Henry,

The Maratona and the Balocco were special edition models of the GTV6. The
following is from the recently revived GTV6.ORG:

> The Balocco was an '82 cosmetic upgrade that offered a red exterior, red

> seats, black wheel centers, black vinyl applique on the sides of the car, rear
> quadrifoglios in green with special lettering, a sunroof and air conditioning
> and a cheezy plastic plaque on the glovebox door signifying what number out of
> 350 total made yours was...My local dealer sold seven of them and I've owned
> two, big deal...first Alfa I ever worked on, warranty or otherwise... The
> Maratona was an '84 model which was silver with side skirts and fender flares,
