2006 HUMMER H3 Lot 386 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

1997 AM GENERAL HUMMER H1 Lot 1578 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company


That H3 is a scrap title and the H1, you could buy off any lot for 38...this particular one I looked at, it had a flat black maco paint job over yellow...the fact that I know it was yellow from the 2 minutes it took me to walk around the vehicle attests to the painter's attention to detail and commitment to quality LOL

Probably because it wasn't painted......it was 'wrapped'. Re-read the writeup.

Considering the Batmobile that was made of bondo, plastic, and bailing wire went for over 4 million dollars, I'd say your two were at least in the ball-park.

I attended the barrett Jackson also this year. Every car there is no-doubt in perfect, first class condition. The car I was most impressed with was the Mercedes 300 sl.

I have to disagree, every car is good, but perfect they are not, there was a 70 chev long box that looked like someone's daily driver, there were several chevelle ss clones that had not great new paint, one that the guy had spray painted the seatbelt clips black but it was chipping and the red was showing through. If you only go Saturday and you only stay in the auction area I can understand how you'd feel that but no way was every car perfect or first class, there are several cars that sell on Tuesday and Wednesday for under 10 grand, these are the good cars, the weekend they sell the perfect cars.

And as for the wrap comment, I was there, my hands were on it. It is extremely difficult to paint an H1 due to the creases and rivets. To do it right is about 30,000... this car was painted not wrapped, and the paint was not well done.

Well...if the sellers didn't know what they were talking about about with the wrap, maybe the write-up was wrong about the $66k price tag too. I'm just going by the information that YOU posted!

The H3 was a GM concept / SEMA show car and that's why it doesn't have a title. It was sold once before at Barrett-Jackson back in 2009

I realize why it was a scrap title "MAY NOT BE DRIVEN ON PUBLIC ROADS. THIS VEHICLE WILL BE CONVEYED TO BUYER WITH A "SCRAP" TITLE" But that price for something that may not be driven on public roads, is 7 years old and is the weakest H3 platform and hasn't been upgraded to be off road capable is crazy IMHO. You can find an 08 with better upgrades for that price.

Hey, defend these guys all you want, I thought it was extravagant, maybe you don't, good on ya, plenty of people have more money than sense. I wish I did.
