1986 USMC AM GENERAL HUMVEE H1(M1026)
WITH MATCHING ONE TON, TWO WHEEL TRAILER.
This vehicle has been part of a prominent collection in Scottsdale, AZ. that is being sold. I am the collection manager and I’ve been asked to represent this and all of the other vehicles in the collection.
This authentic military Humvee was purchased by the collection in 2000. At the time of purchase this is the info. that was provided to us.
Since purchased the collection has added a M2HB Browning 50 Cal Oxy/propane gunfire simulator. This is an authentic looking replica and size of a genuine 50 cal. machine gun. Made of metal and emits both fire and sound similar to the real thing but, ZERO projectile.
The replica 50 cal. was purchased from IRAC,INC. This is a 40 year old (plus) company that specializes in reproducing the finest quality replica military weapons for movies, museums and simulations. Since our purchase the company was acquired by Threat Tec, LLC. There replica guns are certified by the ATF as "non-guns," making them legal for public display and operation without being considered a firearm. On the internet you can find videos of simulated machine guns like this one in action.
Machine gun replicas of this quality, authenticity and functional capability are not inexpensive. Our recollection of the cost we invested was in the neighborhood of five grand not including the cost of the oxy/propane tanks or the labor to assemble and install it. It is reasonable to assume that (just like everything else these days) it would be more expensive today
Because of its authenticity this exact vehicle has been a favorite with Hollywood movie studios. It’s been in the movie “Basic” with John Travolta. It has also been in the movie Seige” with Bruce Willis.
In conclusion, I feel this is a fabulous opportunity for someone who fully appreciates the real thing rather than a Humvee made up to look like the real thing.
Asking $54,500
