Bring a Trailer Daily Mail




This 1969 Triumph GT6 (chassis KC51917) was restored in the '90s and the seller says that is remains in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition. We like these cars on painted wire wheels with these small bumpers, and don't mind a little wear due to road miles since the restoration work. Find it posted 4 days ago here on Craigslist in Essex, Connecticut for $6500. Special thanks to BaT reader Christian G. for this submission.

This just in from the seller of the 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet sold here via BaT Auction last month (link):

"Hi BaT,
Aside from the hammer price exceeding expectations, the entire experience was very impressive. From pre-sales to the final minutes, the format is wholly unique. The anti-sniper three-minute countdown is a game changer, bringing the online experience much closer to a live auction atmosphere. Post-sale has gone well. We had good communication throughout and payment was relatively prompt for an overseas transfer. The Port of Miami is ridiculously strict and requires some additional documentation from the buyer so the transcontinental part of the journey keeps getting delayed. Nevertheless, it's inching toward its birthplace.

There is no question I will continue to use BaT Auctions for future sales and already have a few lots in mind. I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
…Peter"

Find it here on Craigslist in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for $35,900. Special thanks to BaT reader Jim S. for this submission.

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette (chassis 1Z37K2S518487) has been in the seller's family for 40 years and was fully matching numbers when taken apart to repair a rusted frame. The frame was beyond repair and swapped for the 1969 frame shown here. The seller says the buyer is responsible to re-mount the body and must have the car removed within 3 weeks of auction end. Find it here on eBay in Wellington, Ohio with a $9k Buy-It-Now. Special thanks to BaT reader Robert R. for this submission.

This 1973 MGB GT V8 is one of about 2,600 made over a four year period starting with this example's model year. Restored some time ago in Germany, the car has been modified extensively with a LHD conversion, 5-speed, upgraded suspension, brakes and more but remains clean and mostly tasteful--the non-original V8 badge on the hatch is a bit much. Find it here on Craigslist near Meford, Oregon for $25k.
