Demand for the innovative 4WD models caused AMC to discontinue the slow selling Pacer in December 1979, to allow for increased Eagle production capacity at its assembly facility in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Production for the 1980 model was 9,956 four door sedans, 10,616 two door sedans and 25,807 station wagons, for a total of 45,379 units. The Eagle models helped AMC increase total car production to 199,613 units, or 18 percent higher than the previous year. Black plastic end caps were featured on the 1980 bumpers.
