The most expensive Q1 BaT sale shouldn't surprise you! Photo Credit: BaT
There are only so many big dogs in the collector car auction circles, with Mecum and Barrett-Jackson often jabbing back and forth as to who is the biggest and best. But we enthusiasts can’t (and don’t) forget about Bring a Trailer, which puts up some stellar numbers, in perpetuity. Meaning, their auctions run 24/7, versus Mecum’s and Barrett-Jackson’s staggered extravaganzas. [Author’s Note: This article is FREE and not behind a paywall. Yes, FREE!

Here is a cool and enlightening (customizable) graph from BaT, plotting the all-time C8 sales on their site since the inception of the mid-engine masterpiece. You can click on the photo to enlarge the different data points to see the progression of sales as the C8 moved into 2022. For me, it’s particularly interesting to see the cluster of sales dots move from the $85,000 range in mid-2022 to the $65,000 range in Q1 of 2025.
Sure, it’s the natural progression of depreciation that most vehicles display, but I know we can ALL agree that it took the C8 much longer to reach this natural depreciation dynamic (we can chalk that up to the Covid-Era complexities).
