- Built by Giotto Bizzarrini, designer of the Ferrari 250 GTO which is now arguably the most valuable collector car in the world, the 1966 Bizzarrini GT Strada 5300 is another top collectible. The Bizzarrini was built as a street legal Grifo A3C. In 1965, a Bizzarrini Grifo won its class at Le Mans and finished ninth overall. 133 Bizzarrini Stradas were made and about 80 still exist today.
Recorded at The Best of France and Italy car show at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, CA.

A LeMans car that can run the entire race , change the oil ,swap the tires , take a nap and drive back to the garage with her. Brilliant!! Mr.B.
I was waiting for Dennis to ask: "Can we take it for a ride"?
"No Dennis, we can not"
Best part of missing school in the 90's was watching this show on TV. Glad I can still see new content on my own schedule
So refreshing to come across a video that gets straight into the content. No intro, no sponsor mentioned, just right into the first question.
And no obnoxious music playing in the background.
I was waiting the whole time for him to start it would have loved to hear it running!!👍😎🇨🇦
That's something you don't see everyday. Italian and beautiful yes. Reliable and Italian finally come together.
Only one word can describe this car, “Breathtaking”!
There are plenty of words if you have a decent command of English.
BIZZARRINI!!!!!
One of the most elegant Sports Cars ever conceived.
Another one that I'm pretty sure that Mr. Bizzarrini had a lot to do with, and is also absolutely gorgeous, is the wonderful Iso Grifo.
Not a mystery to me. I've seen several over the years in California auto shows like Concorso Italiano and Pebble Beach. Bizzarrini was a genius. Always loved the 5300GT, back when you could drive your car to Le Mans, race it and drive it home. Glorious!
I spotted one in my local supermarket car park (parking lot, I'm in the UK).
There was an auction house (COYS) nearby that used to unload cars there before storing them, not someone going shopping.
@@paulqueripel3493 - tha't's a shame. I like the idea of supercars being used as just, well, cars.
@@thosdot6497 it was always fun looking in their windows, seeing what was there. They had the pink panther car , but only for one night, and in the last months before closing down a Mercedes w125 replica.
@@thosdot6497 don't know if it qualifies today but I used to go grocery shopping in my 1975 Ferrari 308GT4, the trunk would take 7 or 8 grocery bags perfectly, just don't buy ice cream as it gets warm fast! lol
@@andybroer651 - exactly what I meant! Well done sir!
I can say I have never heard of this car. But, it has a very compelling story. Thank you for sharing
A man that truly loves his car. And a really nice car. Beautiful! Thanks Dennis and crew.
I've heard Jay Leno talk about these. Rolling Art, Simply Magnificent
Iso Grifo is another one that is stunning.
Thank You for posting.
My favorite Italian sports car!
I'm 70 years old and lucky if I can remember my phone number or what I had for breakfast, but the moment I saw the car I had a flashback to a 60's issue of Road & Track and I said: That's a Bizzarrini!
It still amazes me at all the vary amazing cars out there. Keep fixing them up everyone before they are lost.
Love the side drought set up!
Always loved the 327 Chevy.
Very interesting. From the back it looks a bit like an Iso Grifo. No surprise there!
That engine is gorgeous 😍
My former landlord has one of these, and I ended up with the original AC Delco fuel pump from it on my '67 Camaro. I don't know why he replaced it, but my brother worked for him when he was doing the restoration and saved it for me. He rarely drove it, but he still got rear ended by an idiot in a truck who claimed that on a bright summer day she couldn't see him in the shade of an intersection because the car is black! Later he built a Cobra replica, I think at least in part to have something he could drive without worrying so much about having it damaged by a moron who really ought not to have a driver's license.
Dang 4 Weber side draft dcoe carbs. Such a badass ride.
STUNNING....👏🇬🇧
I knew what it was as soon as I saw it. I read about in the Motor Trend Automotive Yearbook as a teen in the 60's. I have only seen one however during a trip to Europe in 1970 in London. It was red with tan interior driven by a very distinguished gent of about 70 years old who let me look it over even though he was in a hurry, nice guy and incredible car.
I saw one of these parked near my home in Hammersmith, London about 30 yrs ago. I'd never heard of one of these before but what an eye catching beauty. I got talking to the owner and he took the time to fill me in on the history etc of it.
It's a bit like my car.......Bizza this and Bizza that 😉 It reminds me of an Iso Grifo just a wee bit. I remember photographing a red Grifo in 1968 when I was 14. I've never seen a Bizzarini in the flesh though. It looks stunning.
Because the same guy designed the Iso.
FOR THOSE ADMIRING THIS BEAUTIFUL HANDBUILT AUTO IT IS COMPLETELY HAND HAMMERED ALUMINUM AND VERY LOW PRODUCTION, I THINK THE ENTIRE CHASSIS WAS CORVETTE, BUT THE BODY WAS ALL ITALIAN AND ASSEMBLED IN ITALY!! I DROVE THE CAR AND IT DROVE GREAT!!
TIM HANCOCK, YOU MENTIONED THE ISO GRIFFO AND I PURCHASED AN "ISO RIVOLTA" AND IT WAS WONDERFUL DRIVING AND I COULD TAKE MY CHILDREN BECAUSE IT HAD FOUR PLACE SEATING..IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE 🚗 CARS!!
You can see the GTO lines and Ques in this piece of art
I only know about that from Jay Leno's Garage.4 years ago he did a 65 race version review,and 9 months ago he did a 67 that's almost identical to this beauty.Congratulations on your find Sir.
Very beautiful car indeed ! Would have loved to hear him start it
The 327 is one of the greatest engines ever made. Smart man, good choice.
