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 a vehicle to replace the original Jeep, they turned to AM General’s Humvee, which has now seen decades of service on the front line. And while there have been unmistakable civilian offshoots, such as the Hummer H1 and H2, nothing can beat the presence of the original military machine, And that’s exactly what we’re offering you here with this 2009 Humvee M1123 4-Door that has been fully restored and modified by Plan B Trucks. Far from this truck being a lightly spruced-up example, it’s virtually ready to go back into battle, with new armor plating, a riot control system, and even armored gun ports in each door. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg — read on to find out more.
Is there anything as iconic as the original Humvee? We’d wager that when it comes to military-inspired off-roaders, the Humvee manages to top the lists of “most recognizable silhouettes.” That’s because the Humvee has become the modern face of the armed forces’ transport needs — not just for the U.S. military but many others around the world. And, of course, many AM General Humvees are now in civilian use. They’re loved for their battle-proven hardiness, simplicity, and reliability. Our featured 1997 American General Humvee, however, isn’t just any Humvee. It’s been customized to stand out, with an impressive paint job and a big-power sound system — there’s likely nothing on the market like it.
The Humvee was as revolutionary for the US Military as the original Willys Jeep was. Designed to replace the aging Jeep, the US armed forces required something with more power, versatility, and better protection. The Humvee was devised for this very challenge and has since become synonymous with heavy-duty service around the globe. If you’re looking at getting your own taste of this battle-proven SUV, then your best bet is to pick up an original decommissioned Humvee. What we have here is a 2006 AM General Humvee M1097R1 that has also been modernized for civilian use. It’ll get you to and from the shops and will still manage to do a dessert trial along the way—if you’re so inclined.
In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.
There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs are making a comeback. And I don’t mean the mall crawlers that misfire when they drive up a road with too many leaves, I mean proper SUVs. Dessert trailblazers that could cross countries without breaking a sweat. This 2022 Ford Bronco Hennessey VelociRaptor with just 21,000 miles is the perfect companion for such excursions. The Bronco is an icon amongst Ford enthusiasts and when they brought the name back in 2021 after a long hiatus, there were high expectations, and boy did they deliver.
