The Humvee can also be purchased on the open market. For example, in 2014, the Department of Defense started selling used Humvees to the general public, and today you can buy one for a price range of $10,000 to $40,000.
Lamborghini Almost Put the Royal Hummer to Halt
It was close they drove a fancy Lamborghini 4x4, the kind of rugged vehicle American soldiers are often seen in a big, tough Lamborghini 4x4, rather than the more practical Hummer.
Renault Sherpa
It is utilized by multiple militaries globally, and has undergone various revisions over the years.
One of the easiest to find is the Sherpa 2 (later renamed the Sherpa Light), many examples of which can still be found on the market today. The Sherpa 2 was first introduced in 2006, and it is still in production. A Sherpa costs around $250,000, but ones that are older or in need of repairs may cost less.
Chieftain Mk10
The Chieftain tank was first unveiled in the early 1960s. It was notable for its potent main cannon and robust armor, and it remained a part of the British military's arsenal for nearly three decades. Several variations of the tank were introduced over the years; the Mk10 model became operational in the early 1980s.
5. **DuPont Motors**
Car manufacturers don't always focus exclusively on producing road cars. Sometimes manufacturers become involved in designing, building, and powering battle tanks.
Its name might be a bit of a mistake: the "Mk10" label was used to identify tanks that had previously been upgraded with the Stillbrew Package (which included added armor and protection), so there are Mk10 tanks that actually came before the '80s but still keep the Mk10 label. You can expect to pay around $80,000 for a fully working Chieftain tank, but a Chieftain that needs some repairs can usually be purchased for around $20,000.
Tucker Sno-Cat
You might find a Tucker Sno-Cat to be useful. The vehicle is more readily available than the others listed, since it was mass-produced for both the civilian and military markets. Unlike other snowcat designs, the Tucker Sno-Cat usually has four separate sets of tracks, a feature that distinguishes it from similar vehicles.
Beyond military operations, the Sno-Cat is often used in Arctic and Antarctic expeditions because of its ability to navigate harsh environments. Although the Sno-Cat is still manufactured today, you can find a mid-century model for as little as $15,000 on the used market.
M38A1 Jeep
This is perhaps the most famous military vehicle that eventually became a top-selling civilian model. Jeep's long history in the military began in World War II; this specific model was manufactured from the '50s to the '70s.
The Toyota That Was Influenced by Jeep and Became a World-Famous Brand
Long before it gained fame for its rugged off-road prowess, this Toyota was a clear Jeep imitation.
The Jeep is now a standalone brand, resulting from a complex series of mergers between companies, currently operating under the umbrella of Stellantis. An M38 Jeep can be purchased for anything from $5,000 to $20,000, given the model's wide age range that spans nearly 20 years.
Sherman Tank
Another tank that's earned a spot on our list is the legendary Sherman, which is synonymous with its starring role in World War II. Since then, the Sherman has made numerous appearances in film and television, often serving as a visual representation of war on the big screen.
Buying a Sherman of your own won't come cheap: a good condition Sherman can cost you around $250,000. If you're willing to settle for one that needs repairs, not a full restoration, you can bring the price down to around $50,000.
Supacat ATMP MkIV
A six-wheeled vehicle with a 1.6-ton cargo capacity, the origins of the Supacat's All-Terrain Mobility Platform date back to the mid-80s. However, the MK IV model was introduced in 2014. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, with proper documentation, it can even be licensed for on-road use. Still in production, the ATMP can be purchased for approximately $60,000 new, or a used model for as low as $10,000.
Thales Hawkei
This multipurpose vehicle can be used by the Australian military for transporting both troops and cargo, as well as for reconnaissance or command center roles. The Hawkei vehicle can carry up to six people and comes in two versions: two doors and four doors. It was first designed back in 2010, but production did not start until 2016.
The Department of Defense has made an accusation against a battery supplier of Ford and Tesla, claiming ties to the Chinese military.
It doesn't sound too good, and it's not very impressive, but it's not as bad as it seems.
The Hawkei is available for purchase by civilians in various regions, including the United States and Australia. However, the military features of this vehicle are heavily limited, similar to typical modern military vehicles that enter the civilian market. Its price tag is quite substantial, approximately $800,000.
Alvis Stalwart
This amphibious cargo vehicle was manufactured in the UK from the early 1960s until the early 1970s, but it continued to be used by the British military until the early 1990s. It could reach a top speed of 40 mph on land and about 7 mph on water. The Stalwart was not equipped with armor, given its purpose of carrying cargo, with its maximum capacity of transporting 11,000 pounds of cargo or 30 fully loaded troops at a time. If you're interested in owning this piece of British military history, some examples are available for sale to civilians, with a price tag around the $20,000 mark.
Dodge WC Truck
Used during World War II and the Korean War, a certain series of trucks, known as the WC Series, earned a reputation for its ruggedness and adaptability in combat situations. This series had a range of models (used for tasks like hauling cargo, transporting troops, and reconnaissance) and even included an ambulance. You can find WC series vehicles that need some work at around the $20,000 price point; however, prices for a fully restored WC series vehicle can reach up to $250,000.
