Is this car a Formula?

http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/1122709680.html

I've been trying to help these people to understand that this is not a Formula. They changed the listing today but still maintain its a Formula.

So I ask all the experts on this forum to back me up on this.....


FORMULA?

Re: Is this car a Formula?

no, it is absolutely not a formula, its has ground effects, no formy had them, the 305 tbi motor was available in the base firebirds, which it is.

its a common misconception, people think that just because it has a v8, its a formy, not knowing that base birds could have a v8

Looks like they changed it. The problem is the base Firebird and Formula share the same model Vin code, so when people look up a carfax or such it says it's a Formula. I've seen people advertise base 6 cylinder car as Formula's.
