For the first time in history, the military permitted the public to purchase a Humvee.
The actual name is HMMWV – High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, pronounced “Humvee”.
There were 25 vehicles up for auction, with the lot netting $744,000.
These Humvees are not road-legal, and can be used only for off-roading.
They ranged in years from 1987 to 1995, and required no further de-militarization.
The average sale price – $30,000
The lowest sale price – $21,500
The highest sale price – $41,000
Still coated in war dust.
