Yeah I know, you can't believe what a dealer will tell you when you order a new car.
I found this one on the internet, but I really think it looks like an addon. Looks like crap to me and glad I could never get it on my 79 Formula.

Definitely couldn't get a shaker scoop on a 79 Formula from the factory.
That picture is something an owner did to the Formula hood.
I almost did the same thing to my 72 Firebird that I put a Formula hood on myself in the late 70's. I picked up a complete shaker assm. from a 76 TA, and had the pattern all taped out on the Formula hood so I could cut the hole.
I just couldn't do it, and so glad I didn't !
I still have the shaker assm. in storage from all those years ago ...lol
I saw a beautiful white 73 SD-455 Formula two summers ago in NJ. I think the guy was from Freehold.
