Click to expand...

They made 3444 SE turbo T-top cars and only 103 SE hardtops.

Motor will be 301 cubic inches.

And the best way to confirm if it's a real SE is to run it through Pontiac Historical Services...but a good indicator will be to look on the data plate on the driver's side firewall...it should have a Y84 code there.

No way to tell what the build number is in 1980.

Welcome!
Are you a member of the Australian F-body club on the internet?
They have a few members that come out to America every other year, and they buy cars and parts, put them in a cantainer, and ship them back down under.
That would be your best bet for getting parts.
