Mods stop changing thread title!

(MODERATORS STOP CHANGING MY TITLE FOR THIS THREAD!)
What is so bad about (The day of sadness.......?) it's sad in my eyes that an American made icon can not be sold here in the USA!
Mods if my title makes you for some reason want to run to your safe space and change my title, let me know before you do it. The title is in ZERO way offensive. This is a military vehicle forum BUCK UP!

China....

 

[Scar59]

At least they're made in America.

 

[swbradley1]

One of our better exports.

True and true but Americans cant have them from what I was reading....

Seems like the law makes an exemption for REPRODUCTIONS if they're over 25 years old.

Maybe the current state of liability lawsuits - and added cost to the mfr. - makes selling in the US cost-prohibitive.

 

[Awol]

It's got an LS9 in it?

Sweet!

What I can't find out is why we can't buy them for off-road...

This sounds familiar...

Every swinging Richard with more money than sense would buy them for off road and immediately seek a path to register them. History has already proven that fact.

Absolutely not a day of sadness IMHO.

Start a grass roots to allow people to buy this American Made product.

Create a petition OUTSIDE of this forum, and then see if the owner of this forum will allow circulation here.

Once the press gets a hold of the fact that this distinctly AMERICAN vehicle is made here but not allowed to be purchased here, the press will latch on.

I would ABSOLUTELY buy one if made legally available.

MHO, and I hope this does not step out of line with what is permitted here in the Steel Soldier's forum.

If Am-General hasn't made it happen with all their lawyers , then little ol me wouldn't have a chance in **** changing the gov mind....

First off I'm not one of those swinging Richards and I'd totally use it for off-road....

Evidently they're making H1's again, if you're into that sort of thing...
Sounds like a lot of them are going to go to China, maybe they're trying to destroy China slowly with smog. You won't be able to get one here though. Maybe if you put in a Tesla drive train...

Full transparency: I wouldn't buy one. H1s were far too expensive for me when they circulated around, so H1 round 2 would still be too expensive for me. Surplus is the right price and the right equipment level for me. I do agree that I wish they could be available for those with the pocket book for them, but I guess that's what the C-series is for.

WireFox send me a link where I can buy a C-series... They don't sell them in the US of A...

So they never came to fruition here? Well, in that case, defer to the first part of the last sentence I wrote: I wish they would be available for those with the pocket book for them.

Have someone in China buy one and then ship it here as a gray market import, they'll probably be on Ebay in a few months. I can't even imagine how many yuan it's gonna cost some Chinese neuvo riche jerk-off to buy a 25 yr. old HMMWV. But then we've been buying all the crap they have made for the last 50 years so they could get rich enough to buy our unuseable stuff. Bless Amurca ! ! !

I really don't need one that bad! Last thing I need to do is pay a Chinamen big bucks for an AMERICAN Humvee!
They can keep em! I spend way to much time and money on mine already!
