Gone was the 455 in the Firebird, with a 301 cubic inch V8 being standard, with a turbocharger as an option. Because of increasing emissions restrictions, the variety of powerplants in the Firebird had been parred back by 1980. Along the way, most of the changes were cosmetic. The second generation of the Firebird would be built for 12 model years, 1970-81. Thanks, Ikey Heyman, for more of your sleuthing efforts!
It’s located in Elwood Park, Illinois and available here on craigslist for $18,500. It’s been extremely well-maintained and likely to be as nice a 40-year-old car as you’d find anywhere.
This 1980 Firebird has the Formula option package, making it almost as stylish as the more well-known Trans Am. They were beautiful cars, but not nearly as fast as before, which may have limited sales interest. But they had peaked two years later when production down nearly half in 1980 from the year before.
