Well I guess I did decode this car pretty good.
Thanks for the clarification toomanybirds, great info you posted, thanks.

SDD
I like the red and blue, very easy to read and understand

1972 Formula production from the "Firebird Decoding Guide":
Formula 350 = 2,544
Formula 400 = 2,429
Formula 455 (all were HO) = 276
Total Formula production = 5,249
Manual trans Formula = 1,082
Automatic trans Formula = 4,167

The P01 Deluxe, and the P02 Custom Finned wheel covers were 14" and would not fit the 15" wheels that came with the handling package.

I assume they used the dog dish caps with the trim rings to simulate the look of full wheel covers. I also assume very few were built this way, and of those that were, most were replaced with aftermarket wheels when new.
