No, it looks older judging by the rubber bumpers. I have a 72 and it has the chrome ones

Don't know about the rubber bumpers but the headlights are the second style.
Looks like to me the 67-early 68's had the enclosed headlights & the late 68-73 had the upright headlights

Looking at this ID chart doesn't look like they even made the 850 spider in 65

It does look like it has the chrome bumper on the rear, no idea about the front one though.
I looked at alot of pics on google & didn't see that type of front bumper ANY

Those sidemarkers were only on 1968 and 1969 models.
The horrible rubber bumper is from some other car, all 850 Spiders had small chrome bumpers.

The Fiat 850 is a small longitudinal-rear-engined rear wheel drive car which was produced between 1964 and 1973.

Are you looking for one? I am currently restoring a 71. I bought a 69 from the local tech-ed teacher for a parts car. After I bought it, I realized it was too nice to part out. Would be a nice project car for someone with body skills. Floor redone and appears pretty mechanically sound.
