Sorry about this, I know its no Camaro question but it is at least an F-body question. I have the chance to buy a pretty worn Pontiac Firebir Formula 350 -70. Something to use as an daily driver during the summers because the Camaro is only driven in sunshine nowdays.

I wounder how do I confirm that this car is a real Formula, there must be something on the trim tag.
