Good luck, Dude! I really missed my 1984 S, but finally settled on one "just like it" - which is to say "as close as I could get".

My 80 was lost to Chicago. I've looked for it. Title is still in the name of who I sold it to, but he lost it to an impound yard, so it probably got crushed. Hope you have better luck than I did. If you do turn up a sunrise red 80 with GSLSE suspension swap, RE dual downdraft carbs, and glassed bumpers (rubstrips removed...); let me know.

Best of luck.

Man, if I could get my old '79 back I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I should never have sold it as it's unlikely that I'll ever get that dual RE weber kit again.
