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.
This 2006 AM General Humvee M1097R1 Helmet Top wears a tan coat, with a contrasting black helmet top for a truly eye-catching appearance. The current owner also reports the presence of four soft doors, plus a soft top with parts, all included in the sale of the vehicle. Then, there are new mirrors, new hood latches, LED headlamps, taillamps and turn signals, a license plate bracket with light, and an Airlift rear bumper. The interior of this 2006 AM General Humvee M1097R1 Helmet Top features keyed ignition for easier daily use. There are new all-weather seats, a new gas pedal assembly, and the characteristic Humvee dashboard plus gauge cluster. Creature comforts are far and few, so you can pick and choose what you’d like to outfit this vehicle with once you buy it. After all, that’s the beauty of a Humvee – it’s supremely adaptable.
Supremely adaptable, and supremely capable is what this 2006 AM General Humvee M1097R1 Helmet Top is. It’s got a 6.5L diesel V8 under the hood, paired with a GM 3L80 automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive with an integral transfer case. We’re told that there’s been a recent change of the oil, oil filter and other fluids. Then, the vehicle has received new glow plugs and a red top battery.

Big, bold and ready to go anywhere at any time was the mantra of the legendary Humvee. Born on the battlefield, the Humvee was a useful tool that helped troops navigate the rough and tough environments around it. The modern day marketplace sees a host of Humvee’s up for grabs, and the common trend is most of them are now fine tuned to be soft, user friendly versions – the old utilitarian rough and tough simply making its way out. However, present today is a throwback to the rough and tough and takes shape with this 2008 American General Humvee M1123.
Let’s talk about the difference between the Hummer H1 and the AM General Humvee. Since the Humvee was primarily intended for military use, AM General did not initially have plans to create a more comfortable and modest variant of the truck. Thanks to Austrian and American celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger, AM General was convinced to produce the first civilian version of the Humvee, the Hummer H1, in 1992. However, both Hummer and Humvee models were built separately and we often see consumers mistake the two vehicles for one since ex-military Humvees can be purchased by civilians as well. This example is reported to be an ex-military 2009 AM General Humvee that is currently located in California. It is great for rugged off-roading while hauling your everything and being one with your surroundings.
They were hooped into sling hooks and dropped off of planes, ready for the infantry to hop inside and engage in combat. No, we aren’t talking about a new Fast & Furious movie. It is the renowned military battle truck, the AM General Humvee. AM General did make road-going versions of it that were less aggressive and more soft and equipped for day-to-day use. However, what we have here is a military spec model; a 2008 AM General M1097 to be specific. It is a no-nonsense carrier that you can use for extreme off-roading or put into hauling work and it shows 57,200 miles on it.

Yes, we know we are called Exotic Car Trader, but sometimes we get rather quirky and distinctive machines like this 1991 BMY Harsco M931A2. Perhaps you could argue that it’s somewhat exotic in a different way. This interesting thing was built by Bowen McLaughlin York (BMY), a defense contractor that became United Defense Industries, and is now under the BAE Systems umbrella. With less than 3,200 miles on the clock, this interesting machine is now up for sale, and it’s, as you’d probably glean an off-road truck. No, not a pickup truck, but a proper heavy duty 5-ton truck. So if you’ve got a unique use case scenario that this vehicle can fulfill, contact us ASAP. Of course, if you just want to own something unique and head-turning, this vehicle is suitable for that purpose, too.
