2008 AM General M1165A1 GMV Humvee / HMMWV
Rare Military GMV | Clean Texas Title | 11K Miles | Rod Hall Suspension
$69,500 OBO
📍 Liberty Hill, Texas
Selling my 2008 AM General M1165A1W/B3 Standardized Ground Mobility Vehicle (GMV) with approximately 11,000 indicated miles, a clean Texas title, and current on-road registration.
This is an authentic former U.S. Marine Corps GMV, not a standard surplus Humvee converted to resemble one. It retains significant original military-installed equipment, including the Rod Hall extreme-duty suspension, onboard air compressor, specialized GMV running boards, infrared lighting, 12,000-lb WARN recovery winch, and heavy-duty front brushguard assembly.
The vehicle has been restored using original military components, runs and drives well, and has recently received several functional upgrades, including a military tachometer and deep-water fording package.

PERFORMANCE
The upgraded 6.5L turbocharged diesel powertrain delivers 380 lb-ft of torque at approximately 1,700 RPM, paired with a heavy-duty four-speed automatic transmission, two-speed transfer case, and geared hubs.
The result is a truck with impressive low-end pulling power and responsive acceleration for its size and weight. It gets into its torque quickly and moves with considerably more authority than the older naturally aspirated Humvees.
The Rod Hall extreme-duty suspension further distinguishes this vehicle, providing a purpose-engineered suspension system designed for demanding military use and improved performance over challenging terrain.
This isn’t just a standard military Humvee with a few accessories added. It’s a specialized GMV platform with a drivetrain and suspension engineered for demanding off-road operations.
DOCUMENTED MILITARY PROVENANCE
This GMV comes with official U.S. Department of Defense documentation establishing its military history and authorized release into civilian ownership.
The vehicle was released through the U.S. Marine Corps vehicle sales program.
Its government documentation includes:
– Defense Logistics Agency Trade Security Controls assessment
– Official DoD demilitarization waiver
– U.S. Marine Corps vehicle identification
– Original GovPlanet/IronPlanet auction and release records

The January 2025 DoD documentation specifically identifies this vehicle and references its authorized sale.
Copies of the official military release documentation are included with the vehicle.
NOTES ON THIS GMV
Most surplus Humvees available to civilians are standard utility or troop-carrier variants. Many vehicles advertised as GMVs are civilian conversions using aftermarket accessories.
This vehicle began as an M1165A1W/B3 military platform and retains substantial specialized GMV equipment.
Some of the most significant components, particularly the original Rod Hall suspension system and specialized GMV hardware, are difficult and expensive to source independently.
Its specialized equipment is documented in the U.S. Special Operations Command technical manual for the M1165A1W/B3 Standardized GMV.
Combined with its documented military provenance, exceptionally low indicated mileage, restored condition, and clean Texas title, this is an unusual opportunity for a serious military-vehicle enthusiast, collector, or off-road buyer.
Additional photos and videos are available, including the engine compartment, suspension, undercarriage, interior, military equipment, and documentation.
