Wow! that must be a record response!
You are largely correct but I have a slightly different description so I'll LOCK it for you to fill in the missing letters/numbers denoted by an 'x'. The year is very close and could well be correct but it's not quite what I have.

1972 is correct.
Furia was the second of the three Fracasettis.

I'm now unsure that the caption describing the model name of this third Fracasetti is correct.
I found another photo of the car showing "246GT" in the front air intake but this looks more like a promotional/advertising logo.
So I'll award you the point and call it solved.

Here's the original photo plus the front view -
