The 1966 Bizzarrini Strada 5300 coupe offered here is a stunning restoration inside and out. Finished in silver with a black suede interior, this 5300 Strada represents the ultimate in period Italian automotive styling, with the bulletproof reliability and proven performance of the Chevrolet small-block. Inside the low-slung doors, the interior is finished in fine black suede, cloth, and carpet set off only by a few instruments and a beautiful wood steering wheel.

While it’s easy to think the Strada 5300 is identical in appearance to the Grifo, in reality the overall shape is the same, but many details differ, with the Bizzarrini a bit rounder and much more aggressive in aspect. The Corvette 327, while sharing the same four-barrel Holley carb and 365-hp rating with the Grifo, is tuned to give additional torque, and the competition option brought four Webers and 400 hp to the party.
