forgetting the cobbled engine parts, the steering wheel is a dead give away;
That is a base model only wheel!
Formula and Esprit both came with the same upgraded "deluxe" (three spoke) steering wheel.
As a matter of fact, aside from drive train, and hood, the only thing that differentiates a base from a Formula are:
Steering wheel (base vs deluxe)
Steel wheels (14x6 vs 14x7)
