Any gearheads out there who can confirm the year of this beauty?

I had a 1968 850 Spyder. I think this a 1967 model. The '68 had little side marker lights on the front and rear fenders that were not on the '67 and since I don't see the lights here, I conclude '67. If you could see the front it would be easy, the '67 had cool aerodynamic covers over the head lights, whereas the '68 had exposed vertical plain head lights. The side markers and the exposed head light was due to NHTSA regs that went into effect for 1968 and later models.

Funny I just was looking at another post from the same day and they had the same year fiat you mentioned with the marker lights on the front fender but had a removable hardtop

1968 feels about right for this picture based on the cars and when fotomat islands were popular

I had a 68, this looks about right.

Although someone pushing it would be more authentic

Same issue from 1968 to 1978! I had a 1978 Fiat 124 Spyder and djohnson's comment is 100% accurate.
