October is here, and Bring a Trailer is kicking off the month with what might be the most eclectic single-day lineup of 2026. We’re talking Italian V6 poetry, a genuine BMW homologation special, one of the most sought-after Shelby Mustangs ever built, and a nearly-unridden Honda superbike that probably has a better life than any of us. Grab your coffee — let’s dig in.
1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
The Dino is one of those cars that never stops being correct. Mid-mounted 2.4-liter V6, long hood, short tail, and a shape that Pininfarina basically nailed on the first try. Collectors have loved these for decades, and the market has consistently rewarded clean examples. This one is just getting started — check out the 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT on Bring a Trailer before the bidding heats up.
1973 BMW 3.0 CSL
The “Batmobile” — and if you know, you know. The CSL was BMW’s lightweight homologation special for European touring car racing, and genuine examples are increasingly rare and ferociously expensive. Aluminum doors, stripped interior, and that iconic aerodynamic kit make this one of the most important BMWs ever made. Don’t sleep on this 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL listing on Bring a Trailer — cars like this don’t show up every week.
1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR Convertible
KR stood for “King of the Road,” and in 1968 that wasn’t just marketing fluff — the Cobra Jet-powered GT500KR was a genuine muscle car monster. Finding one in convertible form cranks the desirability (and the value) up another notch, since droptop Shelbys have always commanded a premium over fastbacks. This is the kind of car that shows up at Scottsdale and makes the crowd go quiet. See the 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible on Bring a Trailer while you still can.
2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach
The 718 Spyder RS with the Weissach package is essentially Porsche’s swan song for the naturally aspirated flat-six mid-engine sports car — and the enthusiast community has absolutely noticed. These have been trading at or above MSRP since delivery, and a Weissach car in particular represents the lightest, most focused version of an already brilliant machine. Follow the 2024 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach auction on Bring a Trailer and prepare for sticker shock in the best possible way.
933-Mile 1994 Honda RVF750R RC45
Okay, yes, this is a motorcycle — but the RC45 earns its place in any serious collector conversation. Honda built the RVF750R to satisfy homologation rules for World Superbike racing, and fewer than 200 were officially imported to the U.S. At 933 miles, this one is essentially time-capsule fresh. View the 933-mile 1994 Honda RVF750R RC45 on Bring a Trailer — and yes, the bidding on this one is going to get very silly very fast.
327-Powered ’29 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan 5-Speed w/Tri-Power Intake
Hot rods don’t get much more classically American than this: a Model A body stuffed with a 327 small-block Chevy, fed through a tri-power intake, and rowing gears with a 5-speed. It’s the kind of build that old-school rod guys have been doing since the 1950s, and done right, they’re an absolute blast to drive. Check out the 327-powered 1929 Ford Model A Tudor Sedan on Bring a Trailer if you’ve got a soft spot for traditional hot rodding.
Original-Owner 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition
The SLS AMG was the last Mercedes with gullwing doors, and the Final Edition was exactly what it sounds like — the end of the line, with special badging and trim to mark the occasion. An original-owner car adds a layer of provenance that auction buyers genuinely pay for, and the SLS market has been quietly strengthening as the model slides further into collectible territory. See the original-owner 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition on Bring a Trailer — gullwings are forever.
2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake S
The XF Sportbrake S is one of those cars that exists in a weird, wonderful niche: a rear-wheel-drive-biased British sport wagon with a supercharged V6 that nobody bought new and everyone wishes they had now. It’s genuinely fast, genuinely practical, and genuinely undervalued. Browse the 2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake S listing on Bring a Trailer — smart money loves a car the market hasn’t figured out yet.
Custom 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe Two-Door Sedan
The Fleetline’s fastback roofline was ahead of its time in 1950, and it’s been a custom-car favorite ever since. There’s something deeply satisfying about a well-executed vintage Chevy custom — the proportions are just right, and a good builder can make one of these look like it rolled out of a dream. Take a look at the custom 1950 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe on Bring a Trailer and see what someone’s vision produced.
That’s your October 1st roundup — a genuinely stacked day on BaT. Whether your heart belongs to Italian sports cars, American muscle, German homologation specials, or a classic hot rod, there’s something here worth watching. Set your reminders, check those reserve statuses, and as always — bid with your head, not just your heart. We’ll see you back here tomorrow.
