A special edition GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U) will be auctioned off at the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach event, with 100% of the hammer price benefiting the Medal of Honor Foundation. The ISV-U is based on the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 but features a military-grade design, Duramax diesel engine, and off-road capabilities that allow it to be air-dropped or carried by helicopters.
Why it matters
This rare opportunity for a civilian to own a GM Defense military vehicle highlights the advanced engineering and versatility of these specialized platforms. The auction also supports the important work of the Medal of Honor Foundation in honoring America's military heroes.
The details
The ISV-U being auctioned is the utility-bodied five-seat version, featuring a 5.5-foot cargo box capable of carrying up to 3,200 pounds. It has a custom livery celebrating America's 250th anniversary and the U.S. Army units that use the ISV. While not street legal, the winning bidder will own a unique piece of military history.
- The ISV-U will be auctioned at the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach event on April 18 at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.
- The auction is taking place during the lead-up to America's 250th anniversary celebration.
The players
GM Defense

Medal of Honor Foundation
A non-profit organization that honors and supports recipients of the Medal of Honor, the United States' highest military decoration.
What’s next
The winning bidder of the ISV-U will need to ensure the vehicle is only used as an off-highway vehicle, as it is not certified for public road use.
The takeaway
The auction of this one-of-a-kind GM Defense ISV-U provides an exciting chance for a buyer to own a piece of military history while also supporting the important work of the Medal of Honor Foundation.
