The only exterior difference between a 77 Astre wagon and a 79 Sunbird wagon were the grills (besides Badges of course) But the Sunbird/Monza wagons were the only Vega Bodied cars you could get a V6 in from the factory.

So none of the RWD 75-80 Sunbird's are "real Sunbirds"?
I merely see them as an Astre, it's the wrong wheel drive stuff I object to.

What's wrong with rear wheel Drive? I tend to view the FWD versions as wrong wheel drive.

Just noticed this. Rear wheel drive IS the good stuff, FWD is wrong wheel drive. That's why I'm hesitant to call a RWD Sunbird anything other than an Astre. It's not intended as disrespect, it's actually the opposite.
