Description
Step into the driver’s seat of one of the most unique and rare businesses in America. For over 30 years, this business has restored and supplied collectible military utility vehicles — known as “Mules” — to a devoted customer base. These rugged, four-wheel drive, four-wheel steer machines were originally built for the U.S. military and are now prized for their authenticity, history, durability, and versatility.
This is an asset sale, priced at a fraction of value. Included in the sale:
$2M in vehicles (retail value, museum-quality)
$1.8M in parts inventory (retail value)

The Mules are highly sought after, not only by collectors and military enthusiasts, but also by ranchers, farmers, hunters, and property owners who need an all-terrain, low-profile workhorse that performs in harsh environments. Vehicles purchases are commonly customized with rifle mounts, expanded seating, and mission-specific add-ons. The business has employed multiple mechanics or technicians in the past, however the current operating plan utilizes only one trained mechanic. Order response time is certainly slower - at times reaching 18 months, but accepted by customers.
Rare and Appreciating Inventory
This is a finite and appreciating asset class. Twenty years ago, these vehicles sold for less than $14,000. Today, they routinely command $20,000–$26,000 — and values are only climbing. The business has grown through decades of consolidation and may now be the last business of its kind with this type of inventory and specialization.
The majority of orders are for parts, with consistent demand from owners and restorers. The vehicles, however, provide the bulk of the revenue and are in pristine, museum-worthy condition. Vehicle orders require a prepaid deposit to join the long waitlist, speaking to the scarcity and uniqueness of the vehicles.
Ideal Buyer
This business is a strong fit for:
Collectors or military vehicle enthusiasts looking to turn passion into enterprise
Automotive or restoration professionals seeking a niche product line
Outdoor equipment dealers targeting landowners, farmers, or tactical communities
Investors who recognize the appreciating value of rare, fixed-supply inventory
You don’t need to be a mechanic or historian to succeed — but an appreciation for military history or vehicles is a bonus. Seller will provide introductions to suppliers and a knowledge transfer.
