Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided three different garages, a dealership lot, and a Brazilian dune buggy museum all in one morning. We’ve got a four-figure-horsepower truck, a couple of no-reserve classics begging for a new home, and enough obscure iron to keep the comment section busy for a week. Bids are sitting at zero across the board right now — meaning the sharks haven’t circled yet — so let’s break down what’s worth your attention before things get spicy.
2024 Ford F-150 Raptor R SuperCrew 4×4 Hennessey VelociRaptoR 1000
The Raptor R is already a supercharged, desert-eating lunatic from the factory, and then Hennessey went and turned the dial to eleven. The VelociRaptoR 1000 package takes that 5.2L supercharged V8 and wrings it out to — as the name implies — four-digit output. These trucks command serious money even stock, so buckle up for what the final hammer brings on this one. Check out the Hennessey VelociRaptoR 1000 listing on Bring a Trailer and keep a close eye on that bid counter.
1968 Buick Riviera at No Reserve
The second-generation Riviera is one of the most genuinely gorgeous American cars ever drawn, full stop — Bill Mitchell’s studio knocked it clean out of the park with those fastback haunches and hidden headlights. The “no reserve” tag on a ’68 Riv means someone is serious about selling, and that should bring the bargain hunters out of the woodwork. Condition will be everything here, but even a project-grade example is worth a hard look at the right price. Don’t sleep on this no-reserve 1968 Buick Riviera auction — these are appreciating quietly and steadily.
5.3L Vortec–Powered 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer
The Grand Wagoneer is having a serious collector moment right now, with clean originals fetching real money and resto-modded examples going even higher. Swapping in a GM 5.3L Vortec is one of the most popular and reliable engine upgrades in the Wagoneer world — more power, better parts availability, and you’re not butchering a numbers-matching engine in the process. Whoever built this one knew what they were doing from a drivetrain standpoint. Head over and see what this Vortec-swapped 1989 Grand Wagoneer is going to cost you.
1971 BSA A65 Thunderbolt at No Reserve
BSA — Birmingham Small Arms — was one of Britain’s great motorcycle manufacturers right up until the early ’70s when the whole UK bike industry more or less imploded. The A65 Thunderbolt is a 650cc parallel twin with real old-school soul, the kind of machine that looks incredible parked outside a coffee shop and sounds even better doing it. No reserve means the market decides the price, which on a well-loved British twin could go anywhere. Twist your throttle hand over to this no-reserve 1971 BSA A65 Thunderbolt listing and see what a proper vintage Brit bike is worth today.
1981 MP Lafer at No Reserve
Okay, here’s today’s deep-cut curiosity: the MP Lafer was a Brazilian-built kit car that wore a very convincing MG TD-style body over a Volkswagen Beetle floorpan — air-cooled, rear-engined, and utterly charming in a “what even is this” sort of way. They were sold in Brazil from the ’70s through the ’80s and a small number found their way to the US, making them genuinely rare conversation pieces. No reserve sweetens the deal considerably for anyone who wants something that will stop people cold at every show. Go satisfy your curiosity about this no-reserve 1981 MP Lafer before someone else snaps up the weirdest listing of the week.
350-Powered 1950 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Sport Coupe Custom
The Styleline Deluxe Sport Coupe is peak postwar American design — low, swoopy, and dripping with that optimistic late-’40s chrome aesthetic. Dropping a small-block 350 under the hood is the classic hot-rod recipe for making it actually fun to drive in the modern world, and custom-built ’50s Chevys have a strong enthusiast following that keeps values healthy. The question, as always with customs, is in the execution and the details. Get your eyes on this 350-powered 1950 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe custom and decide if the builder’s vision matches yours.
29k-Mile 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Special Edition
The FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Special Edition was a limited-run package Toyota offered in the FJ’s final years, and low-mileage examples have been climbing steadily as the FJ cult grows larger and louder every year. Twenty-nine thousand miles on a 2013 is practically brand new for a truck this tough, and the Trail Teams trim adds desirable factory upgrades over a base FJ. These are the kind of trucks people buy and refuse to sell, which is exactly why you should pounce when one surfaces at auction. Don’t miss this 29k-mile 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser Trail Teams Special Edition before the off-road crowd figures out it’s here.
1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 at No Reserve
The 1980 Z28 sits in an interesting spot in the Camaro timeline — second-gen styling, but carrying the emissions-strangled small-block that defined the malaise era, which means it’s more about the looks and the nameplate than outright performance in stock form. That said, no-reserve third-gen transitions-era Z28s draw real interest from folks who grew up with posters of these on their bedroom walls, and clean examples are genuinely harder to find than you’d think. The no-reserve tag tells you the seller wants this gone. Get a look at this no-reserve 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 and judge the condition for yourself.
1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4×4 at No Reserve
The XJ Cherokee is one of those vehicles that gets more beloved with every passing year — lightweight, go-anywhere capable, and simple enough to wrench on in a driveway with basic tools. A 1989 Laredo in 4×4 trim is a proper example of the breed, and no-reserve pricing on an XJ usually means either a motivated seller or a car that’ll surprise you with how clean it is. The XJ community is passionate and the demand is real. Take a look at this no-reserve 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4×4 before the off-road faithful do.
That’s your Sunday spread on BaT — from a thousand-horsepower desert destroyer to a Brazilian VW-based curiosity that’ll have your neighbors Googling for twenty minutes. Bids are still wide open across the board, so today’s the day to watch, research, and maybe throw your hat in the ring before the serious money shows up later in the week.
