GSL Model
This began in 1980 (part of P815 run) as the "Leather Sport", 2500 units,
and became the GSL in 1981. In Canada, this was known as the GX.
Series II
In 1981 they were restyled, most visibly in the rear.
P130
A stop-gap version appeared in July 1982, the P130, with an improved engine
for better fuel economy. A high output audio system was an option. It was
called "Black Dynamite".
