Singer 911, Ford GT & Amphicar: BaT’s Wildest Thursday

Singer 911, Ford GT & Amphicar: BaT's Wildest Thursday

Thursday on Bring a Trailer is serving up an absolute fever dream of a lineup — a Singer-built 911, a low-mile Ford GT, a Ferrari 308, a swimmy Amphicar, and even a car from the future in the form of a 2027 Corvette ZR1X. The bidding counters are all sitting at zero right now, which means the gates haven’t swung open yet and the real chaos is still incoming. Buckle up, because this is one of the more eclectic single-day slates I’ve seen on BaT in a long time.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe by Singer

Singer Vehicle Design takes already-great air-cooled 911s and turns them into something so obsessively perfect it borders on religious experience. A Carrera 2 coupe is already a landmark car — add Singer’s handiwork and you’re looking at a machine that routinely trades in the high six figures. No bids yet, but don’t let that fool you; when the hammer-hungry crowd finds this one, it’s going to move fast. Check out the Singer-built 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 on Bring a Trailer before it gets buried in bid notifications.

1979 Ferrari 308 GTB

The 308 GTB is the car that made a generation of kids plaster Ferrari posters on their bedroom walls — a genuine Pininfarina-sculpted masterpiece that looks just as jaw-dropping today as it did in 1979. The fiberglass-bodied early GTBs in particular have developed a serious following among collectors who know their Maranello history. Prices on clean examples have been climbing steadily, and a ’79 in good shape is no longer the “affordable Ferrari” it once was. Have a look at this 1979 Ferrari 308 GTB on BaT and prepare to feel things.

1962 Amphicar Model 770

Every auction needs its wild card, and today’s is a gloriously unhinged 1962 Amphicar Model 770 — simultaneously the worst boat you’ll ever drive and the worst car you’ll ever float. These West German amphibious oddities were built in small numbers and have become legitimate collector pieces precisely because they’re so absurd, so charming, and so completely impractical. The name “Model 770” refers to its top speeds: 7 mph on water, 70 mph on land — which should tell you everything about its priorities. Dive into the listing for this 1962 Amphicar Model 770 on Bring a Trailer and decide if your marina needs a parking space too.

8k-Mile 2005 Ford GT

Eight thousand miles on a 2005 Ford GT is practically a daily driver by GT standards — most of these things have been hermetically sealed in climate-controlled garages since the day they left the dealership. The Ford GT was America’s supercar redemption arc, a Le Mans centennial tribute that could genuinely embarrass exotic European machinery, and clean low-mileage examples have been appreciating like prime real estate. This is the one on today’s list that could genuinely surprise people on final price. Get the full details on this 8,000-mile 2005 Ford GT at Bring a Trailer while the bids are still at zero.

1974 BMW 2002 Turbo

The 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo was Europe’s first turbocharged production car — a snarling, wayward, genuinely dangerous little machine that BMW’s own engineers reportedly argued against building. The backwards “2002 turbo” script on the front spoiler was so aggressive that BMW actually toned it down after pressure over its intimidating effect on other drivers. Clean, correct examples are genuinely rare and seriously coveted by the Bavarian faithful. See this 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo on BaT — one of the most historically significant cars in the modern auction market.

1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 4-Speed

By 1968 Carroll Shelby’s influence on the GT350 was being diluted somewhat by Ford’s growing corporate grip on the program, but a real 4-speed car from that year is still a proper piece of American muscle history with the Shelby name on the flanks. The market for documented, numbers-correct first-gen Shelby Mustangs remains ferociously competitive — these aren’t just collector cars, they’re blue-chip artifacts. Follow the bidding on this 1968 Shelby Mustang GT350 4-Speed at Bring a Trailer if you’ve got deep pockets and a soft spot for Detroit iron.

1,100-Mile 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS

Eleven hundred miles on a 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS — someone actually drove this thing, which in the world of modern Ferrari flippers practically qualifies as an endurance rally. The 812 GTS is the open-top version of Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V12 swan song, a 789-horsepower screamer that represents the last gasp of the old-school front-engine Ferrari grand tourer formula before electrification changes everything. Near-new examples like this carry a significant premium over sticker because allocated Ferraris simply don’t grow on trees. Check out this 1,100-mile 2023 Ferrari 812 GTS on Bring a Trailer before the V12 purists descend on it.

2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Coupe 3LZ

A 2027 model year car on Bring a Trailer in October 2026 — that’s how hot the early allocation game has gotten, and the ZR1X is no ordinary Corvette. This is the range-topping variant of the C8 generation, a car that’s been generating serious buzz for its performance credentials and frankly alarming power output. Whoever snagged an early allocation and is already flipping it knows exactly what they’re doing. Watch this 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X Coupe 3LZ on BaT — this one could rewrite some expectations about what modern American supercars are worth at auction.

The Roger Hadfield Collection

A named collection sale is always an event — when BaT puts someone’s name in the title, there’s a story behind it worth reading, and usually a curated group of cars that reflects a lifetime of taste and passion rather than just a spreadsheet of assets. We don’t know the full contents yet, but collection sales on BaT routinely produce some of the most spirited bidding of the year as enthusiasts compete to own a piece of someone else’s carefully assembled automotive life’s work. Explore the Roger Hadfield Collection on Bring a Trailer — sometimes the best finds come from someone else’s obsession.

It’s a rare Thursday that gives you a Singer 911, a floating German oddity, a Ford GT, and a car that technically hasn’t been built yet — all on the same page. Whether you’re here to bid, to window shop, or just to feel something, today’s BaT slate delivers. Set your alerts, keep your paddle hand loose, and check back later today when these auctions start heating up for real.
