1980
In 1980 the slow-selling V8 engine was dropped in favor of the more thrifty 258 in³ I6, but the market could hardly have cared less. Other changes instituted for the 1980 model year included black flares and air dam, standard 14x6 styled road wheels with the aluminum rims optional, and no simulated aluminum dash overlays.
