I just don’t get it. Somehow we live in a world where non car-enthusiasts keep buying SUVs with no off-road capability, and car enthusiasts keep spending ridiculous sums on Porsche 911s. All this when really, they should all be buying this five-speed 1990 Plymouth Voyager Turbo for much, much less. What am I not…
Sad that you missed out on Radwood Philly because you didn’t have something rad to bring? Well dry those tears because here’s your chance to own one of the raddest cars to ever exist: Matt Farah’s very own 1988 Ford Mustang SSP 5.0. And if you buy it, the proceeds go to the cause of your choosing.
Every day, I come into the Jalopnik office, open my laptop and blog the blogs. I also have a separate window always open and one eye trained on my TweetDeck, which is how I saw this lovely red 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R pop up on Bring a Trailer. I think its shininess is what first caught my attention.
The specialty used auto-things market is booming because we live in interesting/revolutionary times. First there was that Porsche 911 RSR manual booklet that sold for $6,000, and now you can bid on a long-forgotten hood piece reportedly off of a 1989 Ferrari F40.
Look, I love old car manuals. Hell, I just spent $6 for a manual for a 1978 Volvo 343, a car I’ve never even seen in person. But when I look at Bring a Trailer and see that a 1974 Porsche Carrera RSR manual sold for $6,000, I can’t help but feel that nothing makes sense anymore and if we’re not careful, all of the…
Bring A Trailer, the website set up to help you find listings for no-rust Renault Dauphines with a missing engine, is selling a LaFerrari with 95 miles on it for some reason. I expect the price to land somewhere between “GDP of a small country” and “the moon.”
The BMW E46 M3, with its 333 horsepower, timeless styling, and wailing straight-six, remains the eternal “Best M3,” the people’s champ. But how much would you really pay for one new today?
Y’all. I’m sick of seeing the frankly disgusting prices that some of the cars go for on the Bring A Trailer. Like this Honda Civic. And this Honda Civic, too. And also for this 1997 Acura Integra Type R, which just sold for $40,750. This is out of control.
When I visit the car-auction site “Bring A Trailer,” I expect to see automobiles. But I’ll gladly make an exception for this recent Ferrari F40 engine listing, which is filled with mechanically pornographic imagery of the Ferrari F40's amazing 2.9-liter V8. Prepare your souls for an up-close view of greatness.
You see this here neon green 1972 Datsun 240Z? You see how it has bronze wheels? Fender flares? I would drive the shit out of this thing. I would do unspeakable things to own it.
Assembled from the boxy oddness of the Series 2 Fiat 127 supermini comes the greatest beach car design ever. Looking a bit like a cross between an old Fiat Jolly and a Volkswagen Thing, this Moretti Midimaxi was built purely to provide its owner joy. Just look at the ugly duckling styling and try to imagine the…
Chris Runge has been hand-hammering gorgeous ‘50s-inspired sports car bodies for a handful of years now. With each successive project, he gets a little more creative with the bodywork, but each is gorgeous in its own way. This particular example, Frankfurt Flyer 004 built in 2016, is for sale on Bring A Trailer right…
Summer is upon us once again, which means that I will have to travel to the disgusting cesspool of New York City at least a few times to check on some... investments. Transportation there has always been tricky, but luckily I have come across what I understand the proles refer to as a “city car.”
Low-mileage examples aren’t that unusual on car auction website and perennial Jalopnik staff time-waster Bring A Trailer. It’s pretty typical for you to see some mid-2000s Mercedes with 45,000 miles pop up on the front page. But this 1975 Honda Civic is truly something else.
When the Ford GT came out in 2005, Ford asked what seemed like an unthinkably-high $150,000 for the supercharged Ferrari-fighter. Lol. These cars have gotten so, so, so much more expensive since then.
If you’ve been drowning out the sound of your own tears with Katy Perry’s “The One That Got Away” since one of the auto industry’s most iconic cars, a nearly perfect 1994 Toyota Supra with under 5,700 miles on it, sold to someone else last month, you’ll be happy to hear it’s available again. The sale fell through.
Last week, we discovered a shockingly pristine Toyota Supra Turbo on Bring A Trailer. Despite three owners, the car only had racked up 5,664 miles, was kept entirely stock, and had about as clean of a record as you could pray a car would have. At that time, someone had already bid $50,000, a pretty standard going…
Seeing a car that once populated my high school parking lot—a 2000 Honda Civic Si—sell for $22,750 is proof that Bring A Trailer is out of control. This is a car that usually fetches sub-five-digit prices, or so I thought. Sure, this one only had 10,439 miles, but it also sold for almost as much as a new Civic Si.
Clean, unmodified Toyota Supra Turbos have always commanded hefty price tags, but the market is starting to make air-cooled 911s look like Craigslist Honda Civic beaters. As I browse the website where the Jalopnik staff wastes most of its time during the workday—Bring A Trailer—I can only wonder what this…
If you, like me, are a massive fan of George Carlin, one of the greatest comedians to ever have lived, then this is an opportunity of a lifetime: Carlin’s 1996 BMW 850Ci has come up for sale.
