Please go back and edit your ad title. 283 is just sacrilege. 
Formula S has nothing to do with center pod. Do a search on here LOTS of info.

Best color combo for ‘67!
My 67 Commando has a vacuum gauge in the dash. I believe it was optional on all models, but not standard.

A clock was also available.
Yep 3 options, clock, tach or vac gauge.
The search box here can be a pain, but it all equates to good reading.
You can put "Formula S" in the search box and chk "title only"

Can we see some more pics of the car?
Interesting. My 67 Barracuda has always had a vacuum gauge, and it was originally a bench-seat, column-shift slant six car with very few options - automatic transmission, radio, heater and whitewalls were about it.
PS, just as I was about to post this, I said, wait a minute - am I sure about this? So I had to go out to the garage and check a car I've owned since 1986.
Getting old is such fun.The 150 mph speedo is not original, but the vacuum gauge is. EDIT: I decoded the fender tag a long while back, just checked my file and the and tag does show a vacuum gauge. I think for a long time I assumed a vacuum gauge was standard, tach optional, but my 69 Cuda 383 4-speed, which I bought several years after I bought my 67, has neither a vacuum gauge nor a tach.

Yep, anything besides blank in center pod is an option. Formula S has nothing to do with gauges/interior.

Not sure if this work but rather than trying to reply to everyone, I'll update mine. First, everyone has been extremely helpful and (forgave my ignorance). This car is new is new to me before I had (Ford Gran Torino for 42 yrs) probably should have done more research myself before posting. ALL thanks again.
Just to more details pics will come in a few days, factory AC, bench seat, column shift

F 7 is the formula s option code on the fender tag. If you have that on your car's tag you are all good for a Formula S car.

Should have the large rectangular exhaust cutout in the rear valance.
No duals on a 273 Commando.

yep that's the 67 rear valence alright. It just had duals installed. Happens all the time
From the 67 Plymouth Dealer order book the Formula S package details.
Also a 67 dealer quick options guide (2 pages). 2nd page I've digitally highlighted the tach and Vacuum (Performance Indicator) gauge options.
Side note to QWKSLVR, interestingly this doesn't show the "clock" being an option on where I would think would be on page one. I know they were and are on the dealer options lists for 68 and 69, could have been a later option or 68 or 69 model year only?
