1974 GTV - "Mario Andretti Special Edition"?

Greetings,

I have an 1974 GTV which has a plaque on the dash:
"Mario Andretti Special Edition - #2 of 150."

So far, my research indicates that only Alfettas went Mario Andretti limited eidtion, not the earlier GTVs (from Pat Braden's recent book). Anybody aware of any special edition GTVs and what differentiated the cars other than the plague (I know no performance changes were made, but my car came with a electric sunroof - I also wonder if it is dealer or factory installed).

I can take and post some photos, but really, there is nothing special about the car, other than the electric sunroof (possibly dealer installed) and the authentic looking :-) plaque. I also have records back to 1978, and got the car from a person in the Alfa community through a reputable mechanic, so the likelihood of counterfeit is extremely low. Primarily, trying to see if there are other similarly plaqued cars out there.
