* Body Styles: The main body styles were the Berlinetta and the Sport Coupe. The Berlinetta was a more luxurious trim level, often with upgraded features. The Sport Coupe was the base model. Both came as either a hatchback or a notchback (a traditional trunk).
* Engine Options: A range of engines were available, including:
* 2.5L Iron Duke four-cylinder: This was the base engine, known for its fuel efficiency but not its performance.
* 3.8L Buick V6: A more powerful option offering a good balance of performance and fuel economy.
* 5.0L small-block V8: This was the most popular and powerful engine option, offering strong performance. Different versions of the 5.0L were offered with varying horsepower outputs. Some had higher compression and more aggressive camshafts.
* 5.7L large-block V8 (rare): This very powerful engine was a less common option in the 1980 Camaro, usually found in high-performance models.
Therefore, you might specify a 1980 Camaro as something like a "1980 Camaro Berlinetta with the 5.0L V8" or a "1980 Camaro Sport Coupe with the 3.8L V6." The specifics of trim levels and optional equipment further differentiated individual cars.
