Dang it, I thought I had one of the only black 968's ever made.

Used to own this 1993 with light grey leather, and a 6 speed too. Would love to get it back if it's in descent shape. Sold it to someone in NY back in 1999. I believe he still owns it if anyone has seen it?!?!?
Pic doesn't accurately represent the "true." This was taken before digital cameras.
I had just put those 17's on it. Found out recently that they are "technically" not correct...I should have put the Cup1's on it since it was a 1993 and the Cup2's were not available until later in 1994.

Oops, should have read:
"true" color.

Nice, someone here in the US liked Tahoe Blue so much that they ordered it as a color to sample metallic coupe in 1993, after the color was no longer available.

Jeff - do you know why the Tahoe Blue colour was only available in 1992? Was it because it wasn't popular at the time or was there something more to it - like it was a registered colour to another manufacturer? Either way - I love it because I can't find any other genuine Tahoe Blue cars online!

There are plenty of examples of paint colors that came and went with Porsche over the years. I've seen a few UK examples of Tahoe Blue 968's.

But it is one of the few colors to come back 15 years later and be reintroduced on the first year Caymans... at the Frankfort introductions.

Your guess is as good as mine. It could be because of sales. PCNA only sold 1 NA 968 coupe and 5 cabs in Tahoe Blue back in 1992 when it was available. It was a $1600 option. I have seen a couple of these through the years.

I guess my 94 cab is a 1 of 1 if you combine the paint/interior/top.

1 of 31 Z8 black metallic cabs
1 of 1 Z8 black metallic cabs with a V1 classic grey top and a TU light grey/classic grey interior.

968Geb ? "Jacks911 are those PORSCHE letter stickers on your bumper? "

Yes - they were on the car when I bought it in 2005 - I assumed they came from the 928 - as I have seen this on their bumpers and it appears to be about the same size. Either that or someone custom made the lettering decal. They are not perfectly set so I do not think it was a factory or Dealer add. But from 5 feet away they do look nice.

Default Rare 968 Colors

Here is a picture of my wife's 93' Tahoe Blue (paint to sample) 968 at the 2011 Porsche Parade in Savannah, GA.
