Default WOW - this is sure BLUE!!!

I don't suppose you'd lose this one easily in a parking lot! And it's NOT prussian blue, don't quite know what it is, but it's not Prussian.

BLUE car

Man....now I know what a tall shifter is..as my 84 had a tall one..but this one is extreme....must have been the Porshce Exlusiv option package....

And yes..not Prussian Blue...more like a Cobat Blue of 91 vintage...not bad at all..

I think that was the very obscure and not often bought "Holy **** Blue" that Porsche offered for awhile.

My buddy had a Petrol Blue 928 and it was a more subtle, almost light teal color. That looks like the blue color thay painted late 80's IROC Camaros with.

There is a minerva blue in 81..could be..check the Oz colour site...lots of nice blues..and the blue I was thinking was Horizon Blue..in 91...Cobalt blue was 94 era.

Petol Blau has more of a greenish tint to it. An old friend of mine had a 79 with that color..really nice car..and I kick myself for not buying when he sold....

IMHO, the car looks to be in excellent condition - I think I like the color due to originality, but not sure . . . .

It's actually more of a teal I think

Just spoke to the owner, he is a mechanic at Eurocar here in Dallas.
No color code on the door frame - was there but has come off - either worn off or removed.
Looks a resonable car.
I can go look closer if anybody is serious.

Rog100,

I am seriously thinking of getting it. I love the color. The car looks really nice. I would love a 5 speed too. It would fit next to my 86.5 in the garage. My wife will leave me though. Hope she will be OK. Can you look at it for me?

Thanks

ROG 100-- Just bought the red Euro S from the same guy. He was telling me about the blue car too (no interest here, got what I want). I'll be out to pick up the Euro in a week, and then the test-drive home.

I thought this was the same guy that sold the red car - I recognize the townhomes and the driveway.

GO Pizza, go! Become a two car owner! Go for it!!!
