S model for 1981 was for RoW only with 4.7L 300hp CIS K-Jetronic engine.
US didn't get S until 1983.

As Anders pointed out - S model 4.7L was available as a ROW car from 1980.
1981 US cars were 4.5L

in 81 there was a "competition package" option which included the addition of the S model spoilers, disc wheels and also sport seats. So it looked like an S but didnt have the 4.7L S engine.

Bruno, do a vin decode to get options list to see if it is truly a comp car, not added by previous owner.

In my case, it was previous owner.
