💰 The figures shared below don’t count any other sales such as car seats, memorabilia etc… All online auction sites are analyzed to put this leaderboard together.

I only include websites that have sold 5+ vehicles in the chart below.

We couldn't quite match the sales pace of the last few days, but we still pushed nearly $7 million worth of vehicles across the finish line, with an average sale price of $42k. The leaderboard is back to our usual four platforms. So, who's going to step up? Hemmings had 50 listings this week but only managed a 28% sell-through rate. PCarMarket had just over 50 listings with a 22% sell-through rate, and neither made the leaderboard.

I'd love to see some of the smaller sites come together and form a bigger platform that could really compete. There's even been some buzz about one 'smaller' site looking for a buyer instead of a partner.

But let's be real—the chances of these sites teaming up are slim. Most of them have big ambitions or are backed by people with even bigger ambitions.

Looking at the top auctions below, there are some fascinating stories worth noting.

First off, hats off to Collecting Cars for leading the pack with a solid $508k sale. It's a rare manual Murciélago with low mileage, and it's staying true to its Italian roots. A 2006 model went for $650k on Cars & Bids in January, so the notion of finding 'bargains' in Europe seems spot on, at least for yesterday.

Next, I was pleasantly surprised to see Cars & Bids making waves in the top 5 again. They landed a big one with the F8 Spider going for a surprisingly reasonable $395,000. It screamed private seller to me, especially since dealers are asking $100k more. The MSRP was $358k, and fun fact, this was their third highest sale of the year. Well done!

Lastly, we've got Joe Kugel’s ‘MyWay’ 427-Powered ’32 Ford Roadster 5-Speed, which even had a cameo on Jay Leno’s garage. It didn't hit the $222k mark initially, but the seller and high bidder used the 'make a final offer' feature to seal the deal at $250k. I'm seeing more and more of these deals getting done this way.

Daily, there's an astonishing array of vehicles available across 20+ auction sites, though admittedly, some sites consistently offer more compelling options than others. While scrolling through today's offerings, I could have highlighted any number of intriguing vehicles. However, these three caught my eye for their distinct characteristics and potential value propositions.

Each hails from a different auction platform and represents a unique segment of the classic car market. We have a Ferrari that's making a return appearance with adjusted expectations, a quirky French classic that's ripe for sympathetic improvement, and a well-maintained German luxury convertible from the American Southwest.

Despite their differences, each of these vehicles, in my estimation, could represent a savvy acquisition for the right buyer. Let's take a closer look at what makes these particular offerings stand out in today's crowded auction landscape...

Remember that sick '72 Ferrari Dino 246 GT that popped up on BaT back in January? (I just about remembered it) Well, it's back and it's lookin' hot. Last time it hit $300k but didn't meet reserve. Now the seller's thrown it back up with some tweaks and a lower reserve. Sounds like it's gonna sell this time for sure. (current bid is already $300k)

This ain't just any Dino, it's got some serious history. Used to belong to John Corbani, a big-time Ferrari nut. It's one of those E-series joints - only about 2,900 of 'em made. They repainted it this sick Midnight Blue Metallic, which is actually a Porsche color. Pretty wild, right?

Inside, you've got these dope fixed-back bucket seats in black leather. It's rockin' a 2.4-liter V6 with Weber carbs and a five-speed manual. They've done some work on it too - rebuilt the engine back in '05, added a Perma-Tune ignition, that kinda stuff.

The seller's hyping it up big time. Says it's got full docs from new, all original bits, and the cleanest set of books and manuals you'll ever see.

Looks like the owner's bouncing to someplace that ain't great for keeping a ride like this, so they've dropped the reserve to make sure it sells. If you're into these old school Ferraris, might be worth keeping an eye on. Sounds like the last hour of this will be a lot of fun to watch.

Alright, let's take a look at this 1972 Citroën DS21 D Super 5. This is quite an intriguing find, and here's why I think it's worth paying attention to:

First off, the DS is an absolute icon of French automotive design. Flaminio Bertoni's styling was way ahead of its time when it debuted, and it still turns heads today. This particular model is a DS21 D Super 5, which means it's got the larger 2.2L engine and the desirable 5-speed manual transmission.

What makes this one interesting is its history and current condition. It's an original French-market car that's had a bit of a European tour, spending time in Italy and the UK before finding its way back to France. The current owner's had it for three years.

Now, it's not a pristine example by any means. It's been repainted from its original green to a sleek grey, and the interior's been redone in a striking red velour and white vinyl combo. However, the seller's honest about its flaws - there's rust and corrosion in places, and the interior retrim job isn't top-notch.

But here's the thing: It's got that incredible hydropneumatic suspension that the DS is famous for, plus some cool features like directional headlights and air conditioning.

In my opinion, this is a great opportunity for someone who wants a characterful classic that they can actually use and enjoy while gradually improving it. The DS is known for its supremely comfortable ride, and with its 5-speed manual, this one should be a joy to drive on long trips.

Sure, it needs some cosmetic work, but that also means it's likely to be more affordable than a fully restored example. For the right enthusiast, this could be a rewarding project car that's still perfectly usable in its current state.

Plus, let's face it - you're not going to see yourself coming and going in one of these. If you want a classic that stands out from the crowd of MGB’s and Triumph TR’s, this quirky French beauty could be just the ticket.

Check out this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. This is a pretty sweet find, and here's why I think it's worth a look:

First off, it's a no-reserve auction, which always adds some excitement. This is the top-dog version of the R107 SL, with that beefy 5.5L V8 under the hood. It's got 227 horses and 287 lb-ft of torque, which was pretty stout for the mid-80s.

What's cool about this one is its history. The seller got it from the original owner, who was actually their neighbor. Turns out, it was a Christmas surprise from the husband - ordered in triple blue. That's a classy move right there. The lady drove it daily for years, then it became a second home car, always garaged and covered.

Now, it's not perfect. The odometer's been repaired, so the mileage is technically unknown. There are some chips and scratches on the exterior, and the interior's got some wear. But here's the thing - the seller's put a ton of work into it since buying it in 2021. We're talking new brakes, transmission work, a new convertible top, and a whole bunch of mechanical updates. They've only put about 3,300 miles on it themselves.

What makes this interesting to me is that it's a Texas car from new, which usually means less rust to worry about. It comes with both the soft top and a color-matched hardtop, so you've got options. Plus, it's got that classic 80s Mercedes build quality - these things were built like tanks.

Sure, it needs some cosmetic love, but mechanically it sounds pretty solid. For someone looking for a classic Benz they can actually drive and enjoy while gradually sprucing it up, this could be a great opportunity. These R107 SLs are starting to get some serious collector attention, especially the later 560 models.

Plus, with no reserve, who knows? You might just snag a deal here.
