I had a '70 and a '71 124 Spyder. I really liked them. They had the 1608 aluminum twincam, a good little motor. As a poor college kid, however, I bought pretty ratty examples, which I paid for later. One of them had no top and had snow inside - I bought it anyway (??) I rebuilt the head on one with a burned valve, which was my first major project, in a sand driveway.
The 124, of course, was the gateway drug to an Alfa Romeo Spider, but that was the plan from the beginning.
It was an original design from Pininfarina (and built at Pininfarina), at the same time and quite related to the bigger Ferrari 275 GTS (Spider). They have that same trunk design.

The rally version was cool, with these fantastic Cromodora wheels.
