    Chevrolet Citation — X-body (Citation II) (1983–1985)

    The Heritage kits name the car Citation in 1983 and Citation II in 1984 and 1985, with a transverse engine and transaxle; the 1983 kit lists a 2-door notchback coupe (1XH11), a 2-door hatchback coupe (1XX08) and a 4-door hatchback sedan (1XX68), and NICB's 1983 VIN manual gives it car line X. Every row comes from the kits' MVMA specification forms: the engine, brake and suspension pages for all three years, and the optional-equipment weight pages, which print RPO codes only in 1984 and 1985 (the 1983 page names its options without codes, so 1983 rows rest on the engine and chassis pages). The engines are the 2.5L L4 (LR8) and 2.8L 2 barrel V6 (LE2) in all three years, the high-output LH7 in 1983–1984 and the multiport LB6 in 1985; the 1985 option pages name only the hatchback coupe and sedan. The kits print no paint, trim or tire codes, so none are listed.