A very beautiful example of one of my favorite automobiles. Congratulations owner. A dream come true no doubt.
I saw one of these in San Diego in 1973. Amazing beautiful car.
Have seen in person, several years ago one showed up at an all Ferrari Show at Blackhawk, Ca., made it park in an outside lot, half the spectators left the main show area to check it out. REALLY a gorgeous car in person!
Smart motor choice. A rebuild can be done without breaking the bank. And the car is beautiful.
Beautiful car!
I've had the pleasure not only to work on one, but to drive it aswell👍🏻
In my dreams Dennis, in my dreams. Thanks for the show!
Just totally beautiful… what more can be said. !
Never heard of 1, & damn I was missing out!😆 Just absolutely beautiful.
I cannot believe this car show was at Woodley Park. That;s right by my favorite par 3 golf course! I got to go next year
Amazing find - this is such a unique car thanks for showing Dennis!
OMG what a stunning car, beautiful !
Beautiful 😘👌🏻💯🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was always a huge fan of The 327. My mother had one in a 65 Impala that was ment for the local sheriff dept. My dad knew the sheriff and somehow an extra was ordered. It revved to the moon! As impressed as I was I didn't know it was as good as or better than anything Enzo was putting out. Ahhhh the good 'Ole days when American horse power ruled...
Sweet ride. Thanks for sharing such a unique piece.
Beautiful car, thanks for showing.
Seen it in the '90s, driven around on the Zandvoort circuit. beautiful car with a very nice engine sound. Forza Italian cars!
I was especially fond of the pop-riveted emblems on the sail panels.
Living just a footstep from Italy ... with a natural love for its virtues and vices .. this purosangue is a wellknown to me . moreover was I astounded to see one on the american set of the movie 'Eiger Sanction' from 1975 :)
Wow great
Great work Dennis!...wow.
What a beautiful car! It has the curves of a gorgeous Italian woman.
We watched 2 of them racing at silverstone classic in the classic GT race... lovely thing.
It's like a European Vette . beautiful car
Another Great One, Thanks, Dennis!
Great job Dennis and crew 👍
I saw one of these racing at Goodwood Festival of Speed a few weeks ago , the same colour too !
I like the insignia. It evoques clockwork.
Thanks Dennis!
Thanks for the video 👍
That car looks excellent in that color.
Stunning !!!
I believe Italian cars for the most part are beautiful, but this thing is definitely unique. With a 327 Chevy over an Italian V 12 mill too, Wow! Different!
Had a " fun" dream of owning a 60s Jag Sedan, with 327 and at that time a four on the floor.
Such a beautiful car. Great color to show off those curves.
Oh wow, very nice and those door handles are completely amazing! 👍👍👍
Italian Design 4sure! 🤠
Really cool piece of machinery!
Fabulous.
Beautiful 👌
About the only part of that car I can relate to is my Dad had a 67 Caprice Estate with a 327 back in the 70's but the only thing shared with this Italian dream supercar would be the engine block.
Dennis is good at letting the interviewee answer the questions rather than answering them himself like that celebrity car guy does.
All things considered, "that" celebrity oftentimes knows more about the owners cars than they themselves do. Hated him as a talk show host, love him as an auto enthusiast.
Very cool
Beautiful motor 😊
Very like the Iso Grifo A3C.
It is a beauty!!
Just WOW!!!
Wow! He designed the lauded Lamborghini V12 that lasted for so long, but he put the 327 in his own car and said it was better than anything ferrari had. That's amazing, but maybe not considering how many very knowledgeable people have said the 327 was great. I myself often thinking it was underrated.
I believe the 327 is internally balanced which made it a great engine. Mouse engine as they are called, rat engines being the 427, 454 etc
Be much cheaper and easier to repair or replace if you broke it.
@@HypocriticYT All the pre-'75 small blocks were internally balanced except the 400.
I think small blocks are little and antiquated. Make mine any all-aluminum 427.
Chevy small blocks are good engines. 302-327-350 all have a 4” bore just different strokes. 302 is same stroke as a 283. It’s peppy and quick. I see more 350’s at car shows in vehicles than other motors
@@patrickshaw8595 That's fine if you got deep pockets. I don't. You can still get a lot of horsepower out of a small block with the right combination of parts.
I thought it was an Iso, and now I know why. They share DNA.
Stunning automobile 🚙🥰
I watched a video from Goodwood Members races this year that had one racing.
One of the sexiest cars ever dreamt of
I have a 67 Camaro. I just put the rebuilt 327 back in it. Pumped up, it probably has similar horsepower as the Bizarini, but wouldn't I love those side draft Webers.
Gorgeous 🇮🇹🇺🇸👌
What a car!
He chose a great engine in the 327
It reminded me of the Mach 5 from Speed Racer.
Reminds me of the lambo Muria.
After saying the name of the car you're supposed to do the chef's kiss.
I could see it's a Bizzarrini immediately
I saw one on Central ave. in Scarsdale, NY, during the mid 1970s.
I love a 327!
The engine probably heats up the cabin alot. It's in your lap!
Got it from the thumbnail
IT'S A BIZZARINI!!!
Should of started it up and gave it a rev. Love to hear what it sounds like.
Subtitles say "Pizzerini" instead of "Bizzarini" and I love it.
There is another Italian American car 1965 to 74 called iso grifo came with 327 or 427 and I think is had a jaguar transmission if you like that car you may like Iso Grifo too
I'm 6'2" and do not fit in sports cars. S2000. 240Z.i fit in a Z4 BMW but have to be shoeless.
A Gorgeous car that is.
