"I saw a picture of a  junior Z of zagato(spelling) I kind of looked like
a gtv6.  I was wondering if they brought those to America, and if so why
are there none on the road."

No, they didn't bring any, but there are about twenty or thirty in the 
country. Two types, 1300 (1969-72) and 1600 (1972-75) They are much smaller, 
built on a Spider wheelbase but much tighter- the 1300 is 9" shorter and 3" 
narrower than a Spider of the same vintage (half an inch narrower than a 
Berlina, the narrowest of the standard 105s), and weighs about 185 pounds 
less, but about 300 pounds heavier than the alloy-bodied Giulietta Sprint 
Zagato; these are steel. The 1600 is about 4" longer than the 1300. There 
were roughly 1100 1300s built, plus about 400 1600s, so they are moderately 
rare but not extremely rare. Most of them lead pampered lives; there is a 
rather delicate plexiglass grill above a rather delicate front bumper, so it 
is not a car you park on the street in the city.
