Nice car, thats a late '87 from looking at the rear window mounted third brake light.
'86 and early '87 cars that were actually assembled in late '86 have the goofy looking cyclops third brakelight mounted on the rear lid that could be used for an intercooler water spray nozzle mount.
You can see the manufacture date and VIN on the sticker in the driver door jam.

It may have the small strengthening gussets on the rear shock towers they started installing around the same time for the '88 models onward.

That looks like venetian blue metallic paint to me. That color was available in '87 and '88 and then again later on the 964 but it may have been a little diferent shade of blue then.
My '87 is the same color with linen color interior and if you look in the front trunk on the passenger side under the carpet just forward of the shock tower there should be a sticker with the paint code. 1987-88 venetian blue metallic paint code is L35U.
The blue changes a little under different light. In the shade or under clouds it is more grayish blue and under bright sunlight or camera flash it is a deeper blue but still a slate gray blue.
