The Humvee dates back to 1983 when the Pentagon awarded AM General Corporation a $1 billion production contract to develop 55,000 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV). That acronym became the nickname Humvee, and the name and the vehicle saw plenty of action in the 1989 invasion of Panama and the subsequent Persian Gulf War. Civilians were able to get their hands on it when the Hummer was released in 1992, and later, General Motors purchased the rights and released the Hummer H2, a puny vehicle that only weighed about 6,000 pounds, as opposed to the original 8,000.
This custom-winged version is merely an echo of that original Humvee vehicle. Along with significantly reshaping the body, they added a 2019 Ram 1500 front end and two Porsche Cayenne subframes, then painted it all in a matte Military Green. Inside, you’ll find a starlight roof, a skull-shaped gear shifter with a little army helmet on its head and a bullet shell in its mouth, and a smartphone-linked system that remotely controls the start, lights, and the horn and turn signals. This is about as apocalypse-ready as you can get. For those looking to drop $825,000, it’s on sale at the Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson auction.
