Pace Car Camaro to 356 Speedster: BaT’s Wild Thursday

Pace Car Camaro to 356 Speedster: BaT's Wild Thursday

Thursday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided the greatest hits of automotive history, cracked open a cold one, and just started listing cars. We’ve got a genuine Indy Pace Car Camaro, a flat-six screamer from Stuttgart’s golden era, Italian thunder from Maranello, and even a Honda ATV thrown in for chaos. None of these have bids yet, which means the feeding frenzy is still ahead — buckle up.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z11 Pace Car Convertible

The Z11 was Chevy’s official Indy 500 Pace Car package for ’69, and a convertible wearing those stripes is the kind of thing that makes grown adults forget how to speak. These cars carry real provenance weight — the Pace Car Camaros are among the most collectible first-gens out there, full stop. If the body and numbers check out on this one, expect serious money to show up before the hammer drops. Bid on the 1969 Camaro Z11 Pace Car Convertible at Bring a Trailer.

6k-Mile 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Six thousand miles on a 991.2 GT3 RS is practically delivery mileage — someone bought this thing and apparently couldn’t bear to actually use it, which is a crime against driving but a gift to the next owner. The GT3 RS is Porsche’s naturally aspirated high-downforce weapon, and the 991.2 generation is already being spoken of in hushed tones as a modern classic. This one is going to get expensive in a hurry. Check out the 6k-mile 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS on Bring a Trailer.

11k-Mile 2009 Audi R8 Coupe 6-Speed

The first-gen R8 with a gated six-speed manual is the car that made the world realize Audi was capable of something truly special — and 11,000 miles means this one has been coddled like a museum piece. The open-gate shifter on these cars is a tactile experience that modern dual-clutch everything simply cannot replicate. At current market values, early manual R8s are climbing, and this low-mileage example will reflect that. See the 11k-mile 2009 Audi R8 6-Speed listing on Bring a Trailer.

18k-Mile 1993 Ferrari 512 TR

The 512 TR was Ferrari’s evolution of the legendary Testarossa, sharper and more composed while keeping all the wide-hipped drama that made the original an icon. Eighteen thousand miles puts this well into “actually driven” territory for a flat-12 Ferrari, which is honestly refreshing — these cars were made to be used. The 512 TR sits in a sweet spot of 1990s Ferrari collecting, not yet at the stratospheric prices of the F40 but climbing steadily. View the 18k-mile 1993 Ferrari 512 TR auction on Bring a Trailer.

1972 MG MGB Roadster at No Reserve

No reserve on an MGB is the auction equivalent of an open invitation — someone’s going home with this little British roadster no matter what, and that always makes for interesting bidding theater. The MGB is the quintessential affordable classic: charming, fixable in your driveway, and genuinely fun to hustle down a back road. If you’ve been waiting for an entry point into British sports car ownership, this might be your Thursday. Bid on the no-reserve 1972 MG MGB Roadster at Bring a Trailer.

6k-Mile 2009 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Coupe

Six thousand miles on a supercharged Shelby GT500 says this pony spent most of its life looking pretty rather than making tire smoke, which is equal parts frustrating and fortunate depending on your perspective. The S197-generation GT500 is aging into genuine collectibility — big power, aggressive styling, and a nameplate that carries serious cultural weight. Low-mile examples are getting harder to find in clean condition. Check out the 6k-mile 2009 Shelby GT500 listing on Bring a Trailer.

Fuel-Injected, Supercharged 427-Powered 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback 6-Speed by Classic Recreations

Classic Recreations out of Oklahoma has built a serious reputation for taking vintage Mustang fastbacks and turning them into high-horsepower resto-mods with genuine build quality, and a fuel-injected, supercharged 427 with a six-speed is exactly their kind of recipe. This is not a numbers-matching car and it doesn’t pretend to be — it’s a purpose-built driver that wants to be flogged. Whether that’s your thing or you’re a purist, you have to respect the craft. See the supercharged 427-powered 1968 Mustang Fastback by Classic Recreations on Bring a Trailer.

1958 Porsche 356A Speedster

A genuine 356A Speedster is one of the most evocative automobiles ever drawn by human hands — low, purposeful, and carrying the DNA of everything Porsche has built since. The Speedster body style was always the lightweight, stripped-down choice for drivers who wanted the pure experience, and the 356A represents a sweet spot in the model’s evolution. Authentic examples at auction are increasingly rare events; this one deserves serious attention from anyone playing in the vintage Porsche space. Explore the 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster auction on Bring a Trailer.

1995 Honda FourTrax TRX300EX at No Reserve

Look, not every Thursday listing is a six-figure exotic, and honestly that’s what keeps BaT interesting — right between a 356 Speedster and nothing sits a no-reserve 1995 Honda TRX300EX, which is either the most refreshingly honest segue in auction history or proof that the algorithm has a sense of humor. The TRX300EX was Honda’s sport ATV of choice for a generation of backyard rippers, and a clean survivor example is genuinely appealing to the right buyer. Sometimes the underdog listing is the most fun of the bunch. Bid on the no-reserve 1995 Honda FourTrax TRX300EX at Bring a Trailer.

That’s your Thursday auction board — a legitimate Indy Pace Car, two ultra-low-mile modern supercars, a flat-12 Ferrari, a barn-worthy MGB, and a 356 Speedster that might be the most significant car on the board. The bidding clocks are ticking; check back as these auctions heat up and the comment sections go to war.
