All the correct answers have been given.
I'll just echo whats already been said., the 1980's Z29 spyder option was all together. Every '80 spyder had decals and a handling package. The 1980's had the best looking front airdam of all the spyders. But you couldnt get the V8 anymore.
An evenfire 231 with new better flowing heads was available as the top engine option.
990 spyders in 1978 had only the Z01 package.
Something like 1,010 in '79
and then some similar amount '77.
The 76's had no decals at all. Just the emblems. 2,339 is split between coupes and hatchbacks.
So its fair to say over all only about 4,000 Z01 only spyders existed.
A number in the 'pretty rare' category.
I once owned a really sharp looking 1980 spyder.
Originally the car was silver with Dk Blue interior (a really sweet combo...so many compliments on this car).
So the car would have had blue decals. Must have been sweet.
The car was freshly repainted corvette silver when I took ownership. So there were full spyder emblems but no decals.
I put the side spyder scripts on it from a Z01(spyder handling package) only car it took on a slightly different character in my mind, than with the big blue decals, but I liked it just the same.
I believe a 1980 trim tag will have Z29 on it where 02BLK is on the tag pictured above. Or try to find the build sheet.
You should have black headlight rings, black window trim and side mirrors. also black trim on the taillights instead of chrome. Those things usually stay intact even when the decals are stripped and the car is repainted.
