    Many decades ago a co-founder of the IBOC told me he was going out to the desert above Los Angeles to see the Iso Grifo prototype. He didn't buy it himself but once it got known, the race to get it was on. I think the late Ron Kellogg may have had it for awhile but he was a tire dealer, not a film star. i always wonder if it was Duncan Renaldo, Clint Eastwood--who was it that had the acumen to save that car from obscurity? I know Eastwood bought some Italian cars when he was filming spaghetti westerns but I think those were Ferraris.

    Actually, I think Eastwood had a Griffo, so it could be him
