Hello Giff, and welcome aboard.
There are a couple other regular members here from your fair city. I believe at least Warbird Al, and Rook1 are out your way. They may know what's available in your area.
The foreign country I got sent to when I was in the Navy was Texas. I'd have preferred Germany. Oops, sorry, Texans.
Good to hear from you.

paris, michigan. 1980 fuelie for sale $4,500. great looking car. i just received the photos and am getting ready to share them.

i know of the current owner - it is a lifestyle change that is causing him to part with the vehicle. Sorry, have not personally seen the car.

and I stand NOTHING to gain by its sale. send me a PM if interested, and i will put you in touch with the seller.

Hello Giff,

Not too many fiats around in the SLC area, but I did see a new one on KSL that looked pretty nice. If I remember right it was a '76. What area of SLC you in?

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! As far as preference goes, I am open. I tend to like the pre 73, Giff

Welcome to the forum! Having restored an earlier car, I can understand why you would prefer the earlier models. There is something pure about the cleaner design of the very early cars. They tend to be a little more difficult to find, though. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress. Don't be shy about posting and asking for opinions on cars you run across.
