Location:
Bedford, New York, United States
1993 AM General HMMWV/HUMVEE
Extremely
Rare Military Spec HMMWV with Civilian Interior, Leather Seats, Air
Conditioning, Outfitted as Military Police Vehicle, 2 Owners from New,
21,900 Miles Shown, Street Legal and Registered, Only Ever in
Civilian Use, Same Owner Since 1995, Dual Front Night Vision Lights
From what we have been told from several experts and the owner, this particular 1993 HMMWV is one of the few trucks that was produced on the military assembly line but then outfitted with a civilian interior. Very few trucks were ever produced like this, as they were only produced in limited numbers for two years. The factory would stop the production line and intercept the military truck and then fit it with the interior and street legal lights. It was the first time in American history that civilians could buy a military vehicle directly off the assembly line.
The civilian options were leather seating, air conditioning, and a stereo. This truck was originally ordered by a military contractor who supplied bedding to the armed forces. He bought the truck for his own personal use. He then sold it in 1995 to my client, a former military police officer. The truck was converted to military police spec and painted in Fort Bragg pattern camo. It shows just 21,900 miles and has been very well maintained by its enthusiastic current owner. It has only ever seen civilian use, and in fact gave tours of West Point and led cadets there for years. It features dual front night vision lights. It is in extremely nice condition. It is street legal and currently registered for road use.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a significant HMMWV as trucks optioned this way do not often come up for public sale. It has great provenance. Its only two owners were both involved with the military and truck has such low miles and is in unmolested original condition. It is equipped with dual front night vision lights.
The civilian headlights and taillights are boxed and available for sale with the vehicle. The trailer pictured is not available for sale.
History of the HMMWV:
Introduced
in 1985 by AM General, the High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle
(HMMWV) is was the replacement vehicle for the M151 series jeeps. Better
known as the HUMVEE, or Hummer in civilian form, HMMWV's mission is to
provide a light tactical vehicle for command and control, special
purpose shelter carriers, and special purpose weapons platforms
throughout all areas of the modern battlefield. It is supported using
the current logistics and maintenance structure established for Army
wheeled vehicles. The HMMWV is equipped with a high performance diesel
engine, automatic transmission and four wheel drive that is air
transportable and droppable from a variety of aircraft. The HMMWV can be
equipped with a self-recovery winch capable of up to 6000 pound 1:1
ratio line pull capacity and can support payloads from 2,500 - 4,400
pounds depending on the model. The HMMWV is produced in several
configurations to support weapons systems; command and control systems;
field ambulances; and ammunition, troop and general cargo transport.
The
HMMWV is the world standard in light military trucks. It is
lightweight, high performance, four wheel drive, air transportable &
droppable, land mobility system. The family includes utility/cargo,
shelter carrier, armament carrier, ambulance, TOW missile carrier and
scout-reconnaissance configuration. Payload varies by body style ranging
from 1920 lbs on the 4 litter ambulance to 5300 lbs on limited
availability Expanded Capacity variant, but is generally in the 5/4T
range. A basic armor package is standard on the Armament and TOW missile
carrier models. A more heavily armored, or Up-Armor HMMWV, is now being
produced in limited quantities, primarily for the Scout Platoon
application. Special supplemental armor versions have been developed for
USMC requirements; unique model numbers designate these configurations.

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car. R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln. Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2011 MEV Hummer HX - Click above to watch the video after the jump The 2008 Hummer HX concept was supposed to be General Motors' answer to the Jeep Wrangler. To put it mildly, that failed to materialize. General Motors killed Hummer as part of its bankruptcy-induced limb severing in 2009, before the HX could be brought to fruition as the H4, as had been rumored. For those of you who wish the HX had indeed surfaced, we have some excellent news: My Electric Vehicle, or MEV, has appropriated the HX concept, added an electric drivetrain and created the MEV Hummer HX. The MEV HX is a fully electric golf cart resort vehicle, licensed by GM and sporting Hummer wheels and skid plates.
Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands. Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
