Mike,
When in doubt, look at the pictures. :)
There is a stud with a nut on the back side at the bottom which engages a hole in the body panel on the Pantera. I have to assume an Alfa is configured the same way.
Here is a good source for both chrome and black handles:

https://classicalfa.com/mi024-boot-fuel-flap-release-handle/
Here is the associated cable, which may or may not be long enough:

Mike,
When in doubt, look at the pictures. :)
There is a stud with a nut on the back side at the bottom which engages
a hole in the body panel on the Pantera. I have to assume an Alfa is
configured the same way.

Mike,
That's a standard Alfa Romeo Spyder trunk release. Readily available.
Pantera ones were chrome, later Alfas were black. I assume early Alfas
were chrome but didn't know?
Here is a new black one on EBay:
[4]https://www.ebay.com/itm/143930434475?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127
632-2357-0&ssspo=xtRAfmZ6Rve&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=yOodP4aXT3u&var=&widge
t_ver=artemis&media=COPY
And another:
[5]https://www.ebay.com/itm/175365266353?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127
632-2357-0&ssspo=Scc-rK99Q1C&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=yOodP4aXT3u&var=&widge
t_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Here is a new reproduction one from Mr Fiat:

Just fire up Google and you will see they are everywhere.

all that he had. Does anyone happen to have one they purchased but
didn't use that I might be able to buy? This would be the latch
mounted in the driver's door jamb similar to the ones used on the
early
pushbutton cars. You can see it at this link.
