Welcome! Silver is the fastest color too!!! In the colonies, the silver is a Z model alright, but a 1979. I love mine, and my C model too!

That #44 serial # you saw is really 10044. That is sometime confusing, but there were nearly 25,000 '79s made.

Darn, Dave For a moment I thought there was something interesting

I checked the ICOA Database and our records show the following 79s owned by members with the last two serial numbers less than CB1-2000099.

CB1-2000039, CB1-2000048, CB1-2000052, CB1-2000054, CB1-2000056, CB1-2000075 & CB1-2000079

>>>>

There are ten or more with serial numbers between CB1-2000100 & CB1-2000199

>>>>

There could be alot more in both these ranges.......this was a very quick search on the topic.

>>>>

Now that we got this covered anyone interested on who has the CBX with the most miles....
