Saturday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided the coolest barn in the country, made a pit stop at an overlanding convention, and then found a couple of tiny Hondas hiding under a tarp in the corner. We’ve got diesel Land Cruisers, a full-blown EarthRoamer expedition rig, a genuine 1950s American convertible, and not one but two vintage Honda mini-bikes at no reserve. Zero bids across the board right now, which means the early birds haven’t woken up yet — or everyone’s still doing a double-take at the EarthRoamer price tag. Either way, let’s dig in.
1981 Honda C70 Passport at No Reserve
The little Honda that refuses to die. The C70 Passport is one of those bikes that outlasted empires — reliable, dead-simple, and suddenly very collectible now that nostalgia has caught up with the step-through crowd. No reserve means it sells no matter what, which is always a recipe for an interesting auction morning. Check out the 1981 Honda C70 Passport on Bring a Trailer before the bidders pile on.
One-Family-Owned 2014 Ford F-550 Super Duty 4×4 EarthRoamer XV-LTS
This is the one that’s going to make your jaw drop and your bank account weep simultaneously. The EarthRoamer XV-LTS is essentially a luxury expedition vehicle built on a Super Duty platform — one-family ownership history makes it even more compelling for the overland crowd who wants to drive to the ends of the earth in climate-controlled comfort. These rigs command serious money new, and a single-owner example is genuinely rare. Do not sleep on the one-family-owned 2014 EarthRoamer XV-LTS on Bring a Trailer.
1971 Honda SL70 Motosport at No Reserve
A full decade older than the C70 above and wearing the dirtier, scrappier Motosport badge — the SL70 was Honda’s little dual-sport before anyone was really calling it that. At no reserve, a clean example of this era of small Honda trail bike can absolutely run away at auction if the right collectors show up. Go see the 1971 Honda SL70 Motosport listing on Bring a Trailer and check the condition shots carefully.
289-Powered 1968 International Harvester Scout 800 4×4 Travel-Top 4-Speed
A Ford 289 stuffed into a Scout 800 with a four-speed and a Travel-Top — that is a seriously fun configuration and one that the Scout faithful will absolutely recognize as a sweet spot. The Scout 800 market has been on a long, steady climb as the original American off-roader gets the appreciation it deserves, and a V8-swapped, four-wheel-drive example with a removable top is about as desirable as it gets. Don’t miss the 289-powered 1968 IH Scout 800 Travel-Top on Bring a Trailer.
1982 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel at No Reserve
The BJ40 — diesel-powered, no reserve — is the kind of listing that gets Land Cruiser people out of bed early on a Saturday. The diesel BJ40 is rarer and arguably more desirable than its gas counterparts for the serious overlanding community, offering that legendary Toyota durability with old-school mechanical simplicity. No reserve means this one goes to whoever wants it most. Get over to the 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel on Bring a Trailer right now.
1998 Chevrolet K1500 Silverado Extended Cab Z71 4×4 at No Reserve
The OBS Chevy truck market has gone absolutely sideways in the last few years, and a Z71 extended cab at no reserve is exactly the kind of listing that fuels that fire. Clean, unmodified examples of the 1988–1998 generation are getting harder to find every year as the resto-mod crowd gobbles them up. This could be a steal or a fight — either way, check out the 1998 Chevy K1500 Silverado Z71 4×4 on Bring a Trailer.
2001 BMW 740iL at No Reserve
The E38 7 Series is having its moment, full stop. What was once a used-car-lot liability is now being recognized as one of the most elegant BMWs ever penned, and the long-wheelbase 740iL at no reserve is about as close to grand-touring royalty as you can get for what will probably still be a reasonable number. Just budget for maintenance, because this is still a complexity-laden late-90s German flagship. See for yourself at the 2001 BMW 740iL no-reserve auction on Bring a Trailer.
2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Executive Limousine Conversion
The oddball of the day — a Metris-based executive limousine conversion is a genuinely niche vehicle that serves a very specific buyer: a small transportation company, a corporate shuttle operator, or someone who just really wants to arrive in low-key style without a full-size Sprinter. The Metris platform is solid and the Mercedes mechanicals are well-proven; it’s the conversion quality you’ll want to scrutinize. Take a look at the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris Executive Limousine Conversion on Bring a Trailer.
1956 Oldsmobile Starfire 98 Convertible
We close with the crown jewel of the day’s aesthetics: a mid-1950s Oldsmobile 98 convertible wearing the Starfire name, which means pillow-soft chrome excess at its absolute postwar American peak. These big Olds convertibles are legitimate show-stoppers and the 98 was the top of the range, so you’re getting maximum chrome, maximum fins, and maximum presence. End your Saturday scrolling the right way with the 1956 Oldsmobile Starfire 98 Convertible on Bring a Trailer.
A genuinely eclectic Saturday on BaT — from 50cc step-throughs to a diesel Land Cruiser to a 1950s chrome convertible, there’s something here for almost every flavor of enthusiast. Everything is sitting at zero bids as of this writing, so the day is wide open. Set your alerts, do your homework, and may the best bidder win.
