Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided a very tasteful storage unit: a pair of Ferraris from the golden V8 era, a long-owned 993 Turbo, a C7.R-edition Corvette with barely enough miles to warm up its tires, and a handful of classics and oddballs rounding things out. Bidding hasn’t kicked off yet on any of these — which means right now is exactly the moment to get your paddle ready and your budget in denial. Let’s run through what’s worth watching.
26k-Kilometer 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider
Roughly 16,000 miles on a mid-2000s Ferrari Spider that looks to have spent its life being treasured rather than tracked — that’s the dream scenario for F430 buyers. The F430 Spider is arguably the last truly raw, analog Ferrari convertible before the twin-turbo era swept in and changed everything, and low-kilometer examples are getting harder to find in clean condition. Keep an eye on this 26k-kilometer F430 Spider as bidding opens — the market for these has been quietly climbing.
24-Years-Owned 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo
Twenty-four years with one owner is not a typo — that’s a keeper, full stop. The 993-generation 911 Turbo is widely considered one of the greatest all-around performance cars ever built, with that twin-turbocharged flat-six and the last air-cooled Turbo body Porsche ever made. Single-owner 993 Turbos with documented history command serious money and for good reason. Watch this 24-years-owned 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo closely — provenance like this doesn’t show up every week.
Boss 302-Look 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof 5-Speed
A fastback first-gen Mustang with a five-speed manual and Boss 302 styling cues is the kind of car that makes you pull over and stare. The SportsRoof body is the one everyone actually wants — those long, sweeping rooflines aged like a fine bourbon — and a five-speed swap makes it genuinely usable on modern roads without destroying collector value the way a slush box would. Whether the drivetrain is numbers-matching or built for fun is something bidders will surely dig into, so get over to this Boss 302-look 1970 Mustang SportsRoof and read the fine print.
73k-Kilometer 1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-Speed
The F355 Berlinetta with a proper six-speed gated manual might be the most sonically intoxicating car Ferrari ever bolted together, full stop — that flat-plane V8 at full chat is basically automotive religion. At 73,000 kilometers this one has actually been driven, which is honestly refreshing, and a well-maintained high-mileage F355 can be a smarter buy than a garage queen with unknown fluids and seals. Gate-shift your way over to this 1996 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-Speed and see where the bidding lands.
1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
The 190SL gets dismissed by horsepower chasers who compare it to its 300SL stablemate, but that’s missing the point entirely — this is a beautifully proportioned, elegantly simple roadster that has aged into one of the most desirable entry points in the classic Mercedes world. A genuine 1962 example is pushing 64 years old, so condition and restoration quality will be everything here. Collectors who appreciate continental style over outright performance should be watching this 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL very carefully.
1,400-Mile 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe C7.R Edition
Fourteen hundred miles. On a supercharged 650-horsepower Z06. In a Le Mans racing livery edition. Someone bought this car and then apparently put it in a climate-controlled room and stared at it for a decade, and honestly, respect. The C7.R Edition was a limited homage to Corvette Racing’s championship-winning program, and at these miles it’s basically a time capsule of one of the most ferocious factory Corvettes ever built. If you want a modern muscle-era collectible that might actually appreciate, this 1,400-mile C7.R Edition Z06 deserves a very hard look.
2005 Audi S4 6-Speed at No Reserve
The B6 S4 with the 4.2-liter V8 and a six-speed manual is one of those cars that the enthusiast community has been quietly canonizing for years — it sounds incredible, it’s genuinely quick, and the manual gearbox makes it far rarer than the tiptronic cars. No Reserve means this one sells to the highest bidder regardless of price, which is either a great opportunity or a reason for the seller to be nervous. Tune into this no-reserve 2005 Audi S4 6-Speed to see if the BaT crowd recognizes a bargain.
24k-Mile 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS
The 997.2-generation Carrera 4 GTS sits in a sweet spot that a lot of buyers overlook — more power and wider body than the standard Carrera 4, all-wheel drive for year-round usability, and 24,000 miles means it’s been used just enough to prove everything works but not enough to scare anyone away. The GTS models have been on a steady appreciation run as buyers recognize how well-rounded they are. Low-mile examples like this 24k-mile 997 Carrera 4 GTS don’t come up constantly, so pay attention.
Original-Owner 2002 Ford Thunderbird at No Reserve
The retro-revival Thunderbird had a complicated reputation when new — gorgeous to look at, a little soft to drive — but original-owner, no-reserve examples are exactly the kind of thing BaT’s audience loves to argue about in the comments. Single-ownership cars with documented history tend to sell cleanly, and the no-reserve format removes any standoff with a seller who has unrealistic expectations. Whether you’re a Thunderbird true believer or just looking for an affordable weekend cruiser with style, this original-owner 2002 Ford Thunderbird is worth a few minutes of your day.
Nine cars, zero bids, and a whole lot of potential — today’s BaT slate has something for nearly every flavor of enthusiast, from Italian V8 fever dreams to domestic muscle to timeless German classics. Check back throughout the week as the bidding heats up, and as always, do your due diligence before you raise that virtual paddle.
