Monday on Bring a Trailer and the listings committee apparently decided to go absolutely feral. We’ve got a supercar with a supercharged V8 from a Mercedes-McLaren partnership that may never happen again, a turbo’d American muscle icon with original-owner provenance, and enough classic iron in between to make your weekend plans evaporate entirely. None of these have bids yet — which means the window to get in early and look smart is still open. Let’s run through them.
7k-Mile 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Seven thousand miles on one of the most dramatic grand tourers ever bolted together by two legendary brands — a supercharged 5.4-liter AMG V8 firing through a nose that could double as a runway, with gullwing doors that make every parking lot an event. The SLR McLaren was polarizing when new and is genuinely collectible now, especially at mileage this low. This is the kind of car that makes you realize “rare” and “special” aren’t always the same thing, but here they absolutely are. Bid on the 7k-mile 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren on Bring a Trailer.
Modified 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed
A GT3 Touring with a six-speed manual is already the answer to a question most enthusiasts didn’t know how to ask, and someone has gone ahead and modified it — which will either thrill you or make you clutch your pearls depending on how purist you run. The Touring spec swaps the wing for a cleaner, sleeper look that ages better on a Tuesday morning commute than a full GT3 bodykit. Modifications on a car this sorted are a double-edged sword at auction, so read the fine print carefully. Check out the modified 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed on Bring a Trailer.
1967 Ford Mustang GTA Fastback S-Code 390
The S-Code 390 big-block in a ’67 fastback body is the combination that launched a thousand poster-bedroom dreams — this is the Bullitt-era Mustang in its most muscular, purposeful form before the bloat of the ’70s arrived. The GTA designation means it was factory-optioned with the C6 automatic and the “GT” performance package, a legitimate factory muscle car from the golden age. Fastbacks in this configuration have been climbing steadily, and the market doesn’t seem interested in slowing down. Place a bid on the 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Fastback S-Code 390 on Bring a Trailer.
Original-Owner 1987 Buick Grand National
Original-owner provenance on a Grand National is the holy grail — these turbocharged dark knights were already legends before the internet made everything a collector item, and one that’s stayed in the same family since new tells a story that’s hard to fake. The 3.8-liter turbocharged V6 embarrassed Corvettes off the line in 1987, and the all-black menace of the Grand National’s styling has only gotten cooler with age. Expect this one to draw serious attention once the bidding wakes up. Follow the original-owner 1987 Buick Grand National auction on Bring a Trailer.
RoW 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe 5-Speed
“RoW” — Rest of World spec — means this 964-generation Carrera 2 was built to a different emissions and equipment standard than US-market cars, and that detail alone sends air-cooled Porsche nerds into a frenzy of spreadsheets and forum posts. The 964 is the last 911 that really felt like a direct descendant of the original, with just enough modernization to be livable but enough rawness to be thrilling. Five-speed, rear-engine, air-cooled — this is the recipe. View the RoW 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe 5-Speed on Bring a Trailer.
43-Years-Family-Owned 1969 BMW 2800CS
Forty-three years in one family is a provenance story that practically writes itself, and the 2800CS — the predecessor to the legendary CSL — is one of the most graceful coupes BMW ever produced, penned by Wilhelm Hofmeister with lines that still look fresh today. These E9-platform cars have been undervalued for years relative to their rarity and style, and the collector market has started to notice. A single-family car with that kind of continuity is the kind of thing you just don’t walk away from lightly. See the 43-years-family-owned 1969 BMW 2800CS on Bring a Trailer.
27k-Mile 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible
Twenty-seven thousand miles on a fourth-gen Trans Am convertible means this car has been babied, garaged, and probably covered in a flannel blanket for most of its life — and thank goodness for that, because the LS1-powered final years of the Firebird are aging into genuine collectibility faster than anyone predicted. A convertible adds a layer of rarity to what was already a low-volume model in its final years before GM killed the platform. The mullet jokes are officially retired; these are cool now. Bid on the 27k-mile 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible on Bring a Trailer.
383-Powered 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible
The Sport Fury was Plymouth’s top-of-the-line sporty model in ’64, and when you drop a 383 big-block into a convertible body from that era, you get a car that’s equal parts boulevard cruiser and stoplight brawler. These early B-body Plymouths have a devoted following that appreciates their combination of style, muscle, and relative scarcity compared to the Mopar models that got more press over the decades. Open air, big cubic inches, and chrome — this is what summer was invented for. Check out the 383-powered 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible on Bring a Trailer.
43k-Mile 2006 Ferrari F430 Spider
The F430 Spider sits in a sweet spot that Ferrari has never quite replicated — mid-engine, naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V8 screaming toward a 8,500 RPM redline, with a folding roof that lets you hear every glorious decibel. At 43,000 miles this one has actually been driven, which in the Ferrari world is either a black mark or a badge of honor depending on who you ask — I’m firmly in the badge-of-honor camp. These have been creeping up in value as the naturally aspirated era fades further into the rearview. View the 43k-mile 2006 Ferrari F430 Spider on Bring a Trailer.
