Bring A Trailer and Cars & Bids both suffered yesterday with two of the their bigger auctions not selling (see below). That being said, they both STILL dominate the sales across all platforms.

🔥 NO RESERVE: A Prancing Horse Rarity - 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC 🔥

🚀 A Rare Breed: The 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC Story 📚

Say hello to the exquisite and exceedingly rare 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC. Born in an era of pure Italian auto ingenuity, the 330 GTC is one of just 598 that graced the world between 1966 and 1968. This particular beauty was first delivered to M.G. Crepaldi Automobili, a reputable dealer in Milan, way back in January '67.

🎨 A Beautiful Rebirth: The Refurbishment Journey 🛠️

Let's dive into its history. This classic was imported into the US during its previous life, earning its Ferrari Classiche stripes in May 2013. Our current owner took the reins in 2020 and embarked on a comprehensive refurbishment journey completed in 2022 by Kandy Shop Creations of Mesa, Arizona.

💎 The Crown Jewels: Exquisite Features and Specs 👑

It's dressed in its original shade of Grigio Scuro (a chic, deep grey for those not fluent in Italian 😏), powered by a roaring 4.0-liter Colombo V12 paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. We've got triple Weber carburetors, an ANSA quad-exit exhaust, 14″ Borrani wire wheels, and power windows. Inside, it's all luxury with beige leather upholstery, a Becker Mexico cassette player, and a Pyrotect driver's harness.

⏳ Tick Tock: A Golden Opportunity 🌟

But here's the juicy bit: there have been ZERO online auction sales of this model since 2021. The last one we saw cross the block at a physical auction house was in March this year, fetching a cool $610,000! So, this is your chance to own a piece of Ferrari history, with our example currently sitting pretty at $375,000. But don't delay - this auction ends TODAY!

🚦 Ready, Set, Bid! 🏁

Get ready, set, BID! 🚀 (results will be in tomorrow’s edition)

💥620-Mile 2019 Ford GT, A Not-So-Successful Sale Saga💥

Hold on to your hats, people, because there's a plot twist in the tale of the 620-Mile 2019 Ford GT! Despite its drool-worthy specs and an alluring persona, this power-packed vehicle didn't manage to sell for the top bid of $941,000 on Bring A Trailer. Is this surprising? Not to me, see below why.

🚀 The 'Rocket on Wheels' That Didn't Take Off

This spectacular beast, donned in Liquid Blue Paint and Frozen White Over-The-Top Stripes, boasted a roaring Twin-Turbocharged 3.5-Liter EcoBoost V6 engine. But it seems the horsepower didn't quite translate into bidding power! 😅

💔 Why The Cold Feet?

You might be wondering what went wrong. After all, this beauty had everything going for it – from a super speedy Getreg Seven-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic Transaxle to an attractive Black Leather & Blue Alcantara Upholstery. Unfortunately, my friends, it's all about timing. 🕰️

📈 And the Trend Says...

The past two years have been a rollercoaster for car sales. Prices took a hit until December 2021 but saw an upward climb in March 2022. However, by August 2022, the trend took a downward turn again. This auction fell smack dab in the middle of this 'worrying' trend.

🎯 So, What's The Verdict?

While the result of the auction might leave some sellers feeling a bit queasy, my advice for Ford GT owners would be - Hold on! Just like the fast lane on a highway, the market also has its ups and downs. Keep your eyes on the road (read: market trends), and wait for the right time to make your move. Until then, enjoy the ride! 🚗💨

This wasn’t the only big ticket item that didn’t hit its reserve price yesterday…

🎩 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn - A Paragon of Luxury 🚘

Feast your eyes on the 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn, the epitome of elegance and sophistication. Recently, this stunner was the star of the show at the Cars and Bids auction, where the highest bid reached $197,000.

📸 Elegance Personified:

Outfitted in an immaculate white exterior complemented by a soft black top and a plush white interior, this Dawn is a sight to behold. But don't be fooled by its exquisite charm - a 6.6L turbocharged V12 beast lies under its hood, ensuring a drive that's as exhilarating as it is luxurious.

🚦 Power Meets Luxury:

The Rolls-Royce Dawn isn't just about beauty. With its 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing a whopping 563 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque, the Dawn is a power-packed luxury convertible. The balance of a rear-wheel-drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission gives a unique blend of power, control, and comfort.

🎁 The Complete Package:

The Dawn's features list reads like a luxury buyer's wish list: 21-inch wheels, self-righting center caps, self-leveling rear air springs, power-operated Spirit of Ecstasy emblem, and soft-close doors. Additionally, the heated and power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, and soft-close trunk lid enhance the overall experience.

💭 My Take:

The 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn, with its mix of power and luxury, is an appealing investment for any car enthusiast. Its last sale in March fetched $205,000, which may suggest that current bids are more reflective of market trends than the car's inherent value. The Dawn is a timeless statement piece - it’s more than just a vehicle, it exudes elegance and performance. If you seek lasting value, this could be your perfect ride.
