Pista, Diablo VT, and a VW Camper Walk Into BaT

Wednesday on Bring a Trailer is serving up a genuinely wild spread today — we’re talking Italian supercar royalty, a last-of-the-line Lamborghini at no reserve, a hippie-era VW camper, a bare-bones Corvette chassis, and a Toyota van that absolutely nobody asked for but everybody secretly wants. Bidding activity is still early and quiet across the board, which means the snipers are lurking and the real action is coming. Buckle up.

2019 Ferrari 488 Pista

The 488 Pista is the hardcore, track-focused distillation of an already brilliant mid-engine Ferrari — lighter, more aggressive, and wearing aero that means business. These have been creeping up in collector value as the 488 generation matures, and a Pista in particular attracts serious buyers who actually want to use what they’re paying for. Bidding hasn’t opened yet, so now is your chance to get your paddle ready before the sharks show up. Check out this 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista on Bring a Trailer before the crowd piles in.

Euro 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 at No Reserve

The Diablo VT 6.0 was essentially Lamborghini’s farewell letter to the Diablo era — refined, brutish, and utterly magnificent in that uniquely Sant’Agata way. A Euro-spec example adds a layer of intrigue since these weren’t intended for the American market and have their own distinct provenance. The no-reserve tag on a car like this is the kind of thing that makes grown adults cancel their afternoon meetings. Don’t miss this Euro 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 at no reserve — it could be the steal of the year or a bidding war for the ages.

1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper

The air-cooled VW Bus never goes out of style, and a Riviera-converted camper from 1978 is the kind of thing that gets people misty-eyed at the same time they’re trying to figure out if it’ll make it to their driveway. The Riviera conversion packages were well-regarded pop-top setups, and a late Bay Window example has real appeal to the vanlife crowd and the vintage VW faithful alike. Zero bids so far means the opening gavel is wide open. Take a look at this 1978 Volkswagen Type 2 Riviera Camper and start daydreaming about the Pacific Coast Highway.

15k-Mile 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello at No Reserve

Fifteen thousand miles on a 575M Maranello is essentially new — this is the grand touring Ferrari that could eat continents for breakfast while looking absolutely gorgeous doing it. The 575M is the kind of front-engine V12 Ferrari that ages like fine wine, and low-mileage examples at no reserve don’t come around often enough. This one should attract collectors who understand that the big Maranellos are quietly becoming the smart money in the Ferrari world right now. Have a closer look at this 15k-mile 2002 Ferrari 575M Maranello at no reserve before someone else’s wire transfer beats yours.

1995 Toyota HiAce Van Super Custom Limited Turbodiesel 4WD at No Reserve

I’ll be honest — a 1995 Toyota HiAce Super Custom Limited Turbodiesel 4WD is one of the most absurdly compelling sentences I’ve read all week. These Japanese-market HiAce vans are the JDM overlanding secret weapon: bulletproof turbodiesel, proper four-wheel drive, and a van body that’s surprisingly capable in the backcountry. The no-reserve format on a quirky import like this is catnip for the adventure-van crowd.

1967 Ford F-250 Ranger Camper Special at No Reserve

A ’67 F-250 Ranger Camper Special is the kind of truck that your grandfather would have driven cross-country with a slide-in camper and zero complaints.
