Byjustpastevehicles August 28, 2026

Welcome to the Weekly Weird and Wonderful—a collection of the strangest, coolest, and most interesting cars on BaT in the last seven days. We’ve got a great mix for you this week, including two motorcycles and one motorcycle-ish creation, along with some seriously dangerous old racecars and a picture of the Queen Mum, God rest her soul. This list is by no means comprehensive, and there is plenty more to explore over on our live auctions page, which just topped 1,200 listings for the first time in 2026.

Byjustpastevehicles August 28, 2026

This flock of Goats comes from @1600veloce, who has gathered a tidy quintet of well-outfitted first- and second-generation Pontiacs for us. The two first-generation GTOs are offered with no reserve, a tastefully modified ’65 convertible and a ’67 hardtop in an interesting and unusual color scheme. The second-generation offerings are all four-speed Ram Air cars from 1970 that have been refurbished and will run as Premium auctions: an Orbit Orange Judge Ram Air III convertible, a white Judge Ram Air III coupe, and a black Judge Ram Air IV coupe acting as the capstone of the collection. Auctions will begin on Monday, May 18, and links to the respective listings will be added as they go live.

Byjustpastevehicles August 28, 2026

The Bond Group and Road Scholars are back together to bring us Round 10 of their impressive, ongoing Gruppe P Collection. This time around, the headlining act is a Grand Prix White Porsche 959 Sport—the first of the 29 track-oriented Sport variants that were produced to be auctioned on Bring a Trailer. At the other end of the spectrum is an example of Porsche’s slowest vehicle—a rare narrow-track Junior 108S vineyard tractor. Four Slate Grey cars form a subset of the collection, each with extensive history and desirable specs, and other highlights include a 1600 Super Speedster, a 356B Emory Outlaw, and a low-mileage 993 C2S in silver over black. That’s a broad overview—the specifics are much more interesting, so let’s get into them!

Here’s the Rennsport Collection, from Group C Curation
Byjustpastevehicles August 28, 2026

Over the years, Porsche has more or less laid claim to the term “rennsport,” but it simply refers to motorsport or “racing sport” in their native German. The Rennsport Collection, represented by BaT Local Partner Group C Curation, reappropriates the term in that broader sense, as it features eight late-model sports cars from one owner and his immediate family, all of which are inspired by racing in the grand European tradition. Porsches are not underrepresented, as they comprise more than half of the collection, and the pair of Ferraris and the Ford GT are models that squared off with contemporary 911s in various racing series.

Byjustpastevehicles August 28, 2026

It’s been too long since we’ve published “Why We Love Them,” a series of articles paying tribute to some of BaT’s favorite vehicles from the past. Era, genre, and country of origin aren’t as important as character—that hard-to-define “something” that all the best cars seem to have. This time around, we’re including input from members of the BaT community and staff as we discuss the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL roadster in all its variety.
