Black in '79?

Post by surftalks »

Were there any Black CBX's produced in the '79 model? (not dealer installed 80 furniture, but from the factory) And are the decal colors identical to the Candy Glory Red?

I just want to set the record straight as I've had people say that they had a Black CBX in 79, yet I don't remember ever seeing one.

Ian Foster mentioned the black CBX-Z in his book and concluded that it was available in France and Germany. It's asnt available in the USA or UK

Yes there are black 79 and have NOS black fenders and tails in stock ( without lids) to prove it. Been to a couple Euro rallies and seen them as well.

Chuck Ewing bought a black 79 trunkless tail at the first Mid-Ohio Vintage Day swap meet and ICOA rally back in 95-96, it was still in the OEM wrapper and box, I passed it by earlier in the day because he wanted $150 for it. :laughing-rollingyellow:
