I just picked up a '68 Fiat 850 Spider for a project. The car has major rust in the unibody structure, but a decent looking body. I had the engine running a couple of days after towing the car home. The little 903 cc engine sounds great, doesn't smoke.
Not sure if this'll go over well, but the car is in the process of being stripped to build a single seater using the engine, transaxle, and suspension. A few reasons I picked this car were low initial cost, good suspension for my project, and the fact that it didn't look like a good candidate for restoration, although some parts might help someone else out.
I'll kick back and lurk awhile to get the feel of the place before posting too much. If someone has questions about my project, ask away and I'll open up.
