1980 and later have air springs. See <http://www.vintagebirds.com>
and click on the link to history. You can get a rundown of the basic
specs for each year (some years are better documented than others).
There's always a possibility that an "early" 'bird in the model year
may not have all the same features... that is, a 1980 might have leaf
springs if it was a chassis that was late through the production line
from '79.

It is unlikely that a "1981" has leaf springs... it's probably a '79
or early '80 instead of an '81.
