Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada – the ultimate car? Some cars transcend the boundaries of engineering and become rolling works of art. This 1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada is undoubtedly one of them. Created by Giotto Bizzarrini, the legendary engineer behind the Ferrari 250 GTO, this extraordinary machine combines stunning Italian design, cutting-edge race-bred engineering, and raw American power. This particular example underwent a four-year, bare-metal restoration, overseen by former chief race mechanic Stefano Volpi. Every detail was restored to perfection, while Corsa-spec modifications were implemented to further enhance its driving dynamics. Since completion, it has only covered 250 kilometers, ensuring its concours-level condition. A Race-Bred Grand Tourer Although designated as a road car, the 5300 GT Strada is essentially a race car for the street. Its lightweight bodywork, advanced semi-monocoque chassis, and mid-front-engine layout offer a level of balance and precision that few road cars of its era could match. At its heart lies a 5.3-liter Chevrolet V8. Paired with its race-inspired chassis and near-perfect weight distribution, the Strada was capable of reaching an astonishing top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph), outpacing many of its Italian contemporaries. Flawless Restoration, Exquisite Craftsmanship The bare-metal restoration of this Bizzarrini was executed to the highest possible standard. The body was stripped down and meticulously rebuilt, ensuring perfect panel fitment and factory-correct details. The deep, mirror-like paint finish, gleaming chrome, and correctly restored wheels contribute to the car’s stunning presence. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit is a showcase of Italian craftsmanship and race-inspired minimalism. The hand-stitched leather upholstery, immaculate dashboard, and iconic wood-rimmed steering wheel create a timelessly elegant yet functional environment. A Legacy of Motorsport Excellence The 5300 GT Strada was born from Bizzarrini’s work on the Iso Grifo A3/C, a car that dominated at Le Mans in 1964 and 1965. When Bizzarrini parted ways with Iso, he refined the A3/C under his own name, producing the 5300 GT in both Strada (road) and Corsa (racing) configurations. Every aspect of this car reflects Bizzarrini’s dedication to race-proven performance. The sophisticated aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and powerful V8 engine made it one of the most formidable grand tourers of its era. A Rare and Coveted Collector’s Car With only a handful of Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada models ever produced, this is a highly sought-after piece of automotive history. Accompanied by a wealth of historical documentation, verified by a Bizzarrini historian, and enhanced with Corsa-spec upgrades, this car represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for serious collectors.
