The Hummer H1 owes its existence to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who convinced American General to produce a civilian version of the iconic military Humvee. Introduced in 1992, the H1 quickly became a symbol of rugged capability, though its production numbers remained limited. Between 1992 and 2006, only 11,815 civilian H1s were made, including both gas and diesel models. The 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine, introduced in 1996, powered just 6,488 units until 2004. After a production pause in 2005, the final year saw the release of the H1 Alpha, featuring a 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine, with only 693 units produced. This makes the H1 a rare find and the ultimate old-school Hummer for enthusiasts. This particular 1997 AM General Hummer H1 HMCS, with 64,500 miles on the clock, offers a blend of original appeal and numerous upgrades, making it a standout example.
This Hummer’s maroon paint job, completed in 2011, still shines thanks to being driven less than 4,000 miles since the respray and its time spent in a climate-controlled garage. It rolls on impressive 22-inch Fuel Wheels wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar M/T tires, sized at 37x13.50R22. The original 16-inch CTIS aluminum wheels, complete with military tires, are included, and a CTIS operation video is available. The vehicle also features new leveling springs, which raise it 1.5-2 inches over stock for improved wheel clearance and ride comfort. Enhancing its practicality, this H1 is equipped with a Predator brush guard, a roof rack, a snorkel intake, and upgraded LED headlights, ensuring it stands out wherever it goes. Additional highlights include a hinged spare tire mounting bracket, with a spare wheel and tire equipped with CTIS included. Inside, the tan interior offers seating for four adults and benefits from a 1997.5 HVAC system upgrade, ensuring a more comfortable cabin experience. Modern conveniences abound, such as power windows, door locks, and mirrors, along with a power package that includes cruise control, visor mirrors, and a deluxe rearview mirror. Entertainment is provided by an Eclipse aftermarket head unit, offering HD Radio, CD, MP3, and WMA playback. Additional refinements include new carpeting throughout, aluminum switch holders, and interior door window switch bezels. For towing, this H1 is equipped with a trailer towing unit and an integrated towing brake controller, adding to its versatility as an all-around adventure machine.
Under the hood, this 1997 H1 boasts a 6.5L Turbo-Diesel V8 paired with a GM 4L80e 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering power to all four wheels via a 4WD system. The factory output of 210 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque gets a significant boost thanks to the RapTorq (Predator Motorsports) High-Performance ECM package, pushing the output over 100 horsepower beyond stock. Additional upgrades include a new turbo boost wastegate, new injectors, and a new fuel pump, ensuring this H1 has the muscle to back up its rugged appearance. In terms of off-road capabilities, this H1 features front and rear Torsen-type differentials, a lockable center differential, and helical gear-reduction hubs. Its in-board disc brakes and driveline protection add extra confidence during demanding terrain. The H1 also includes dual fuel tanks (25G and 17G) for extended range, and it benefits from extensive preventive maintenance completed in July 2024, ensuring it's ready for the next adventure. This meticulously maintained Hummer H1, complete with original owner's manual and a host of original and upgraded parts, is not just a powerful vehicle but a well-preserved piece of automotive history.

One of the most-known automotive silhouettes across the world is undoubtedly that of the 1995 AM General Hummer H1. If you're looking to add this military-inspired truck we have today, then this reportedly excellent example is available now. It is your best bet and has added treats to make your driving experience much more pleasant.
The Hummer H1 owes its existence to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who convinced American General to produce a civilian version of the iconic military Humvee. Introduced in 1992, the H1 quickly became a symbol of rugged capability, though its production numbers remained limited. Between 1992 and 2006, only 11,815 civilian H1s were made, including both gas and diesel models. The 6.5L Turbo Diesel engine, introduced in 1996, powered just 6,488 units until 2004. After a production pause in 2005, the final year saw the release of the H1 Alpha, featuring a 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine, with only 693 units produced. This makes the H1 a rare find and the ultimate old-school Hummer for enthusiasts. This particular 1997 AM General Hummer H1 HMCS, with 64,500 miles on the clock, offers a blend of original appeal and numerous upgrades, making it a standout example.
The Hummer H1 is the result of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s persuasion for AM General to make a civilian variant of the tough and battle-ready military Humvee. Of course, one does not simply say no to the Terminator, so AM General acquiesced. Produced between 1992 and 2006, a mere 11,800 units were made, making these cars highly desirable today. However, it’s unmatchable off-road, which is why if you’re a keen trail explorer, this 1995 Hummer H1 is the ideal companion. It’s got a healthy 93,400 miles but has received recent maintenance to keep it at peak performance levels.
When the US military needed something to replace the aging yet talented Willies Jeep, it switched to an equally capable and now perhaps even more legendary option: the American General Humvee. The Humvee has become a symbol of go-anywhere ability across the globe, seen in action on the battlefield and at home. If you’re a fan of military vehicles, then this 1986 American General Humvee M1025 is sure to appeal. With a host of choice modifications and a plethora of upgrades, it could just be one of the best options on the market.
The tough and versatile Humvee is the backbone of the American military forces, whether at home or abroad. Wherever there’s a war zone where America is helping out, or an American base, you’re bound to see these machines doing tireless, thankless work transporting troops around. The Humvee can take quite a beating while keeping its occupants safe and alive. That’s why when Humvees retire, they usually receive a thorough makeover. After all, there are plenty of grateful Americans waiting to own a slice of their country’s pride. Take this 2006 AM General Humvee M1097R1 Helmet Top as a prime example. With around 35,000 miles on the clock, this vehicle sports a unique helmet top that gives it a distinctive appearance. Let’s learn more about this vehicle.
Few SUVs are more recognizable than the iconic AM General Humvee, which saw military service for decades. Thousands of these vehicles were produced for the armed forces and deployed both at home and overseas. Many military SUVs find their way into the hands of private owners who appreciate these off-road behemoths for their rugged go-anywhere ability and near-indestructible credentials. If a Hummer H1 or H2 just doesn’t cut it, then a purpose-built AM General Humvee may be the only option — one just like what you see here. Complete with a repainted exterior and the Humvee’s iconic 6.5-liter diesel motor, this 2002 AM General Humvee M1123 could be yours.
The Land Rover Defender has gained a name for itself all over the world as a supremely capable off-roader. With a glorious history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the classic Defender maintains much of its ancestor’s styling cues. However, it’s vastly different under the skin. The Defender name came about in 1991 with two variants. The 90 variant was a short wheelbase two-door affair, while the 110 sported four doors and a longer wheelbase. The numbers do refer to the wheelbase size in inches. So, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has a 90-inch (approximate) wheelbase and is a two-door machine. The current owner tells us it’s received regular servicing and maintenance and a more powerful engine.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all. With excellent off-road credentials, the Tahoe could take the path less travelled, too. Now we’re on the fifth generation, but there are some fantastic older ones available too. Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off. It’s been well looked after, and in your care, can easily double or even triple that mileage without major woes.
It is apparent that an obvious recent trend in the car industry is the love for SUVs. People who have them, love them. People who don’t, want them. But perhaps SUVs of late are more suited to mall parking lots than a rough trail leading to a good fishing spot. Go back a few decades and you’ll find out what SUVs were really about. This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with just 93,000 miles on the odometer is not the vehicle you choose if you want to drive over the curbs at your local mall. This thing can take you to places other cars shiver at the mere thought of.
