All Stingrays do. But fyi the way to tell is to turn one rear wheel and see which direction the other one turns. Posi will turn both tires/wheels the same direction, whereas std diff. will make them turn opposite directions.
Note that these cars have an unusual rear end and that hanging both tires off the ground in order to turn them will bind at least one of the rear u-joints during the process. So don't be surprised if they don't spin so easy when jacked up...unless you have the knuckle supported underneath and the tires are not hanging at the extent of suspension travel.

Good piece of info there. I always wondered, even made me look for problems that I couldn't find...
