This Hummer HMMWV/Humvee got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1997 AM General M1123 HMMWV was originally designed for use by the US military and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter diesel V8 linked with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck is finished in drab camouflage over green canvas upholstery, and additional equipment includes a camouflage soft top and doors, Truck-Lite LED headlights, recovery rings, a rear pintle hitch, Trail Worthy Fab 24-bolt beadlock wheels, portal axles, and inboard-mounted disc brakes. It was acquired by the seller in 2022 and is said to have been serviced with a replacement air filter, a coolant flush, an oil change, and transmission and differential fluid changes under current ownership. This M1123 HMMWV is now offered at no reserve in California with a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

The High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) went into production for military use in 1984, and the later M1123 variant was used primarily by the United States Marine Corps. This example is finished in drab camouflage and features a matching soft top and doors with zippered windows. Additional exterior details include USMC markings, Truck-Lite LED headlights, front and rear recovery rings, a rear pintle hitch, and rear mud flaps. There is no windshield wiper motor installed. Tears in the soft top have been patched, though the seller notes it is not watertight.
