Select Drive introduced mid yearTwo new models were introduced this year. The sporty SX/4 based on the Spirit and the low priced Kammback based on the old Spirit/Gremlin. All Eagles this year received new bumper end caps that improved the overall looks of the cars and a new trim level “Sport” was introduced. Other new features were a restyled grill and the optional alloy wheels. The Sport trim option included blacked out ground effects, blacked out chrome and grill. Under the hood a four cylinder engine (2.5 L) was standard making the 258 engine an option and a manual transmission became standard equipment as well. Three trim levels were offered in 1981; Base, DL/Sport and Limited. During the mid year all Eagles were fitted with select drive. This meant the driver could now choose between 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive.
