..because this is indeed what it is.
I don't know where this car has been all its life, but I can't find it in any Alfa books or on very many Alfa websites, so you must have a very good knowledge of these one-off Alfas.

Here it is without any amateur alterations by me:

Not so much knowledge of rare Alfas.  I found this one in a Frua reference.

I think your photo alteration of the distinctive Alfa grill was masterful.  It threw me for a bit.
