Tuesday’s Bring a Trailer lineup is the kind of spread that makes you late for work — we’ve got a holy-grail Porsche with barely enough miles to warm the tires, a JDM Skyline slipping through the no-reserve door, a fire-breathing AMG Black Series, and somehow a classic XJ Cherokee sneaking into the conversation. Zero bids across the board as we go to press, which means the feeding frenzy is still ahead of us. Buckle up.
33k-Kilometer 1997 Nissan Skyline GTS25 5-Speed — No Reserve
The GT-R gets all the Instagram glory, but the 1997 Nissan Skyline GTS25 5-Speed at no reserve is the sleeper of this whole lineup. The GTS25 carries the RB25DE straight-six, a buttery-smooth inline-six with a loyal tuning community behind it, and at roughly 33,000 kilometers this one is barely broken in. No reserve means it goes to whoever shows up — and somebody always shows up for a low-mileage R33.
1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa G50
The G50 gearbox is the upgrade the 911 faithful had been waiting for through the 1980s — smoother, more precise, and a genuine joy to row through the gears. This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa with the G50 transmission pairs that drivetrain improvement with the open-air Targa experience, which is either your favorite thing about old 911s or a compromise you’ll happily live with on a sunny day. Late-’80s air-cooled Targas have been quietly climbing in the market, and G50 cars carry a premium for good reason.
2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC Wagon — No Reserve
Say what you want, but the W212 E-Class wagon is one of the great everyday driver arguments on the used market — practical, composed, and aging gracefully. The 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC Wagon at no reserve checks every box for someone who wants European wagon character without dropping exotic money. No reserve keeps it honest, and these tend to find their level fast when the BaT crowd smells a deal.
10k-Mile 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed
Ten thousand miles on a 996 Turbo is the automotive equivalent of finding a mint-condition vinyl record still in the shrink wrap. The 10k-mile 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 6-Speed represents the twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive 996 at its most potent, and the manual gearbox makes it the configuration every enthusiast actually wants. The 996 Turbo has long been considered the smart money in the air-cooled-adjacent crowd — expect serious bidding here.
3,300-Mile 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
This is the one. The 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 is widely regarded as one of the greatest driver’s cars Porsche has ever built — naturally aspirated, high-revving, and produced in limited numbers before the turbo era swept in. At just 3,300 miles, this 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is as close to unworn as you’ll ever find on the open market. Expect the number at the end of this auction to make your eyes water in the best possible way.
1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4×4 — No Reserve
The XJ Cherokee is having a full-blown cultural moment, and an honest no-reserve example like this 1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4×4 is exactly what the cult following has been hunting. These things are simple, capable, and charming in a way that modern crossovers will never replicate — a real ladder-frame, solid-axle icon that people are finally waking up to before prices run away entirely. No reserve is a gift; don’t sleep on it.
18k-Mile 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena
Eighteen thousand miles on a 360 Modena means someone actually drove it, which — honestly — is how Ferraris are supposed to be used. The 18k-mile 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena sits at the sweet spot where mileage is low enough to excite collectors but high enough to have been properly heat-cycled and sorted. The 360 has been appreciating steadily as the youngest generation of buyers locks in on entry-level Maranello iron — this is a smart corner of the Ferrari market right now.
2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series
The AMG GT Black Series is a barely street-legal weapon hand-built for people who find track days too relaxing. This 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series is the most extreme version of an already extreme car — flat-plane crank V8, massive aero, and a pedigree that includes a Nürburgring production-car lap record. These are already climbing in value and they are not going back down; if you have the means, the question is why you haven’t bid yet.
Supercharged 2005 Pontiac GTO 6-Speed — No Reserve
The LS-based GTO already has more power than most people know what to do with stock, so whoever bolted a supercharger onto this supercharged 2005 Pontiac GTO 6-Speed at no reserve was clearly not satisfied with “enough.” The GTO is one of the most undervalued American muscle cars of its era — real rear-wheel-drive, manual transmission, big V8 grunt — and the no-reserve tag means the market gets to decide what that’s worth today. My gut says it goes for less than it deserves, because it almost always does.
That’s today’s slate — a genuinely wild mix of JDM royalty, Stuttgart’s finest, Maranello iron, and American muscle with a blower on top. Bids are just waking up across the board, so check back this evening when the real wars start. We’ll be watching.
