Right now the prices are really high. Since the Army plans on no longer buying new HMMWV's after this year then maybe we might see some come by way of auction again. Currently these get sold outside the USA or get stripped down to the frame and rebuilt.

Having been in the Army since 1990 I really want one........but there is no way with the current prices.

You might start by using the right term. A Hummer is the civilian truck. The military uses a HMMWV, often pronounced Humvee. Many folks are very particular in terms. As for finding one, there are always some on Ebay under Military Vehicles. Conditions, models and price varies. Other sites include this one and Military Vehicle Sales and Appraisal Service

I agree with emmando...there may be a stripped tub or some excess/used parts sold but I doubt GL/DRMO will be selling any soon, if ever. I think FMS etc will account for most of the vehicles.

Just a friendly word of caution: according to what I've been told, only a few were ever released for sale to the public and that was years ago.
If you find one to buy at any price make sure the seller has a believable paper trail.
A friend in South GA was working on two for a customer and Federal Marshalls came to his place and wanted to see the paperwork. Of course the owner had it and all was good.

February 7th, 2010.

Alfred10:

If your pockets are deep enough, you might be able to locate one of the HMMWV's that the USMC traded out several years back for repairs on their helo fleet..... Other then that, the chance is nil you'll ever see something more modern be released.

Clark Equipment is one place to look in Poca,WV.

Cheers,

Kyle F. McGrogan

Your pockets will need top be deeper as a semi runnable one will go for about $30,000 UP.
