Default Unique Color 968

Seller says the color is Tahoe Blue. To me it looks like Mexico or Riveria Blue(993 colors)

Its located in DC/VA area anyone know this car? And know if thats the right color of the car?

There was a 968 cab in my area in this same color. I believe its Riveria blue also..a beautiful color in person, pictures dont do it justice. A Rennlist guy in NJ bought the car actually.

Its possible Porsche just changed the name of the color. Kinda like India and Guards red.

Isn't Riviera Blue a matte color? This looks more metallic.

That's definately not Riviera. Probably Horizon Blue Metallic.

edit: Actually, he states it's a special order. Tahoe Blue Met was a special metallic in '92. Horizon Blue Met. was offered in '93 as a std. metallic, but it is a bit of a paler color.

Seen this car at the track. Its not Riveria, it's metallic. Tahoe sounds right to me. Email seller and ask for the option code.

I think it is the lighting but looks like Riviera to me. Yes the cab was bought by a well known rennlister and he is doing an amazing job bringing the car to the same level as Damian's beautiful yellow cab. Very nice rare color.

BTW equalluy nice and rare color. I wouldn't mind the GTS myself.
