In the garage a 92 Black Cab and a 95 Speed Yellow Cab. Sorry about the double post above. Trying to figure out how to remove them.

Your car is 100% Tahoe Blue.... mine is Tahoe Blue with a minute fraction less silver extract.

I have a friend who used to own a Tahoe blue 968. Maybe it was yours.

There was only 1 official code 58 Tahoe Blue coupe, NS820708. It had side moldings and the light grey/classic grey interior and a number of other options. Sound like yours?

That said, one of the color to sample 968 coupes is also Tahoe Blue.

I think I've seen a Tahoe blue coupe running around near me, but have never been close enough to see the interior. Strange to think it is an exceedingly rare car like that.

Agreed, it is a fantastic color. It was a "special" metallic paint option for $1500 only in 1992. They did produce 5 Tahoe blue cabs.

Thanx Jeff. Yep! There it is in my avatar. Never knew it was 1 of 1 or I might have let go a little slower. So, with the SY cab, the white/red cab, the gray/gray/gray cab and the crashed car it seems I've had some rare cars quite by accident. Seems like I had an M030 cab too. I miss the Tahoe car. Shudda kept it. It should be in Socal now unless moved again.
BTW, the way I bought Tahoe was I saw it parked in downtown Walnut Creek in a park. Waited for the owner. Asked him if he wanted to sell. Made an offer which I considered to be low. He accepted which scared me at the rime. Deal struck, Drove to bank and DMV. Took an afternoon. Presto, 4 in my driveway, 3 gone, 8 to go.

Nice, this one I know you never owned. They never produced an M030 cab, not even in Europe. There is a M030 cab study car in the Porsche museum, currently on display, but it never made it to production.

Yes, you are right. I remember now you told me it was LSD. Still can't believe I had the 1 of 1 and let it go. Liked it a lot too. I can't remember what I replaced it with but probably another cab.
