GovDeals, Inc., a Liquidity Services LQDT marketplace, is offering for sale a rare batch of AM General HMMWVs to the general public.


Currently, there are 10 separate units of the 1995-built M1025A2 Humvees available to interested buyers and are classed as GMV (ground mobility vehicles). Originally designed to mount the TOW antitank missile system, these heavy-duty off-road HMMWVs have been upgraded from the standard version to the Armament Carrier Class, a modification unique to this vehicle model.

Liquidity Services and its affiliated marketplaces are the only authorized sellers of this model HMMWV to the public due to it limited supply and exceedingly rare configuration.

Additional upgrades and specifications for each HMMWV up for bid include:

  • Higher-powered, 8-cylinder GM diesel engines, upgraded from a 6.2L to a 6.5L
  • 4LE80 4-speed transmission
  • Heavy-duty drivetrains, upgraded of the typical 3-speed drivetrain
  • Upgraded Rod Hall suspension
  • Additional features such as brush guards and winches on select vehicles

"With so many options for upgrades and customizations on these Humvees, we are excited to see what our buyers will do with them," said David Gibson, senior director of operations for Liquidity Services. "We are honored to be able to offer them to the public."

All HMMWVs up for auction are currently located in Chambersburg, Pa. Current condition, a detailed inspection form and the registration documents are available on each vehicle auction page, and video footage of select units is available as well.

The current auctions are available until the auction-end date of March 13. More HMMWVs will be added for auction weekly, providing additional opportunities for eager buyers to call one of these military-grade vehicles their own, though inventory is limited.

Buyers interested in bidding on a Humvee must be a registered bidder with GovDeals. Registration is free and can be completed by visiting govdeals.com/Register.
