Can-Am spec Chevy big-block. All that torque made the lack of V-12 music easier to overlook.
