Larry, Since the Mangusta was assembled on the same assembly line as the Ghibli, any chance the locks are similar? or modify an Alfa component. As Lee stated my car does not have the button but only locks by pushing the handle down. Also, as per Roland in the German Mangusta article, those cars were misfits from the assembly line and the guys did what ever they needed to do to get those cars finished.
