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.
