Coupe Hatchback The 1980 Mustang saw improvements in fuel economy with the engine to match the new lighter more aerodynamic Fox body introduced the previous year. The base inline-4 received a 23 percent fuel economy improvement; the mid 1979 improved 200ci straight-6 remained, and just like when the Mustang II was introduced, the 302ci (5.0 liter) V8 was dropped. The Cobra option now included a unique aerodynamic front and rear end similiar to the 1979 Pace Car replica. The Ghia options package was offered for both the coupe and hatchback. The Mach 1 was dropped but Ford organized the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) group to build up special racing versions and create kits of bolt-on parts that the car owner could install for road and track use in IMSA or SCCA event. The McLaren Mustang was also introduced later in 1980 with an emphasis on style and performance. The colors didn't change significantly in 1980 of 1979 but the use of a two-tone (above and below the body side molding) factory paint was offered with nearly every color. The momentum of the Fox body remained high with 271,322 cars built, not dropping fast as seen in the second year of the Mustang II in 1975.
