    "Virtually EVERY option"?

    - No gauge package
    - No rear window defogger
    - No power antenna
    - No Auto Temp Control A/C
    - No RT remote control mirror
    - No optional (larger) engine
    - (Probably) no power passenger seat

    I'd say this is a rather lightly-optioned Bonneville Brougham

    Definatly no Power Passenger seat! I Would ad

    No Clock
    No Full Size Spare
    No Dome Reading Light
    No Cornering Lights
    No Under Hood Light.

    It does look to be a very very low mileage car as claimed.

    As for Optional Engines it may have a 1 or step up engine in it. I don't know for sure but wasn't the standard engine in 1980 a 231 V-6? With the 265, and 301 Pontiac the next step up? The only 350 available was the Olds Diesel. So believe it or not it has the largestest gasoline engine available in the 1980 sedans.

    What a very sad year 1980 was for U.S. auto engines!

    Yeah, other than power windows and locks, it really has no options.

    I don't think you could get the v6 in the Bonneville, I know the Catalina had it as the base engine option (per the chart posted, I'm right ;-) ).

    The 265\301 is sad, but it's nothing a 400 being dropped in couldn't solve. I really like these cars as I drove a '78 400 one for years.

    Looks like you could still get a gas 350 in California.....
