86s had either bumper pads (base) or aero (SE). You don't see many bumper pads since most 86s were SEs or GTs.
The base cars got the Formula nose, starting in 87.

Yes, it appears to be one and the same. Here's some pics.

I grabbed the headliner, visors, shifter, shift and select cables, coolant recovery bottle, and tail lights.
Looks like the carpet is good (black), passenger seat and drivers seat aren't bad. They're some kind of vinyl, or leather. There's a rub hole in the drivers side seat in the lumbar. 85mph guages. Smells good inside....not like mold or like it's been sitting.

Some other things I see that are worth getting are the recall weather strip and clips on the deck lid, the slave cylinder, which will work on V6 4-speeds, and the center caps from those 13 inch turbine wheels.  There have been some requests from time to time on PFF for those center caps. 

If it has a release solenoid for the trunk, the Fastback Formula needs one.  Also, if that dash isn't cracked and the knee-knocker vents aren't broken, I'll pay you to get it.  The steering wheel, if it's in good shape is a good replacement for the paddle style steering wheels.  At least the center horn button is worth getting if it's not buckled.

The picture makes it look like a non-tilt column.  I can't yell for sure.

What's wrong with a non-tilt column?  Seems like it would be a safe bet?

The little Duke Coupe had a non-tilt when I got it.  It was hard to get my legs in between the seat and bottom of the wheel.  Maybe I have my tilt columns raised up, I don't know, but I have no problems with them. 

I've never measured the length.  It could be that the tilt column is longer, therefore the wheel isn't sitting as close to the front edge bolster of the seat.

Dashboard in salvage car is cracked/missing foam. The vents around the knee-catchers appeared in good shape. I can grab those and the recall weather stripping.
One thing, though.....it's not a Muncie 4speed. It looks weird compared to mine.
Honestly, i can't figure out why it's in the salvage yard. The motor appeared good. Not fiddled with too much and clean. No oil in the tailpipe. Is it possible to bring a car back from the wrecking yard once it's in?
