John Clay Wolfe and Richard Rawlings Make History Selling Humvee for $825,000 at Barret-Jackson Auction

Behind-the-Scenes Video Debuts March 23

DALLAS, March 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — John Clay Wolfe, president/founder of GIVE ME THE VIN and national radio host, partners with Richard Rawlings, owner/founder of Gas Monkey Garage and media personality, on the sale of a 6×6 Hellcat customized Humvee. It recently sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $825,000, breaking the all-time price record for any full-size SUV category. The Humvee also generated 154 million views on a single Instagram reel, making it one of the most viewed posts on the platform.

 

Wolfe created a behind-the-scenes video of how this single car deal, which made him and Rawlings $675,000, involved large sums of cash being hand-delivered, being turned down by Barrett-Jackson and then ending up on the auction block at primetime, weed eating a top-secret runway, lots of beer, car math and the twist on who bought the Humvee. It debuts today at the conclusion of The John Clay Wolfe Show at 12pm CT on YouTube at: John Clay Wolfe Show.

Wolfe comments, “This was one of the most adrenaline inducing, risky, fun and lucrative deals on a single car that I’ve ever been involved in. We made the car a celebrity, which is exactly what Danton Arts Kustoms wanted us to do. We set the bar high for our next one!”

Rawlings adds, “I knew the wicked cool Humvee that Danton Arts built was going to be huge, but this blew all my wildest expectations. Stay tuned because we’re all doing it again soon!”
