Thanks for the information, I hadn't heard of the 17 vs 41 breakdown.

Default Why statistics exist for 73 Formula SD's
The reason we have a complete, 100% breakdown for the 73 Formulas and not for the 74's is that, sometime in the mid 90's, an enthusiast had a strong interest in the 73 Formula's. Through hard work and dedication, he was able to obtain all 43 VIN's through communication with each state's DMV. He then ordered the PHS documents for all 43 cars. He allowed me to compile the data on those 43, which appeared in one of the SD Registries, back in the time when they were printed and mailed. I have to believe the opportunity to gather this type of information from the DMV is no longer permitted. PHS, by contract, is not allowed to mine the microfilm for statistics. They are only able to fill orders from customers who provide a VIN. So, we will never be able to obtain a 100%breakdown on the 74's like we have for the 73's.

The greatest Firebird Formula ever built IMHO. Radio delete, 4-speed. What a beast. Rick Mahoney pics, his car.

Nicest SD formula maybe...

I would rather have the never built 70 RAIV 4 speed formula with dual snouts.

I hold that the snout hood is the reason a formula is a formula...
