Monday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided five different garages, a movie prop warehouse, and a time capsule all at once. We’ve got one of the most historically significant air-cooled Porsches ever built sitting alongside a dead-stock Cherokee, a beck replica, and — I promise I’m not making this up — a stretched 1966 Mustang limousine. Buckle up, because today’s BaT slate is legitimately all over the map in the best possible way.
1957 Porsche 356A Carrera GS Sunroof Coupe
Stop whatever you’re doing. The Carrera GS is not your average 356 — this thing came from the factory with the exotic, high-revving four-cam Fuhrmann engine that was essentially a detuned race motor, and finding one with a sunroof is a genuine rarity. These cars define early Porsche performance mythology, and examples in any condition command serious, eye-watering attention. No bids yet, but don’t let that fool you — the comment section is about to wake up fast. Check out the 1957 Porsche 356A Carrera GS Sunroof Coupe on BaT before the feeding frenzy starts.
1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4×4 at No Reserve
The XJ Cherokee is having a full-blown cultural moment right now, and a no-reserve listing is basically an open invitation for the internet to go nuts. The ’91 Laredo trim was the sweet spot — nicer than a base Sport but still genuinely rugged — and these square-fendered XJs have quietly become blue-chip classics among the overlanding and off-road crowd. No reserve means it sells to whoever shows up, period. Follow the 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4×4 no-reserve auction and see where the chips fall.
Beck 550 Spyder Replica
Beck’s 550 Spyder replicas are widely considered the gold standard of the type — hand-built, fiberglass-bodied, and genuinely capturing the spirit of the original Porsche 550 without the seven-figure price tag. These aren’t kit cars in the pejorative sense; Beck has been doing this for decades and the craftsmanship shows. If you want the open-air, tail-out, canyon-carving experience of a 550 without selling a kidney, this is your lane. Have a look at the Beck 550 Spyder Replica listing on Bring a Trailer and judge the build quality for yourself.
3,200-Mile 2018 Lexus RC350 F Sport
Three thousand two hundred miles on an eight-year-old car is basically factory-fresh territory, and on the RC350 F Sport that’s a genuinely appealing proposition — the adaptive suspension, sport-tuned steering, and naturally aspirated V6 are all essentially untouched. The RC gets unfairly overlooked because Lexus doesn’t have the German badge cachet, but this is a sharp-looking, well-sorted sport coupe that will feel like it just rolled off a transporter. Scope out the 3,200-mile 2018 Lexus RC350 F Sport if you want something modern and barely broken in.
23k-Mile 2012 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab V6 4×4
Low-mileage pre-facelift Tacomas have become one of the most dependable money-in-the-bank propositions on the used truck market, and 23,000 miles on a 2012 Double Cab is the kind of number that makes truck guys do a double-take. The second-gen Taco’s V6 and 4×4 combo is essentially bulletproof, and examples this clean are genuinely getting harder to find. This one will attract serious attention from buyers who know exactly what they’re looking at. Don’t sleep on the 23k-mile 2012 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab V6 4×4.
Yesterday’s Comments of Note
BaT’s daily comments digest is required reading if you’re serious about this hobby — half the real market intelligence on these cars lives in the comment threads, not the listings themselves. Longtime BaT observers know that the peanut gallery includes genuine marque experts, past owners, and the occasional person who actually worked on the car in question. Catch up on yesterday’s BaT comments of note to see what the community was debating.
43k-Mile 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 at No Reserve
The R230 SL500 is one of those cars that feels like it should cost more than it does — a proper grand touring roadster with the folding hardtop, the silky M113 V8, and styling that still looks expensive two decades on. At no reserve with only 43,000 miles, this has the ingredients for a strong result assuming the ABC suspension and electronics are sorted. Buy-in price on these has been creeping back up as the R230 starts to get its collector due. Follow the 43k-mile 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 no-reserve auction and see if the market agrees.
Big-Block-Powered 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe
A big-block Chevelle is one of American muscle’s most enduring icons, and the 1970 model year is widely considered the pinnacle — the styling was at its aggressive best and the engine options were genuinely formidable. The Malibu Sport Coupe trim is the sweet spot for buyers who want the looks and power without necessarily paying the full SS tax. These cars have a devoted, passionate following and they bring it every time on BaT. Get the full details on the big-block 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe before bidding opens up.
289-Powered 1966 Ford Mustang Custom Limousine
I’ve seen a lot of things on Bring a Trailer, but a 289-powered 1966 Mustang stretched into a limousine is a first-ballot hall-of-fame entry in the “things that exist” category. Custom Mustang limos were built in small numbers back in the day for promotional and novelty use, and finding one that’s survived is genuinely unusual. Whether you’re buying this as a conversation piece, a parade vehicle, or the world’s most on-brand prom ride, there’s nothing else like it. Take a long look — literally — at the 289-powered 1966 Ford Mustang Custom Limousine and try not to smile.
That’s your Monday BaT rundown — a legitimate once-in-a-while Porsche Carrera at the top, a no-reserve Cherokee and SL500 fighting for the bargain hunters, and a stretched Mustang that exists purely to remind us why we love this hobby. Check back as bids start rolling in; today’s slate has upset potential written all over it.
