Testarossa, Fuelie Corvette & More Light Up BaT Today

Testarossa, Fuelie Corvette & More Light Up BaT Today

Sunday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like somebody raided the greatest hits of American and Italian automotive history all at once. We’ve got flat-12 Ferrari drama, a restomod Bronco with serious pedigree, a fuel-injected split-window Corvette that belongs in a museum, and a big-block Camaro that wants to eat quarter-miles for breakfast. Bidding is still early and quiet across the board — which means right now is exactly the time to get your eyes on these before the feeding frenzy starts in the final hours.

1990 Ferrari Testarossa

The Testarossa is one of those cars that defined an entire era of automotive excess, and the 1990 model year sits right in the sweet spot — late enough to have the benefit of the single-mirror update that fixed that goofy asymmetric look from the early cars. That 4.9-liter flat-twelve soundtrack is genuinely one of the greatest noises an internal combustion engine has ever made, full stop. Bidding hasn’t kicked off yet, so this is your window to do your homework before the serious money shows up. Check out the 1990 Ferrari Testarossa auction on Bring a Trailer and get in early.

1971 Ford Bronco ICON BR #97 5-Speed

ICON 4×4 builds are not cheap, and they are not supposed to be — these are bespoke, ground-up restorations done to a standard that the factory never dreamed of, and BR #97 is a numbered build with a 5-speed manual, which is exactly how you’d want it. Early Broncos on their own command serious money these days; wrap one in ICON’s craftsmanship and you’re in a different conversation entirely. No bids yet, but don’t let the silence fool you — ICON Broncos have a passionate and well-heeled following that tends to show up loud and late. Follow the 1971 Ford Bronco ICON BR #97 listing on Bring a Trailer before this one runs away.

1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe L84 327/360 Fuelie 4-Speed

If you know, you know — the split-window coupe was only offered in 1963, making it one of the most visually iconic and collectible Corvettes ever built, full stop. The L84 fuel-injected 327 making 360 horsepower was the top-dog engine option that year, and matching a Fuelie to the split-window body in a 4-speed car is essentially hitting the collector-car lottery. These don’t come up often in this configuration, and when they do, the auction room (virtual or otherwise) gets very serious very fast. Don’t miss the 1963 Corvette Split-Window Fuelie auction on Bring a Trailer — this one is a genuine blue-chip classic.

468-Powered 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS Coupe 4-Speed

The first-gen Camaro RS/SS is already one of the most desirable muscle cars on the planet, and somebody went ahead and stuffed a 468 cubic inch big-block under the hood for good measure — because apparently a stock SS wasn’t enough fun. The 4-speed manual keeps the driver in the loop, and the RS/SS combo means you’re getting both the Rally Sport hidden headlights and the Super Sport heavy-duty hardware. This is the kind of car that smells like race fuel and sounds like a natural disaster, and the auction is just getting started. Scope out the 468-powered 1967 Camaro RS/SS on Bring a Trailer while the bidding is still civilized.

Four very different machines, one common thread: these are exactly the kinds of cars people spend years hunting for, and they’re all live right now. Set your alarms for the closing hours, because when BaT’s bidding community wakes up on a lineup like this, things get interesting in a hurry. Stay locked to jamz.net for updates.
