Yes; I'd checked all the numbers on it through a 3rd party who then bid on it for me during the estate auction.
Previous owner, John, who would have been my brother in law except that he passed away from skin cancer in early '98, knew it was an SD when he took it in trade at the dealership he worked at. He bought it off the dealership the day the person I believe to be the original owner drove it in to trade it in '83 or 84.
I could never be certain who added the Trans Am parts, I know John bought the Turbo wheels for it as well as a stripe kit. I have Polaroids of it with the front spoiler and wheel flares in the correct shade of cameo with the IIs or Cragars on it. (can't remember which rim at the moment.) I don't think John knew it was a Formula, my sister and law always referred to it as a Trans Am. Never was able to track down owner no. 1 or id them, selling dealership was a dead end for information.
