Valhalla to Jeepster: BaT’s July 2 Lineup Is Wild

Valhalla to Jeepster: BaT's July 2 Lineup Is Wild

It’s July 2nd and Bring a Trailer is serving up one of the most eclectic auction lineups we’ve seen in a while — we’re talking a brand-new hypercar sitting right next to a 1969 Jeep pickup, with a near-undriven SLS AMG and a couple of air-cooled Porsches thrown in for good measure. The bids are just waking up across the board, which means right now is the best time to get your eyes on these before the feeding frenzy starts in the final hours. Grab your coffee and let’s dig in.

2026 Aston Martin Valhalla

A brand-new Valhalla on BaT — yeah, you read that right. This is Aston Martin’s mid-engine hybrid hypercar, the car that took the better part of a decade to go from concept fever dream to actual production reality, and it is absolutely the crown jewel of today’s lineup. We’re at zero bids right now, which is either a sign that serious buyers are lurking quietly or that people are simply intimidated by what this thing is likely to cost. Don’t sleep on it — check out the 2026 Aston Martin Valhalla auction on Bring a Trailer and be ready for this one to move fast once the sharks smell blood.

32k-Mile 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet 5-Speed at No Reserve

A 993-generation 911 Cabriolet with a proper 5-speed manual and only 32,000 miles — this is exactly the kind of listing BaT was built for. The 993 is widely considered the last of the truly analog 911s, and the no-reserve tag means this one is absolutely going to sell, full stop. Air-cooled cabriolet values have been climbing for years and show no real signs of stopping. Don’t miss your chance to bid on this 32k-mile 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet — no reserve means no excuses.

251-Mile 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

Two hundred and fifty-one miles. On a gullwing-doored, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 masterpiece. Whoever bought this car new clearly either had too many cars or lost the keys, and honestly their loss is your gain. The SLS AMG is already ascending into proper collectible territory, and a near-new example like this is the kind of thing that ends up in climate-controlled museum garages — but it deserves better than that. Go take a long look at this 251-mile 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and try not to lose your mind.

46k-Mile 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe

The 991.1 Carrera S is that sweet spot where modern 911 performance meets prices that haven’t completely lost touch with reality — yet. Forty-six thousand miles means this one has actually been enjoyed, which is exactly how it should be, and the 991 generation’s 3.8-liter flat-six is one of the great naturally aspirated engines of the modern era. If you want a usable, drivable 911 that you won’t be terrified to take on a canyon road, this 46k-mile 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S on BaT deserves a hard look.

2023 Ferrari Roma

The Roma might be the most effortlessly beautiful Ferrari built in the last two decades — it’s the kind of car that looks like it belongs parked outside a café on the Amalfi Coast, and it drives with enough fire to remind you it’s still very much a Ferrari. Being a 2023 model, depreciation has already done some of its early work, which means there could be a legitimate window here for a buyer who wants a nearly new grand tourer without the full sticker-price pain. This 2023 Ferrari Roma auction is one to watch closely as the clock runs down.

2005 Cadillac XLR

The XLR is one of those cars that never quite got the respect it deserved when new — a retractable hardtop roadster on a Corvette-adjacent platform wearing a Cadillac suit — and the market has been slowly coming around on them. Values are still modest compared to comparable European roadsters of the era, which makes this an interesting play for someone who wants drama and rarity without drama-level pricing. This 2005 Cadillac XLR on Bring a Trailer is a sleeper pick in an otherwise exotic-heavy lineup today.

One-Owner 2014 Hino 258ALP Rollback Car Hauler

Okay, this is a truck — but not just any truck. A one-owner rollback car hauler is the kind of practical listing that slides onto BaT and quietly gets snapped up by someone who just won a barn-find Bronco and needs a way to get it home, or by a small dealer who knows exactly what a clean, single-owner commercial rig is worth. The Hino 258 platform has a solid reputation for durability, and single-owner commercial equipment is genuinely rare to find. If you move cars for a living or just like being prepared, this one-owner 2014 Hino 258ALP rollback hauler is worth a serious look.

1969 Jeep Jeepster Commando Pickup V6 3-Speed

Now we’re talking — a 1969 Jeepster Commando in pickup form, with a V6 and a 3-speed manual, is the kind of thing that makes old-school off-road heads absolutely lose composure. The Jeepster Commando is criminally underappreciated compared to its CJ siblings, and the pickup body style is rarer and cooler than most people realize. This is the wild card of today’s lineup, the one that a certain type of enthusiast will fight over while everyone else is watching the Valhalla. Don’t overlook this 1969 Jeep Jeepster Commando pickup on BaT — the underdogs always have a way of stealing the show.

21k-Mile 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe

The Gallardo is the car that turned Lamborghini from a niche curiosity into a genuine volume brand, and a 2006 coupe with only 21,000 miles is a proper time capsule of that era’s mid-engine V10 insanity. Early Gallardos are sitting at an interesting inflection point in the market right now — low enough to feel attainable, old enough to be interesting, and rare enough in clean low-mile form that they won’t stay this way forever. This 21k-mile 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe rounds out today’s lineup in style and deserves every bid it gets.

All zeros on bids right now, but don’t let that fool you — this is a stacked Thursday and most of these will be in full war mode before the weekend. The Valhalla and the SLS are obvious headliners, but keep your eye on that no-reserve 993 Cabriolet and the Jeepster, because those are the ones that could surprise everyone. Happy bidding, and as always, set your max bid and walk away — or don’t, and enjoy the ride.
