That is pretty cool. A buddy of mine had one of those, but he said that parts would fail on it pretty regularly, and he ended up selling it.

i saw one that had 26k on it, i wonder why they are so cheap? I would totally drive one if i had the money

I saw a bunch with even less mileage that that. Most seemed to have less that 30k miles, but that's also all off road mileage and they are all nearly 30 years old. It's also an auction with 5 days to go, I bet the better ones will go up in price quite a bit towards the end of the auction.

Dart actually had a huge auction a couple of months ago and you could get a mid-90's dart bus with less than 50k miles on them for around $1000.

The Humvees are being retired from service to they were going to just be scrapped but a company stepped in and said they'd sell them and the gov. gets 75% of the sale price. They also do not come with a title, although they have changed things so you can get a form to fill out and get a title for it. Another hurdle is they are not street legal in most states and apparently they do not have model years assigned to them so it's a little difficult for states to determine what regulations they need to meet. Cali being the example sighted in the article I read, there's currently so way for them to meet any emission requirements.

This is not the only auction. They have several thousand of them and are auctioning them off in small batches.

You have to de-boobytrap it yourself.

Club bus! We could take about 1/2 of it and make room to haul bikes and junk, leave the front half as is.

[JTChiTown]

Yeah those are mainly going to be farm trucks, they don't make good drivers anyways.

Now if I had 45,000 acres and need something just as capable as a side by side but man sized, it'd be one of these.

Now a Hummer H1, that's something I can get behind. And before anyone says they're the same, they aint. About like saying a 1500 Silverado is the same as a 3500 dually silverado.

[LonestarCBR]

They're the same.

They're the same.

That's what the owners of Motoliberty did. That big motoliberty bus they use to haul their stuff to various shows and tracks is like a late 60's retired greyhound bus that they got and gutted out. They even put a couple of bunk beds in it for the overnight trips.

The original Hummer and the Humvees were built on the same assembly line and were identical till they split to have the civilian interior installed and painted.

This would be appropriate.

Yeah, it's perfect!!!.... for the triumph riders in the group, except it needs a trailer to pull their bikes behind it.

[milesmiles]

Well I know who won't be getting to ride on the bus with us!

[stoney812]

The rest of the group who will be riding their bikes, since they run? Except Polokid.. I guess he's gotta be nice so he can hitch a ride with ya on the short bus.

[BeautifulDisaster]

Not very comfortable, but, considering some of the off roading we've been doing, we may need one.

There isn't much room on short buses. I don't think he will complain about it.

That there would be the Broken Down Kawasaki Retrieval Bus.

I have not seen a single Triumph hauled home from a ride.

Heck, I crashed mine at it popped right up on it's own and said "get up dumbass, we're not done".

Pretty sure that "End Use Certificate Required" part relates to civilians not being able to buy them. I bet they can only go to LEOs or fire stations or something.

[LonestarCBR]

I can make anyone who needs it a really fine looking End Use Certificate.

[Stardog]

I think that that is a document that says "Rhino is buying this for Rhino, and Rhino has no intention of transferring it to the Tamil Tigers".
