SLR McLaren Leads a Wild BaT Monday Lineup

SLR McLaren Leads a Wild BaT Monday Lineup

Happy Monday, gearheads — Bring a Trailer is kicking off the week with one of the most eclectic auction lineups we’ve seen in a while. We’ve got a genuine supercar sitting next to a 1934 hot rod, a pair of vintage work trucks, and a Japanese naked bike thrown in for good measure. Nobody ever said BaT lacked variety. Bidding hasn’t ignited yet on most of these, which means if you’re watching, now’s the time to get comfortable and have your paddle ready.

5k-Mile 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Stop everything. A 5,000-mile Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren just landed on BaT, and it’s the kind of car that makes you forget whatever else is on the page. The SLR was a genuine collaboration between Stuttgart and Woking — supercharged 5.4-liter AMG V8, gullwing doors, a carbon fiber tub, and enough drama to fill a Michael Mann film. At barely 5,000 miles, this one is essentially new-old-stock, which at current SLR values means the number at the end of this auction is going to be very, very large. Watch this one closely.

2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe 3LZ

The C8 Z06 is still one of the greatest performance bargains on the planet relative to what it can do on a racetrack, and the 2024 Corvette Z06 3LZ landing on BaT means someone is ready to move theirs. The flat-plane-crank 5.5-liter LT6 is a mechanical symphony, and the 3LZ trim means this car is loaded. With the C8 generation still fresh, auction prices can swing wildly — it’ll be interesting to see where bidders land on a lightly used example like this.

33k-Mile 1995 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

The C4 ZR-1 — the “King of the Hill” — is one of those cars that was so good it scared Chevrolet’s own marketing department. This 33,000-mile 1995 Corvette ZR-1 is from the final year of production, powered by the legendary LT5 V8 built in cooperation with Lotus. Low-mileage, final-year ZR-1s are genuinely collectible right now, and 33k miles on a ’95 is positively low by any standard. This one deserves serious attention from Corvette collectors.

1968 Cadillac Eldorado at No Reserve

The first-gen front-wheel-drive Eldorado is one of the most underrated American luxury coupes ever built — a massive, razor-styled personal luxury car that was genuinely futuristic for 1968. This no-reserve 1968 Cadillac Eldorado is the kind of listing that rewards anyone who shows up early and keeps their nerve. No reserve means it sells to the highest bidder no matter what, which historically separates serious buyers from tire-kickers real fast. Fins, chrome, and drama — what’s not to love?

No-Reserve 1961 Ford F-250 Custom 4-Speed w/Camper

Vintage trucks with campers attached are having a serious moment in the collector market, and this no-reserve 1961 Ford F-250 Custom with a 4-speed and camper is exactly the kind of thing that turns a BaT comment section into a campfire story competition. Early unibrow-era F-250s have the bones and the character, and pairing one with a period camper makes it a lifestyle statement as much as a vehicle. No reserve sweetens the deal considerably.

390-Powered 1972 Ford F-250 Sport Custom Camper Special

Two vintage F-250 camper trucks in one day — BaT must be reading our search history. This 390-powered 1972 Ford F-250 Sport Custom Camper Special brings the classic FE-adjacent big-block grunt that made these trucks legendary workhorses. The “Camper Special” package was purpose-built for heavy camper loads, meaning this truck was spec’d from the factory to be taken seriously. A 390 and a camper in 1972 is pure American overland culture before overland culture had a name.

Fuel-Injected, 350-Powered 1934 Chevrolet Master Sedan

A prewar Chevy with fuel injection and a 350 under the hood — now that’s a sentence. This fuel-injected, 350-powered 1934 Chevrolet Master Sedan is clearly a custom build that leans into driveability while keeping the gorgeous Art Deco shell intact. The Master Sedan body style is deeply handsome, and grafting modern mechanicals underneath means you can actually enjoy it instead of nursing it. Hot rod traditionalists may grumble, but this thing looks like a blast to drive.

2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT Crew Cab 4×4 Duramax

The early 2000s Duramax-equipped heavy-duty trucks have developed a quiet but fierce following, and this 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT Crew Cab 4×4 Duramax is a prime example of why. The LB7 Duramax paired with the Allison transmission is a combination that diesel enthusiasts still talk about in reverent tones over two decades later. Clean examples like this are getting genuinely hard to find, and BaT buyers have been paying accordingly.

2004 Kawasaki ZRX1200R at No Reserve

We close things out with two wheels and no reserve — always a fun combination. The 2004 Kawasaki ZRX1200R is a retro-styled sport bike that pays homage to the legendary Eddie Lawson Endurance replica machines of the 1980s, wrapped around a stout 1,200cc inline-four. The ZRX1200R has always had a devoted cult following among riders who want serious performance without the aggressive tuck of a full sportbike. No reserve on a clean ZRX? Bike guys, this is your moment.

That’s your Monday BaT rundown — a supercar for the dreamers, two vintage Corvettes for the GM faithful, a pair of old-school work trucks for the campfire crowd, a prewar hot rod, a diesel hauler, and a cafe-cool Kawasaki to round it all out. With bidding still cold on most of these, the next 24 to 48 hours are going to tell the real story. Check back in and see what these bring.
