All Trans Ams, Z28's, and Formulas could have posi's. The base models almost always do not have posi rears.

anything could have a posi. like kevin said look at the ones more likely to have it but you never know for sure. i wouldn't get hung up on not buying what i wanted based on what was between the two axles, that's easy to change.

You change the carrier (the part the ring gear is attached to) to a posi one... you will also need a shim kit and some marking paint (some knowhow too) in order to set your gear lash right.
