This AM General Humvee is an imposing example of the military utility vehicle, equipped with a soft-top roof and some desirable modifications. Under the bonnet sits the 6.2-litre GM ‘Detroit Diesel’ V8, driving all four wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission with high and low range gearing. In 1983, AM General Corporation was awarded a production contract for 55,000 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV). Nicknamed the Humvee, the vehicles were used by the U.S. military in the Persian Gulf War during the early 1990s. After the Gulf War ended, AM General modified the military-specification M998 Humvee for the civilian marketplace, and named the road-legal version the ‘H1’ – but this vehicle is the ‘real deal’ military version. The odometer shows 18,783 miles, though this is not warranted. Features of the Humvee include inboard brakes and portal gears, which position the drivetrain's half shafts higher for greater ground clearance. It can reportedly ford 30 inches (76 cm) of water and climb a 22-inch (56 cm) step, while ground clearance is around 16 inches (41cm). This Humvee originally had a camouflage finish, though it was resprayed in red over black, with a black soft-top roof and black wheels, which are shod with Goodyear Wrangler MT Kevlar tyres. Inside, it has black leatherette upholstery, a green steering wheel and dashboard panel, and additional wood trim. Equipment includes new Smittybilt seats, a Bluetooth-equipped BOSS audio system, a Federal Signal Corporation PA300 Series emergency siren, a Deltran battery tender, two new batteries, and zip-operated plastic side windows. Accompanying the vehicle will be its military field manual, the original toolkit and wheel chocks, some touch-up paint, and its import and compliance documents. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The most recent service was in September 2022 at Blacktown Automotive, when technicians replaced the fluids, consumables, and both batteries. The car reportedly benefited from scheduled quarterly maintenance with Finley Motors of Bismarck, North Dakota, before being imported to Australia. This AM General Humvee is an imposing military 4x4, with a soft-top roof and an updated cabin, which is fitted with a Bluetooth-equipped BOSS audio system. It would now make a fun companion for off-road adventures, a rugged and dependable workhorse, or an eye-catching car show companion.
