Pull up a chair and crack something cold, because Bring a Trailer is serving up an absolute murder’s row of iron today — August 21, 2026. We’re talking air-cooled Porsche royalty, a brand-new GT3 Touring in a color that sounds like a German spa treatment, an honest-to-God 1918 fire truck, and the second Boss 302 ever built. Zero bids across the board as the day kicks off, which means the sharks haven’t started circling yet. Get in early, do your homework, and maybe set a budget you’ll definitely blow.
9k-Mile 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo
Nine thousand miles on a 993 Turbo. Let that sink in. The 993-generation 911 Turbo is widely considered the last great air-cooled Porsche performance flagship, and low-mileage examples have been climbing in value like they’ve got somewhere to be. This thing is essentially a time capsule with a whale tail, and the BaT crowd knows it. Bid on this 9k-mile 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo before the serious collectors wake up.
Meissen Blue 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Lightweight 6-Speed
A brand-new GT3 Touring at auction is unusual enough, but spec this thing out: Meissen Blue paint, the Lightweight package, and a proper six-speed manual — someone ordered this car like they had a direct line to Weissach. The GT3 Touring is already the purist’s GT3, all the focused chassis and naturally aspirated flat-six brilliance with none of the wing, and the Lightweight package sharpens the pencil even further. This is a genuine unicorn for someone who doesn’t want to wait on a dealer allocation. Check out this Meissen Blue 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Lightweight while there’s still no reserve war to fight through.
1968 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback 4-Speed
Carroll Shelby’s fingerprints on a ’68 fastback Mustang with a four-speed — this is the kind of listing that makes grown adults rearrange their finances on a Friday. The GT350 wasn’t just a prettier Mustang; it was a proper performance machine built to separate the drivers from the posers. Auction fever hits hard on first-gen Shelbys, and for good reason. Place your bid on this 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 Fastback and try not to think about what it’ll hammer for.
1960 Triumph TR3A
The TR3A is the quintessential British roadster — slab-sided, chrome-laden, and absolutely charming in a way that modern sports cars simply can’t replicate. These things were built to be driven with the top down and a scarf trailing behind you, and a ’60 puts you right at the sweet spot of the model’s production run. Values on solid TR3As have been quietly ticking upward as a younger generation discovers analog driving thrills. See the full listing for this 1960 Triumph TR3A and see if the bidding reflects that momentum.
3,800-Mile 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S 7-Speed
The V12 Vantage S is one of the last, greatest expressions of Aston Martin cramming an enormous naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder engine into a compact sports car body — and 3,800 miles means whoever bought this barely let it breathe. The Sportshift III automated manual transmission in the S was divisive when new, but the V12 soundtrack it delivers is anything but. Low-mileage Aston exotics at auction are a long game play, and this one looks like a strong hand. Explore this 3,800-mile 2017 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S before the supercar crowd arrives.
877-Mile 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 #0002
Unit number two. As in, the second Boss 302 built for the 2012 model year. Production sequence numbers this low are catnip for Mustang collectors, and 877 miles confirms this car has been treated more like a museum piece than a machine — which, honestly, is the correct call here. The reborn Boss 302 was a legitimate performance Mustang that earned its stripes at the track, and the earliest-build examples carry serious bragging rights. Bid on the 877-mile 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 #0002 and own a genuine piece of Mustang lore.
1918 Ahrens-Fox M-K-4 Fire Truck
I don’t care what you came here looking for — you need to stop and appreciate that there is a 108-year-old fire truck on BaT today. Ahrens-Fox was the Rolls-Royce of American fire apparatus, and their brass-era machines are genuinely rare, genuinely beautiful, and genuinely impractical in the best possible way. This is the kind of lot that ends up in a private collection or a very well-funded fire museum, and it will absolutely own any car show it rolls into. Don’t miss this 1918 Ahrens-Fox M-K-4 Fire Truck — when’s the next time you’ll see one of these?
1953 Chevrolet Corvette
First-year Corvettes are American automotive royalty, full stop. The 1953 model was produced in tiny numbers, hand-assembled in Flint, and represented GM’s answer to the European sports car movement sweeping through American garages. These fiberglass-bodied icons have held collector interest for decades and aren’t giving it back anytime soon. See the full details on this 1953 Chevrolet Corvette and respect the history before you bid.
36k-Mile 2000 BMW M Roadster at No Reserve
The no-reserve tag on a 36,000-mile M Roadster is going to get attention — these S52-powered little monsters have been appreciating steadily as the E36/7 generation finds its collector audience. The M Roadster was a genuine driver’s car that got overlooked when new because BMW didn’t quite know how to sell a roadster with a straight-six and an M badge, but the market has corrected that mistake. No reserve means someone is walking away with this one regardless of where the chips fall. Jump on this no-reserve 2000 BMW M Roadster before the final-hour frenzy begins.
That’s the lineup for August 21, 2026 — an almost absurdly good spread from a century-old fire truck to a brand-new GT3 Touring. Whether your passion is pre-war apparatus, air-cooled Porsches, or low-mile American muscle, BaT is delivering today. Set your alerts, do your research, and remember: the regret of not bidding lasts longer than the regret of paying a little too much for something you actually love.
