What kind of car is this?!?
I was watching a 70's Italian crime flick the other night when all of a sudden there is a guy thrashing a car around the streets of Italy for about two and a half minutes in a car I've never seen before. I was freaked out that I couldn't name the make of the vehicle, and have to ask you guys for some help on figuring out what the hell this car's roots are. thx. (btw, the movie was called "The Violent Professionals")
Thanks.
Thanks.

Front looks like Maserati, tail light look Ferrari, rear glass looks like Vette.
I have no idea,...but it pretty cool looking.

This is an Iso Grifo
The Italian supercar firm, Iso, launched its second model in 1963 (following on from the 1962 Rivolta), the Iso Grifo. The Grifo used a shortened version of the Rivolta platform and shared its 5.3 litre American Chevrolet V8 engine. In 1968 Iso added the option of a more powerful 7.0 litre version.
The Grifo 7.0 litre used a 6998cc V8 at first with later cars using a 7443cc unit. Like all Iso models the Grifo had its own unique blend of Italian styling (the model was originally designed by Bizzarrini) and American muscle-power.
Here is the one down the street at the Blackhawk Musuem
Isn't Google cool?
