SPECS PAGE
  1980, the final production year of the Monza by Chevrolet.  The car would continue on in 1982 as the Cavalier, the sister car to the Pontiac Sunbird.  Apart from new taillamp bezels, black grille centre bars, restyled front air dam, standard bumper guards and new-finish emblems, the Monza would change very little from the '79 model. 
  Chevrolet would limit the options available in the Monza's final year.  Gone was the 305 C.I., 2 Bbl., 5.0 Litre V8 engine, the 5-speed manual transmission, the Monza Station Wagon and the green body-colour option.  Only the 2+2 Sport Hatchback, the 2+2 Hatchback and the Coupe models were available in 1980. 
  Standard equipment on all models
included the following; four-speed
manual transmission, front disc/rear
drum brakes, whitewall tires, front
bucket seats, bumper guards, vinyl
bodyside mouldings, AM radio, tinted
glass, sport steering wheel, lighter,
day/night mirror, carpeting and a
Delco Freedom battery.
  The 2+2 Hatchback added bumper rub stripes, bright door frame and belt mouldings, console, folding back seat and bright/black rear quarter window mouldings.

same as the previous year.  They
included Rally II wheels, front and rear
spoilers, sport suspension, blackwall,
