Yes, I drove a 1967 Fiat 124 Spyder given to me by my Dad with about 85,000 miles to Alaska in 1973 with a buddy. In February. Made it but it cost me a valve job when the cogged belt shed some teeth in the minus 45 degrees Fahrenheit cold that greeted us in Whitehorse one morning. My wife had one too, before we got married. I thought they were great little sports cars for their time. Saw a really nice one this Fall near San Francisco at a British car meet. The one in the photo looks to be in very good shape.
Nice photos. While I will never afford one, I have visited the dealerships in a few cities to drool. The one near Sausalito is an especially nice dealership, lots of cars and very warm sales guys. Jim
