Pagoda, Prancing Horse & a Viper: BaT’s Sep 14 Lineup

Pagoda, Prancing Horse & a Viper: BaT's Sep 14 Lineup

Monday mornings don’t usually hand you a 1966 Mercedes Pagoda, a Japanese-market Ferrari 360 Spider, and a low-mile Dodge Viper before your second cup of coffee, but here we are. Today’s Bring a Trailer slate is a genuine cross-section of everything that makes the collector car world worth obsessing over — old-world elegance, Italian drama, American brute force, and a few curveballs thrown in for good measure. Zero bids across the board right now, so the field is wide open and the bargain window is technically still cracked.

Original-Owner 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL 4-Speed

The W113 SL — the “Pagoda” — is one of those cars that never stops appreciating in every sense of the word: financially, aesthetically, emotionally. An original-owner example is a white whale. These cars spent decades as overlooked Euro roadsters before the market woke up and realized they were masterpieces, and single-owner provenance on a 60-year-old Stuttgart sports car is extraordinarily rare. Check out this original-owner 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL 4-Speed on Bring a Trailer and get your paddle ready before the serious money shows up.

One-Owner 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe

The 992 generation was right around the corner when this 991.2 GTS rolled out, which means today you get the sweeter, more analog end of the last naturally-aspirated-feeling 911 experience at a price that isn’t completely insane. One-owner cars always carry a confidence premium at auction, and the GTS trim — with its wider body, sport exhaust, and extra power over the base Carrera — is consistently the 911 buyers wish they’d bought instead. Browse this one-owner 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe on Bring a Trailer while it’s still sitting at zero bids.

Japanese-Market 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider

A Japanese-market Ferrari is a specific kind of collector catnip: meticulous ownership culture, low miles are common, and the paperwork trail tends to be immaculate. The 360 Spider is already having a serious market moment as the last of the naturally aspirated mid-engine Ferraris before the F430 arrived, and values have been climbing steadily. Dig into this Japanese-market 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider on Bring a Trailer — the JDM angle makes this one worth a very close look.

21k-Mile 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster

Twenty-one thousand miles on a Viper that’s now over two decades old is practically delivery-fresh by reptile standards — most of these lived hard and died young on back roads and dragstrips. The first-gen SRT-10 Roadster is the purest expression of the Viper ethos: no traction control, a side-exit exhaust that’ll rearrange your internal organs, and an 8.3-liter V10 that communicates exclusively in thunder. See this low-mileage 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster on Bring a Trailer before someone with excellent taste and a slightly reckless streak snaps it up.

41k-Mile Modified 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata 5-Speed

First-year NA Miatas are legitimately collectible now, and the “modified” designation here is the thing to parse carefully when bidding opens — tasteful mods can enhance a car, but on a collectible like this, originality is currency. Either way, a 1990 Miata with 41k miles is a survivorship miracle given how enthusiastically these were driven and autocrossed into the ground. Take a closer look at this modified 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata 5-Speed on Bring a Trailer and decide whether the modifications add character or subtract value.

16×6″ and 16×7″ Fuchs Wheels for Porsche 911 at No Reserve

Fuchs wheels are to the air-cooled 911 world what a good Gibson Les Paul is to blues guitar — iconic, instantly recognizable, and fiercely sought after. A no-reserve listing on a set of genuine Fuchs in two widths means the market will decide the price with zero seller interference, which is always entertaining. Grab these 16×6″ and 16×7″ Fuchs wheels for Porsche 911 at no reserve on Bring a Trailer if you’ve got a project car screaming for the right footwear.

1930 Ford Model A Fordor Sedan

The Model A Fordor is the kind of car your grandfather’s grandfather drove, and it hasn’t lost one ounce of charm in nearly a century. These flathead-era Fords have a massive, passionate community behind them, which keeps restoration parts flowing and values stable — not flashy money, but honest collector appreciation. Have a look at this 1930 Ford Model A Fordor Sedan on Bring a Trailer if pre-war American iron is your particular weakness.

1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 Roadster

The Big Healey is a car that rewards bravery: it’s big, it’s fast by 1950s standards, and it has a way of making every country road feel like a stage of the Mille Miglia. The BN2 is the second series of the original four-cylinder 100, featuring a four-speed gearbox with overdrive, and correct examples are increasingly hard to find in any condition, let alone sorted ones. Check out this 1956 Austin-Healey 100 BN2 Roadster on Bring a Trailer and imagine yourself doing exactly what it was built to do.

1956 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window Stepside Pickup

The “Big Window” Advance Design-era Chevy trucks are flat-out gorgeous, and the 3100 Stepside is the one everyone puts on their garage fantasy board. These trucks have been climbing in value for years as builders and collectors alike have figured out that the proportions are nearly perfect right from the factory. Don’t sleep on this 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window Stepside Pickup on Bring a Trailer — trucks like this have serious staying power in the collector market.

Nine listings, zero bids, and a genuinely ridiculous range of automotive history up for grabs — from a pre-war Ford to a modern GTS Porsche. Today’s BaT slate is one of those days that reminds you why you set the morning alarm. Keep an eye on the Pagoda and the 360 Spider in particular; those two won’t stay quiet for long.
