A email ???from DLA Disposition Services
DLA Disposition Services is conducting a real study looking into selling thousands of 1980-2000 HMMWVs to the public through contractors who will certify DOT specs. A ways off, but could happen:
"The DOD expects to excess several thousand HMMWV vehicles in next two years. Until this point the organization where I am employed has destroyed the chassis of damaged vehicles to preclude any civilian use. However given the large quantities to intact vehicles we expect to receive, we would like to evaluate the possibility of selling these vehicles to a commercial concern to convert them to civilian specifications. These vehicles were produced by AM General from 1980-2000. AM General (and later General Motors) produced a street-legal version under the “Hummer” brand during this period. We expect to issue a request for interested parties to submit proposals in the near future. Please be aware that we are not interested in sales of small quantities to collectors or hobbyists, but rather to qualified conversion companies interested in large quantities for conversion to “street-legal” configuration and resale.
Prior to this announcement, request you poll your membership for any commercial entities that meet the above requirements and could help us gauge interest in this project. Any technical data on conversion process and costs your members possess that would allow us to better evaluate this option would be appreciated. We have already contacted AM General for their input.
Let me re-emphasize that we have not yet made any decision to proceed with this offering."
