World's FIRST 6x6 Humvee!!
It all started with a 2009 AM General Humvee shell left behind in a Wisconsin yard. In just 10 weeks, and under the creative direction of Danton and his crew, a vision of a six-wheeled, wide-body Humvee roared to life. The team shortened the doors, chopped the roof by about four inches, and built a custom chassis to support the transformation from a humble military machine to a road-going colossus. For the mechanical heart, they didn’t hold back: a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8, producing 717 horsepower, was mounted in the middle and paired with a 4L80E automatic transmission for maximum drama and tire-shredding potential.
It's not all about brute force either. The builders pulled out all the stops with a starlight roof, custom LCD instrument cluster, Wilwood brakes, and suspension and front end from a Dodge Ram 1500 for daily usability. Touches of military and race inspiration pop up everywhere: the vehicle sits on custom off-road wheels (with 245/40/20s up front and 305/35/24s at the rear), sports an actual aircraft wing as a rear spoiler, and features two Porsche Cayenne subframes. Matte military green paint and DuraLiner graphics provide a fitting finish, while a Porsche-derived exhaust completes the rolling riot.
Pushed by raw showmanship and relentless buzz on social media, with hundreds of million sof views in a matter of hours. The unique build managed to score a coveted Saturday night spot at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2024. Gas Monkey’s own Richard Rawlings, never one to pass up the spotlight, hustled to get the wild Humvee onto prime-time TV, a feat he’d never accomplished before. The gamble paid off at auction, the custom 6x6 commanded a staggering $750,000 hammer price (over $825,000 with fees), cementing its place as one of the most outrageous and valuable custom Humvees in history.
