Jim, I gave you some historical background assistance with the Iso brand, in my post below. Hope it helps you with brand-recognition factor, for people not as aware of Iso. The company had some really fine looking styling/designs.
Like many Hybrids before the term had a different meaning, these are also affectionately known as American Bastards as they marry a foreign body with an American engine. There have been many over the years and to name just a few: - Railton used Hudson power (England) - Cobra used Ford power (England) - Iso used Chevrolet and Ford power (Italy) - Pantera used Ford power (Italy) - Jensen used Chrysler power (England) - Facel used Chrysler power (France) - Monteverdi used Chrysler power (Switzerland)
We've been asked why we did this particular car. We were asked by the Iso and Bizzarrini group who has over 4,000 fans to consider it. In addition, this group arranged for a correct Iso Grifo and the most knowledgable technical resource to assist which made Raffi's job easier to convey to our factory.
The feedback, especially internationally has been outstanding from those who PreOrdered and from new orders. Most of the press won't arrive for several months, yet early press review have been equally good too.

Posted - 10/07/2024 : 21:57:29 Thank you for your take on the Iso Grifo...this has been a multi-year project with many different variables contributing to the interim delays. Many of the buyers thus far have been from Europe and elsewhere internationally.
