After a slow start, the Ultimate Overland Vehicle and Motorcycle Build auctions completed last week with an excited crescendo of bids in the final minutes of each auction. Bring a Trailer continues to be a fantastic partner in hosting the annual build auctions and the two winning bidders should be very happy with their new vehicles.
2023 GMC Canyon AT4x- $75,000
The wildly capable GMC Canyon AT4X was an exciting build to plan and show off to the overland community. This project was managed by our very own Brand Marketing Manager Matt Felderman. Matt worked with a wide variety of exhibitors to build a vehicle that is extremely capable and is very comfortable to travel in on and off road.
"We are beyond excited about the success of the Ultimate Overland Build Auctions! The funding generated from the auctions will enable our team to continue to increase our efforts into 2025 with exciting new projects and grant recipients. I want to thank the exhibitors that contributed to this project, the media outlets that helped promote it, and all of the staff effort that is required to build these vehicles and make sure they get to where they need to be each year."
Rachael Elseman, Overland Expo Foundation Executive Director
2024 URAL GEAR UP- $36,000
The 2024 Ultimate Motorcycle Build is one of the most unique motorcycles build by the Overland Expo Foundation team. Project Manager Eva Rupert tied together an already renowned overlanding motorcycle platform with the perfect combination of aftermarket accessories to create a truly excellent example of an expedition-ready motorcycle. This URAL is ready to cross the globe and we are so excited to see where the new owner takes it!
If you missed your chance to bid on one of these amazing vehicles, there are still many ways to support the mission of the Overland Expo Foundation. Making a recurring donation is the best way to support the foundation over the long term and it is never too early to inquire about volunteering with the foundation in 2025.
