It’s a Wednesday in August and Bring a Trailer is throwing everything at the wall today — a genuine SCCA race car, a brand-new McLaren hybrid supercar, a pair of Aston Martins, and enough blue-collar iron to keep the working man happy. Zero bids across the board right now, which means the feeding frenzy hasn’t started yet. Get your paddles ready and your coffee hot.
47k-Mile 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 at No Reserve
A no-reserve flag on a low-mileage GLS450 is the kind of thing that makes BaT regulars perk up like a dog hearing a bag of treats. The GLS450 is the sweet spot in the big Benz lineup — twin-turbo inline-six, three rows of genuine comfort, and enough tech to keep everyone in the family from complaining. With only 47,000 miles and no floor on the price, this one could be a serious deal or a serious bidding war by Thursday night. Keep an eye on this no-reserve 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 — it won’t stay quiet long.
1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe SCCA/Trans Am Race Car
Now we’re talking. A purpose-built ’65 Corvette race car with SCCA and Trans Am history is the kind of listing that makes you close your office door and stare at the screen for twenty minutes. These split-window-era Corvettes were absolute weapons on the amateur racing circuit, and a properly built example with documented race history is a collector’s golden ticket. This is not a Sunday cruiser — it’s a piece of American motorsport heritage. Go see what this 1965 Corvette SCCA/Trans Am race car has hiding in its logbooks.
2014 Ford F-150 XL at No Reserve
Sometimes the most practical listing on the page is the right answer. A no-reserve 2014 F-150 XL is the auction equivalent of a good sturdy tool — no frills, no games, and the price goes wherever the crowd takes it. The XL trim means fleet-spec simplicity, which often translates to less electronics to worry about and a truck that’s been maintained rather than babied. If you need a work truck without the dealership markup, this no-reserve 2014 Ford F-150 XL deserves a look.
2025 McLaren Artura
A brand-new Artura at auction is genuinely unusual — this plug-in hybrid supercar is still very much in active production, and seeing a 2025 model on BaT means somebody either upgraded already or simply couldn’t resist flipping. The Artura represents McLaren’s hybrid future, pairing a twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor for a powertrain that’s genuinely different from the brand’s traditional formula. Early Arturas had some well-publicized teething issues, so the comment section on this 2025 McLaren Artura is going to be very educational — read it before you bid.
2023 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Coupe
The DBS Superleggera is Aston Martin at full volume — 715 horsepower from a twin-turbo V12, bodywork that makes grown adults stop mid-sentence, and a grand touring personality that borders on antisocial. A 2023 example is barely broken in, and the DBS was already winding down production around this era, which gives it a certain last-of-the-V12 mystique that collectors will be thinking about. If you want to know what the ceiling looks like today, this 2023 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Coupe is your answer.
40k-Mile 1992 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1
The C4 ZR-1 — the “King of the Hill” — is having a serious collector moment right now, and a 40,000-mile example is exactly the kind of thing that fuels that fire. The LT5 V8 that Lotus helped engineer was a genuine shock to the European sports car establishment when it debuted, and these cars have only gotten more interesting with age. Forty thousand miles on a ZR-1 means it’s been driven but not abused, which is the sweet spot. This 40k-mile 1992 Corvette ZR-1 is the sleeper pick of the day.
2016 Aston Martin DB9 GT
The DB9 GT was Aston’s send-off for one of the most beautiful cars of the modern era — a final, upgraded goodbye to the platform before the DB11 took over. It’s got more power than the standard DB9 and a level of analog, naturally aspirated character that Aston has largely moved away from since. The DB9 GT is now sitting squarely in the “appreciating classic” conversation, especially in this final GT spec. This 2016 Aston Martin DB9 GT is the one you buy before everyone else catches on.
1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 3-Speed
There is no ceiling on what a clean FJ40 will bring at auction, and the market has proven that repeatedly over the last decade. The 1970 model year sits right in the sweet spot of FJ40 desirability — old enough to be properly vintage, built well enough to be genuinely capable, and wearing that boxy silhouette that designers are still trying to copy fifty years later. Whether this one is a driver or a restoration project will determine everything. This 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is going to attract a crowd.
1974 BMW R90/6 at No Reserve
Rounding out the day on two wheels, the R90/6 is a landmark motorcycle — the airhead boxer BMW that set the template for everything that came after it, and a genuine icon of 1970s German engineering. No reserve on a ’74 R90/6 means the market gets to speak freely, and the vintage BMW motorcycle crowd is passionate and well-funded. This is the kind of listing that gets forwarded around in group chats among people who wear tweed. This no-reserve 1974 BMW R90/6 is a nice curveball at the end of a stacked day.
It’s a deep lineup today — race cars, royalty-grade grand tourers, workhorse trucks, and a vintage motorcycle all sharing the same page. The no-reserve listings are the ones to watch first, because those prices move fast once the final hours hit. Check back Thursday evening when things get serious.
