Sunday on Bring a Trailer and somebody decided to dump the entire dream-garage wish list onto the block at once. We’ve got a fuel-injected Corvette, two Ferraris, a McLaren, a couple of Porsches, an SLS AMG, a drag-strip-ready Cobra Jet, and a modified M3 — all fresh with zero bids and zero comments, meaning the feeding frenzy hasn’t started yet. Get in early, do your homework, and maybe — just maybe — you’ll snipe something before the keyboard warriors wake up.
S/T-Style, 3.5L-Powered 1972 Porsche 911T Coupe 5-Speed
A 1972 911T already pushes every right button for the air-cooled faithful, but the S/T-style bodywork and that bigger 3.5-liter engine turn this thing into a proper wolf in vintage clothing. Early long-hood 911s have been money for years and show no signs of cooling off. Whether it’s a restmod or a period-correct build, the combo of classic looks and upgraded grunt is catnip for the Porsche crowd. Keep a close eye on this restomod 1972 Porsche 911T coupe on BaT — it won’t stay quiet for long.
11k-Mile 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Eleven thousand miles on an SLS AMG is practically delivery-mileage territory for a car that’s over a decade old — someone clearly bought it and then immediately lost their nerve, or their garage space, or both. The gullwing SLS was Mercedes’ love letter to the original 300SL, and the hand-built AMG 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 behind the front axle is one of the last great screaming NA engines from Stuttgart. Values on clean, low-mile examples have been climbing steadily. This 11,000-mile 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is the kind of listing that makes the comment section explode by Tuesday.
Euro 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello
The 550 Maranello was Ferrari’s triumphant return to the front-engined V12 GT formula, and the Euro-spec cars carry a certain mystique — different lighting, different tuning nuances, and the knowledge that this car saw the Continent before it saw you. The 550 has aged into a genuine classic without going completely out of reach, though “without going out of reach” is relative when we’re talking about a V12 Ferrari. This Euro-market 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello is exactly the sort of analog grand tourer that the modern supercar crowd is quietly buying up.
26k-Mile, Modified 2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition
The E92 M3 Lime Rock Park Edition was a limited run celebrating BMW’s relationship with the Connecticut road course, and they came with some factory goodies to justify the badge. At 26,000 miles it’s been driven — which is exactly how an M3 should be — but “modified” is the word that’s going to split the comment section right down the middle. Purists will clutch their pearls; enthusiasts will want to know every single part number. This modified 2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition is going to be a spirited auction no matter which camp wins out.
1964 Chevrolet Corvette L84 327/375 Fuelie 4-Speed
The L84 fuel-injected 327 with 375 horses is the holy grail of mid-year Corvette engines — Chevy called the injection system “Fuelie” and collectors have been calling it desirable ever since. A matching-numbers fuelie from 1964 is the kind of car that makes serious Corvette people set calendar reminders and stay off the phone at the dinner table. These cars have real, documented collector value and a passionate following that doesn’t flinch at strong prices. This 1964 Corvette L84 Fuelie 4-speed on Bring a Trailer is the red-blooded American centerpiece of today’s lineup.
2012 McLaren MP4-12C
The MP4-12C was McLaren’s first real road car built from scratch in the modern era, and it had to carry the entire weight of the brand’s road-car reputation on its carbon tub. Critics at the time said it was brilliant but clinical — the kind of car that’s faster than everything yet somehow makes you feel like an engineer rather than a driver. Time has been kind to the 12C though, and values have found a floor that makes entry into the McLaren club more accessible than it’s been in years. This 2012 McLaren MP4-12C is worth a hard look if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to go carbon-fiber British.
25k-Mile 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena
The 360 Modena was the car that dragged Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 lineup fully into the modern age — aluminum chassis, modern aerodynamics, and that spine-tingling 3.6-liter screamer sitting right behind your ears. At 25,000 miles this one has been enjoyed but not abused, which is the sweet spot for a car you actually want to drive. 360s have been appreciating as the 90s-and-2000s Ferrari market heats up, and a clean, relatively low-mile example is exactly what the market rewards. This 25,000-mile 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena will test whether buyers want to use it or preserve it.
Mint Green 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe
A brand-new 992-generation 911 on BaT is always an interesting data point — someone either optioned this thing into the stratosphere and is flipping an allocation, or life simply had other plans. Mint green on a 911 is a polarizing color choice that will either make you stop scrolling or scroll faster, and the BaT crowd tends to reward interesting color combinations handsomely. The 992 Carrera is simply one of the best all-around sports cars on the planet right now, new or used. This Mint Green 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is as fresh as it gets on the auction block.
2018 Ford Performance 50th Anniversary Mustang Cobra Jet at No Reserve
The Cobra Jet is not a street car — it’s a factory-built, NHRA-legal drag racing machine wearing a Mustang suit, and Ford only built a limited run of these 50th Anniversary editions to celebrate a half-century of going very fast in a straight line. No reserve means this one sells to whoever shows up, which is exactly the kind of pressure that makes auction finales worth watching. If you’ve got a trailer, an NHRA membership, and a need for elapsed time, this is your Friday night. This no-reserve 2018 Ford Cobra Jet 50th Anniversary Mustang is the wild card of the day, and it deserves to find an owner who will actually run it.
Nine auctions, zero bids, and enough horsepower, history, and horsepower-to-history ratio to keep the BaT comment section busy for days. Whether your heart lives in Maranello, Stuttgart, or at the drag strip, today’s board has something to fight over. Set your alerts, sharpen your paddle fingers, and remember: the auction doesn’t care how long you’ve been watching.
