In 1968, the Formula S package included a 275 hp motor, heavy-duty suspension, firm-ride shocks, E70-14 Red Streak tires, and dual-exhaust. Total Formula S production for 1968 was 5,196 units, with more than half of that or 2,857 being fastbacks with 340 power. Total Formula S 340 units were 3,917, and total Formula S 383 units were 1,27012.

thanks, that is what i am thinking as well it has p.s. p.b. and A/C so pretty highly options as well and it has 13,000 actual original miles. Needed a water pump and i went ahead to do the timing chain as well and it is perfect Double row chain and Factory numbers on the gear..Amazing

no it was originally Beige from the factory and the guy who had it before me painted it copper...I have yet to find anything that is not factory on it...still has the original hoses on it. i checked the numbers and it is 100% numbers matching....wish there was a way to find out how many with these options and color were built....still has the original hubacps that i found in the trunk
ok I recall seeing this for sale I think. Pretty good size hole in the front passenger floor.

Do you have pictures of the engine compartment?
Untouched original motor with original hose would make a great reference for those restoring their cars to original.

Sure.
But posting them here could help a lot of other people too.
Helps more FABO members if they're posted here for all to see.

No. There were two types, and they were extra cost as stand alone options or part of a package. The "Custom Sill Moldings" (gills and spears) were included in a Spring Special package.
*Edit-
Here's an advertisement for a special package in which they were included on the notchback, but not the convertible or fastback.
