Armored Hummer H2 for $295,000

Have you ever wondered what you'd have to do to a Hummer H2 in order to make it worth $300,000? Apparently, this.

Yes, that's right: This is a 2009 Hummer H2 currently listed on Autotrader with an asking price of $295,000. It's not the miles that make it worth so much, although they're impressive -- just 3,460 from new. It's also not the condition, though that's pretty impressive, too. No, it's the fact that this H2 is completely armored.

According to the listing -- this H2 is offered by a private seller in, unsurprisingly, Florida -- modifications include quarter-inch steel plating designed to cover AK-47 rounds. There's also an armored battery, an armored radiator box and a bullet-resistant fuel-tank cover, along with run-flat tires, reinforced pillars, a public-address system and siren and armored door seams. But none of these items are my favorite piece of protection.

That honor can be found in back, as this H2 features -- this is completely true -- 2-by-2 bench seats in back that are designed, according to the listing, "for agents." It also includes a "stowaway logistics table," and the single best thing of all: gun ports on each side, plus one in the rear. In other words, this H2 isn't just armored: If you have agents riding in back and enjoying their stowaway logistics table, they can actually return fire against enemies.

The ad also says this H2 took nearly 3 months to fully armor, and it's being sold by a military veteran who's downsizing his security services company. I have to admit, it's kind of cool. It's also probably overkill. But regardless of your opinion, one thing is for certain: There are probably some great stories in those 3,460 miles.
