One of our local PCA members showed up with his new Gulf Blue Ruf Turbo at our recent DE. This one beautiful car.

Well, that color is one of personal taste, but I've never seen "Gulf Blue". Is that a Porsche or RUF color? Those are German tags, they have some pretty far-out color combos over there.

Fluke996,

Gulf blue is a color having a rich place is Porsche's fabled racing history. First introduced in `69 on the 917, the Gulf Oil (their colors were light blue and orange, hence gulf blue/gulf orange) sponsored Porsche went on to dominate the racing scene in `70 and `71.




In 1972, Porsche began offering Gulf Blue and Gulf Orange as special order colors for 911's through 1974. The owner of this car owned a Gulf Blue early `70's 911. Must be kinda like the color of your first intimate girlfriend's eyes kinda thing.

I like the Gulf Blue/Orange combo. Gulf Blue alone seems blaaah. On the other hand, being a Ruf Turbo makes up for any blaah color!
