My comments on this topic......
.
Matt Murphy's intentions were to have TAs & Formulas fall into the general Blackbird category whether they came thru Carl Black or not.
If someone says GMMG Blackbird, there is brand recognition.
.
Matt sourced TAs & Formulas from many sources & dealers plus owners brought cars to GMMG to be upgraded into Blackbirds.
There is less confusion if these cars fall into the general category of Blackbird & then split out by model.
.
Example: CETA's fall into this category. Some came thru Carl Black & some did not.

35th Anniversary - Blackbird
.
I have not found any written documentation that states the Formulas not Blackbird's. Matt Murphy called them Blackbirds when we visited.

Does anyone have supporting documentation one way or the other? Let's see it.
