Came out in fall of 1980, like almost every year. They stop production in late summer around the end of July in preparation for the next year. August is usually when new cars are in full production for the fall release.

There were 126,139 1981 Camaros built. Looking at the last 6 digits in your VIN will tell you how close to the end of production your car is.
First car off the line was #100001, which would mean the last car was #226139.
