Thursday on Bring a Trailer is coming in absolutely swinging. We’ve got a genuine air-cooled Porsche holy grail, a prancing horse project with vintage Italian bones, a Ford GT that’s barely been breathed on, and a Coyote-swapped Bronco for the crowd that likes their classics with a little more grunt. Bidding clocks are just warming up across the board, so let’s dig in.
13k-Kilometer 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS
If you know, you know — the 964-generation Carrera RS is one of the most coveted air-cooled 911s ever built, a lightweight, focused, analog driving machine that the market has been chasing upward for years. Thirteen thousand kilometers means this one has essentially spent its life in a climate-controlled room being admired, which is both a blessing and a mild tragedy. Expect this to get loud when the auction heats up. Check out this 13k-kilometer 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS on Bring a Trailer before the bidders wake up.
1963 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Series III Project
The 250 GTE doesn’t get the headlines that its siblings the 250 GT SWB or 250 GTO grab, but it shares that glorious Colombo V12 architecture and is one of the most attainable ways into the 250 family — emphasis on “attainable” when it’s listed as a project. That word “project” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, so go in eyes open, but the upside on a sorted 250 GTE is enormous. Have a look at this 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 Series III project on Bring a Trailer and start budgeting for restoration.
32-Mile 2005 Ford GT
Thirty-two miles. On a 2005 Ford GT. Someone bought this centennial celebration supercar, sniffed the interior, and put it away — which means it’s emerged in essentially factory-fresh condition two decades later. The Ford GT market has been strong and these unmolested, low-mile examples are exactly what serious collectors chase. Don’t sleep on this 32-mile 2005 Ford GT on Bring a Trailer — numbers like that don’t come along often.
81-Mile 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic
The 911 Sport Classic is a limited-production, factory-built homage to the classic 911 look — ducktail spoiler, Fuchs-style wheels, manual gearbox — and Porsche charged accordingly. At 81 miles this one is functionally new, and given that the Sport Classic was oversubscribed from day one, the secondary market has been very kind to early sellers. See what this 81-mile 2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic on Bring a Trailer ends up fetching.
50k-Mile 2005 Jaguar XK8 Convertible
The XK8 is one of those cars that’s been criminally undervalued for years while the world obsessed over German metal — a gorgeous Geoff Lawson design wrapped around an AJ-V8, dripping with Brit charm. At 50,000 miles it’s squarely in “well-sorted daily driver” territory, and these are starting to attract the attention of collectors who missed the E-Type boat. This 50k-mile 2005 Jaguar XK8 Convertible on Bring a Trailer could be the best-value car in today’s lineup.
23k-Mile 2012 Ferrari California
The California was the entry-level Ferrari that hardcore tifosi loved to dismiss, but time has a funny way of rehabilitating reputations — it’s a front-engined V8 grand tourer with a folding hardtop, and it’s genuinely fun. Twenty-three thousand miles puts it in comfortable used-Ferrari territory where the big depreciation hit has already been absorbed by a previous owner. This 23k-mile 2012 Ferrari California on Bring a Trailer is worth a serious look for anyone wanting a usable Italian GT without a seven-figure anxiety attack.
16k-Mile 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe
The 992-generation 911 Turbo S is objectively one of the fastest, most capable cars ever built — the kind of machine that makes professional test drivers quietly impressed and has a habit of humiliating purpose-built supercars at the drag strip. Sixteen thousand miles means someone actually used it, which is the right call. This 16k-mile 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe on Bring a Trailer is modern-supercar performance at a used-car price point relative to new.
1974 Triumph TR6
The TR6 is the last of the proper traditional British roadsters — straight-six engine, independent rear suspension, and all the drafty, slightly-leaky character you could ask for. It’s a car that rewards drivers who enjoy the act of driving rather than the act of arriving, and they’ve been creeping up in value as the muscle-car crowd discovers them. See where this 1974 Triumph TR6 on Bring a Trailer lands — British roadster prices have been on the move.
Coyote-Powered 1975 Ford Bronco by Vintage Broncos
A first-gen Ford Bronco with a modern Coyote V8 dropped in by a builder like Vintage Broncos is the answer to the question: “What if the Bronco had always been this good?” The classic boxy silhouette paired with modern reliability and real power is a formula that’s been working extremely well at auction, and the Bronco market shows zero signs of cooling off. This Coyote-powered 1975 Ford Bronco by Vintage Broncos on Bring a Trailer is exactly the kind of restomod that stops the scroll and opens the wallet.
That’s a genuinely stacked Thursday — an RS, a 250, a 32-mile GT, and a Bronco that probably sounds incredible. Keep an eye on all of these as the bidding ramps up; the interesting numbers usually come in the final 24 hours. We’ll be watching.
