HUMVEE's now available for sale in USA

[Gord Bennett]

I have an original production year ('85) ex-USMC M998 that was caught-up in the original Marine Corps 'oops' auction back in 1999. I imported it here a few years ago from NC without much difficulty and it's fully registered for highway use here in Ontario. From what i understand there's only around a couple of dozen in all of Canada, the majority being out west. The humvees getting auctioned recently by the US Gov't all go with the strict stipulation that they can't ever be registered for on-road use. I'm sure a few of the highest bidders will somehow find a way around that, but the majority of the new owners will be stuck with expensive farm trucks or trailer queens. That said, if anyone up here decides to buy a humvee from south of the border on Ebay or whatever, make sure it's already titled/registered for highway use down there. Also, pay the extra and have a US-based exporter who's familiar with military vehicles take care of the US beaurocracy and ppwk for you.
