Understanding genuine Certified Predetermined Collectibles, Theoretical Rallies

This week, Alex and Beck open with bathroom strategies for New Mexico’s Philmont Scout Ranch, and then discuss long movies that are off-limits due to parenthood; how the GT350 really gots is name; Colin Comer, Howard Pardee, and the other special go-to guys for specific car models; the seedier habits of owners looking for car certification; why recent photos are the end-all, be-all for “correctness”; and when Shelby may have signed his own car.

The pair move on to talk about their watchlists, in the process covering some great muscle on BaT, a refreshingly clean Porsche, and predetermined collectibility. They also touch on what prompts conservation in general, lament today’s commitment levels for cross-country driving, expand on the idea of the Drum Brake Rally, and hint at a new kind of BaT event to come later in 2026.

    Here’s the DFW Car and Toy Museum Collection, Offered at No Reserve

    8/19 Update: nearly all of the cars from the massive DFW Toy and Museum Collection have gone live, many have already sold, and the seller has now added three more! Be on the lookout for a 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider, 1982 HMV FreeWay project car, and a 1961 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe, which should post soon.
    The DFW Car and Toy Museum is the largest of its kind in Texas, and being the largest anything in Texas is really saying something. Indeed, within their 150,000-square-foot facility, they host a collection of more than 200 cars and 3,000 toys. That said, everyone has their limits, and owner Ron Sturgeon has set a 200-car cap—notable because his museum has won 214 BaT auctions to date. To clear up some space in their ever-rotating lineup, the museum is now presenting this massive collection of 38 cars (and counting) on Bring a Trailer, most of which are BaT Alumni and all of which are being offered with no reserve!

    Here’s sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 222

    Recently I did something that all my life I swore I’d never do. Had been offered many chances to do it before but always gamely resisted, white-knuckling through any and all temptations like a champ. However, over the past few years I’ve found myself growing weaker of body and spirit and mind while the deadly-sweet melody of one particular siren’s song only grew louder and more seductive and last week I finally gave up and gave in. I know there are those who’ll think less of me because of it, people who’ll look askance at me when I walk into the room and whisper and hiss and snicker about me when I walk back out but, oh well. It is what it is. Or was what it was, I suppose. There’s no taking it back now and before rumors started to fly I figured I’d better get ahead of any scandal and admit it outright, admit that I’d gone over to the Dark Side and for the first time ever had my car professionally detailed rather than washing it by hand myself. I hope you were all sitting down.

    What to Know About summer 2026 BaT Events—Mark Your Calendars!

    BaT events continue to be the highlights of our year! Since our first Alumni Gathering in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2018, our events have grown in both variety and scale. To date, we’ve hosted more than 50 Alumni Gatherings and Meet-Ups, along with many appearances at concours, races, and other enthusiast events around the world. It’s always great to meet the folks behind the usernames and ogle at the broad swath of impressive machinery that tends to show up to these gatherings. Our 2026 event season has been busier than ever, and we’re cooking up even more opportunities to bring the BaT community together. We’re pleased to announce the next three events of 2026:

    We’ll be sponsoring the 70th anniversary of the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance in Burlingame, California. Over the decades, the Concours has brought a plethora of vintage iron together, making it “the longest continually running Concours in the world” according to the organizers. If you’re attending, visit our big-top on the fairway of the Crystal Springs Golf Course, where we’ll feature a trio of enthusiast cars and hand out free giveaways. It’s happening on Sunday, June 28, from 10:00am to 4:00pm, and additional details can be found here. Grab your tickets now! BaT users can get $10 off their Sunday tickets by entering code BAT26 at checkout—available for the first 200 tickets sold. We hope to see you there!
    We’re coming to the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway on July 11 for a BaT gathering with Local Partner @911r of the Avant-Garde Collection in Portland, Oregon. We’ll have a large area for enthusiasts to display their interesting vehicles, and BaT staff will be on hand with giveaways and plenty of good company. Please note that you’ll have to register to display your vehicle.
    Join us a week later for the WeatherTech Vintage Weekend festivities in downtown Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. BaT is the Title Sponsor for this year’s Race Car Parade on Friday, July 17 and the Road America Concours d’Elegance on Saturday, July 18. Both events run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, and you can visit our tent to enjoy giveaways, great camaraderie, and a compelling array of special cars. We’ll also have a large tent at Turn 5 at Road America throughout the weekend.
