1980 Bonanza question
 

Hey y’all, I’ve got my eye on an ‘80 Bonanza in my area and I’m waiting on the seller to get back from out of town and take more pictures. It looks like it’s basically a Cheyenne with the square Silverado headlights (I already have an 80 Silverado).

My Google-fu must be weak. I’ve found the Bonanza brochures that list the available options for the Bonanza package for 77 and 78 but for the life of me I can’t find one for 1980. Does anybody here know what the 1980 Bonanza options are or have a scan of the brochure?

I just want to know what I might be getting myself into. This one might have a straighter more solid body than my Silverado so… here’s hoping the price works out right.

(EDIT: I know the pre-80 packages were based on the Scottsdale trim but, all the documentation I can find says “this changed in 1980.”)

Awesome, I had that thread saved somewhere already to use the pictures as inspiration for what to do with the '80 I already have.

Looking at that label, would it be safe to assume that all YG6 '80 Bonanzas have a 350 instead of a 305, or are they more of a grab bag of random options than that?

(Of course, the guy selling the one I'm looking at hasn't replied to my last message for a couple of days so this may all be a wild goose chase anyway...)

I believe you still had all engine options

If I remember correctly, the Bonanza and Sequoia packages were kind of a catch-all / promo deal for convenience and appearance options. I don't think they dictated drivetrain options.
