After owning this unicorn '76 911S in Ice Green Metallic/Cork for a year, it's time to say goodbye. The journey with this 911S has been a labor of love and, while trying at times, it taught me a great deal about the importance of sorting a classic Porsche 911 correctly and getting the most out of the experience. In this video, I'll share with you a recap of what my ownership journey with one of my holy grail cars has been like along with what the next chapter for this car will be. I'll talk with you about the sorting process, my decision to offer the car for sale on Bring-A-Trailer...and what it was like to have the car miss reserve. 0:00 Start 0:22 What this video will cover 0:31 Footage of mechanical components before refurbishment 1:55 Recap of my ownership experience 2:04 Footage of Recaro Experts, 3.2 Motor 2:29 Bring A Trailer Results 2:41 Footage of repair documentation 2:53 Why I'm offering this 76 for sale 4:08 Reserve not met discussion 5:16 Feedback from last auction Here are some details on the car: My 1976 Porsche 911S coupe is a modified example powered by a replacement 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and it is finished in Ice Green Metallic over tan leather upholstery.

The Porsche 912: the largely ignored 911 look-alike that's been dismissed by air cooled Porsche fanboys for quite awhile. Until now. It's no secret the air cooled Porsche market has - like most of the Porsche market in general - gotten out of control price-wise. Many would-be enthusiasts have simply tapped out and quit their search due to unattainable prices for cars that used to be 50% of their current prices only 3 short years ago. Enter the Porsche 912, especially with a souped up motor. This 4-cylinder powered 911 lookalike has been a largely ignored by air cooled 911 snobs who have felt that unless a rear-engined classic Porsche has a flat six motor, the car just isn't for them. In this video, the owner of a Porsche 912 will take you through exactly why he loves his 912 along with his reasoning for jumping into one which - in his estimation - provides just as much of an emotional experience as an air cooled Porsche 911. 0:00 Start 0:48 Why no one cares about the 912 1:04 Why the 912 is actually interesting 1:57 912 as being "911-ish" 3:18 How Patrick found this 912 5:57 912 motor upgrade footage 6:13 912 POV 8:13 Porsche 912 Driving Review Get Your Air Cooled Merchandise: https://rennthusiast.myspreadshop.com/ Items I Use To Make These Videos Happen: Sony a7iii mirrorless camera: https://amzn.to/3JjPPUs DJI Drone: https://amzn.to/3WGmmqz GoPro Hero 10: https://amzn.to/3wvge9V Tentacle Sync Microphones KILLER mics: https://amzn.to/3HAARbq **************************************************************************** Porsche 911's I currently own or have owned: - 1969 Porsche 911T Hot Rod in Ossi Blue (sold) - 1976 Porsche 911S in Ice Green Metallic - 1977 Porsche 924 Martini Edition Safari Car - 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera in guards red (SOLD) - 1992 Porsche 911 964 in Amazon Green metallic (SOLD) - 1995 Porsche 911 993 Coupe in polar silver - 1995 Porsche 911 993 in Grand Prix White - 2007 Porsche 911 997.1 Turbo in guards red (SOLD) - 2009 Porsche 911 997.2 C4S PDK (SOLD) - 2014 Porsche Cayman S - 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 - 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder - 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S **************************************************************************** Please subscribe to my channel.

The cost of owning a 993 911 isn't cheap, especially right after you buy one, even if it's a nice example. In my experience you should set aside 10% - 20% of the purchase price of ANY air cooled Porsche for repairs, deferred maintenance and elective modifications...and hope you don't have to spend it! Thankfully, I'm well aware of the cost of owning a 993 and for me, the experience of owning, driving and ultimately enjoying the last of the air cooled 911's makes it totally worth it. In this video, I'll give you a full accounting of what's been spent on this Porsche 993 in the last 3,000 miles, including the repairs I had performed on the car along with what positive results I have realized as a result of doing this work. 0:00 Start 0:15 Porsche 993 exhaust sound 1:07 Background on this particular 993 1:26 Mods done to the 993 before I bought it 1:44 Identifying your ownership objective 2:28: Where I found my 993 3:11 Repairs the 993 needed right after I bought it 3:46 Porsche 993 interior - cashmere 3:47 History of this example 4:28 My previous 1995 Porsche 993 4:47 Continental head unit in a 993 5:07 Known flaws of this 993 5:32 Porsche 993 rear wall 6:43 Porsche 993 rear spoiler deployment 7:14 Porsche 993 repair costs 7:42 Final thoughts: cost of owning a 993 VISIT THE RENNTHUSIAST STORE FOR ALL OF YOUR PORSCHE 911 PRODUCTS!

Prices for a classic Porsche 911 hurts these days. BAD. But here's why it's worth it.

A Porsche 911 Turbo is a unicorn/dream car for so many. So why would I sell it 6 months after buying????
