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's reasonable to assume that (just like everything else these days) it would be much more expensive today.
Sitting in the military trailer which is included in the purchase price you'll find some very valuable military Humvee spare parts such as doors, wheels and tires.
Because of its authenticity this exact vehicle has been a favorite with Hollywood movie studios. When the collection purchased the vehicle we were told it’s been in the movie “Basic” with John Travolta. The previous owner also told us it's been in the movie "Siege” with Bruce Willis.
In conclusion, we feel this is a fabulous opportunity for someone who fully appreciates the real thing rather than a Hummer that a person has made up to look like the real thing.
Asking price was $47,500 which we thought was an extremely reasonable place to start but, we've decided to reduce the price by $5,000 dollars now down to $42,500. Without question an excellent bargain at this price.
