Ford GT, Tatra T87, and a ZR1: BaT’s Monday Madness

Ford GT, Tatra T87, and a ZR1: BaT's Monday Madness

Monday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like somebody raided the world’s greatest private collections and a few very brave garages. We’ve got an ultra-low-mile American supercar icon, a Czech aerodynamic marvel most people have only seen in a museum, a brand-new Corvette already flipping hands, and enough Porsche content to keep the Stuttgart faithful arguing in the comments for days. Bids are still at zero across the board — meaning right now, everything is technically free. Get in there.

554-Mile 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

Five hundred and fifty-four miles. That’s basically still wearing the factory smell. The Heritage Edition pays tribute to the GT40’s legendary Le Mans livery, and these cars have been on a one-way rocket ship to the moon value-wise since the day Ford pulled the plug on production. Low-mile examples like this one are genuinely rare — most Heritage cars got driven at least a little, because come on, it’s a Ford GT. Bid on this 554-mile Ford GT Heritage Edition before the collectors wake up and this thing goes full stratosphere.

1976 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera

The original widowmaker. The 930 Turbo Carrera was Porsche’s first turbocharged production car and it came with all the lag, lift-off oversteer terror, and brutish charisma that legend demands. A ’76 is an early-production example, back when the turbo era was brand new and before Porsche had a decade of refinement under its belt. These have climbed steadily in value as the air-cooled faithful keep the faith — and then some. Check out this 1976 Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera on BaT and try not to hear that flat-six spool up in your head.

1948 Tatra T87

Now we’re talking. The Tatra T87 is one of the most aerodynamically ahead-of-its-time cars ever built — a rear-engine, air-cooled V8-powered Czech touring car that looked like it arrived from 1965 while the rest of the world was still building boxes. Ferdinand Porsche himself reportedly studied the T87, and the design influence on his later work is pretty hard to ignore. Finding one of these in any condition is an event; finding one at auction is a genuine occasion. Don’t miss this extraordinary 1948 Tatra T87 listing — this is the kind of car that makes BaT worth refreshing every morning.

2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3LZ

The ink on the window sticker is barely dry and already someone’s flipping a 2026 Corvette ZR1 Convertible. To be fair, the ZR1 nameplate returning with a twin-turbocharged flat-plane-crank V8 producing numbers that embarrass supercars costing three times as much is absolutely the kind of thing that creates instant collector demand. The 3LZ is the top trim, so this is as loaded as it gets. See the full listing for this 2026 Corvette ZR1 Convertible 3LZ and decide whether you want to pay over sticker now or cry about it later.

Twin-Plug 3.8L-Powered 1970 Porsche 911T Coupe 5-Speed

A 1970 long-hood 911T is already a beautiful thing, but when you add a twin-plug 3.8-liter engine and a 5-speed gearbox, you’re building something that drives like a dream while still looking period correct from the outside. Twin-plug ignition on an air-cooled Porsche means better combustion efficiency and a crisper throttle response — it’s a modification that genuinely improves the driving experience rather than just adding complexity for its own sake. Early 911s have held their value ferociously and this one sounds like it’s been built to be used. Explore this twin-plug 1970 Porsche 911T Coupe on Bring a Trailer and start figuring out what you’re willing to spend.

Modified 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Coupe 6-Speed

First-gen Camaro SS, modified, with a 6-speed manual — somebody built their dream car and now you can fight them for it. The ’68 Camaro is one of the most beloved muscle car shapes of all time, and when you swap in a modern 6-speed you get to enjoy that classic styling without sacrificing your left knee at every stoplight. The word “modified” covers a lot of ground and the details will be in the listing, but the bones of a first-gen SS are always a great starting point. Get the full story on this modified 1968 Camaro SS Coupe before the muscle car crowd cleans it up.

34k-Mile 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

The 991.1 Carrera S is one of those cars that was slightly underappreciated when new — people were still mourning the end of the air-cooled era — and is now being quietly recognized as a genuinely great driver’s car in its own right. Thirty-four thousand miles is a real-world driven example, not a garage queen, and that’s actually a good thing: it means the fluids have been moving and the seals have been happy. Cabriolet versions of the 991 have strong curb appeal and the direct-injection 3.8 flat-six in this generation is a strong, willing engine. Check out this 34k-mile 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet if you want a modern classic with room to breathe.

Slicktop 2006 BMW M3 Competition Package Coupe 6-Speed at No Reserve

No reserve on a slicktop E46 M3 Competition Package with a 6-speed — that’s the auction equivalent of throwing chum in the water. The “slicktop” designation means no sunroof, which saves weight and lowers the center of gravity, making it the purist’s choice among E46 M3 variants. The Competition Package added stiffer suspension and those gorgeous 19-inch wheels, and the naturally aspirated S54 inline-six is still one of the finest engines BMW ever produced, full stop. Bid now on this no-reserve slicktop 2006 BMW M3 Competition Package Coupe — no reserve means this one is going home with somebody regardless of price.

Fuel-Injected, 427-Powered 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof 5-Speed

A 1970 Mustang SportsRoof with a 427 cubic inch engine running fuel injection and a 5-speed gearbox is the kind of restomod recipe that makes muscle car purists uncomfortable and everyone else extremely excited. The SportsRoof fastback body style is the most aggressive-looking first-gen pony car silhouette, and pairing it with a big-block 427 means you’re not building this one for fuel economy. Fuel injection on a classic application like this means reliable cold starts and proper tuning without the drama of a carb — very livable. See the full listing for this 427-powered 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof and decide if this is your kind of statement.

That’s your Monday card on Bring a Trailer — from a museum-piece Czech aerodynamics lesson to a brand-new American supercar looking for its second owner before the first one has even broken it in. Something for every obsession and every budget (well, mostly budgets with a lot of zeros). Keep an eye on that Ford GT and the no-reserve M3 especially — those tend to move fast once the serious bidders arrive. Check back tomorrow for updates and, as always, bid smart.
