BaT Auction Winner Will Have Lunch with GM President Mark Reuss

There’s nothing high-powered auto executives enjoy more than hearing the hair-brained product planning ideas of car enthusiasts. And now’s your chance!

If you’ve ever wanted to have the complete attention of a top General Motors exec for up to an hour, and get lunch out of the deal to boot, our Hearst colleagues over at BringATrailer.com will list an auction item April 2 and the winner will get lunch with GM President Mark Reuss.

“This truly priceless and unique, behind-the scenes experience takes place on Wednesday, July 24, 2024, at the GM Global Tech Center in Warren, Michigan,” reads a release from the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America, the auction beneficiary.

A recent gander at the menu for the Warren Tech Center canteen included everything from “Zesty Turkey” to the well-loved “Pickled Cabbage Reuben.” Them’s good eatin’.

The lunch will be followed by Reuss and the winner touring the annual Employee Car Show celebrating the 60th anniversary of GM A-body classics like the Pontiac GTO, Chevelle SS, and Olds 442.

Bidding opens Tuesday, April 2, and runs through Tuesday, April 9. The winning bid for this no-reserve auction, including the BaT buyer’s fee, will be donated to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (MSHFA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation, which suggests your winning bid might even be tax-deductible (but check with your accountant on that).

The Hall of Fame says its mission is “…to honor its ‘Heroes of Horsepower’ inductees and their winning American motorsports accomplishments and to preserve their legacies for generations to come.”
