Vehicle Description
By this point, it's probably become second nature to type up
www.RKMotors.com and scope some of the coolest classics on the
planet. But, occasionally, we like to get a little crazy and make
sure you're still paying attention. Hey, a gearhead is a gearhead,
right? We love ALL kinds of people movers. That's why we're sure
you'll dig this choice turbo diesel Hummer! Sporting an easy 24,847
miles, this awesome H1 is a tough, mil-spec warrior that doubles as
a suave boulevard stunner. And if you're ready to enjoy a serious
ute with serious chops, it's your chance to claim some outsized
cool!
GREEN WITH ENVY
Nearly every iconic off-roader has a cult following, but the
legendary H1 is arguably one of the most sought after 4x4s of all
time. Introduced in 1992 as a civilian-friendly version of AM
General's M998 Humvee, the H1 remained the foundation of the Hummer
brand for close to 20 years. This 1996 model wraps all that worldly
swagger in a smooth coat of Emerald Green 2-stage that's
highlighted by tasteful tan pinstriping. At the front of that
pigment, an impressive 72 degree approach angle leads an optional
Warn winch, which founds tough tow hooks beneath a broad brush
guard, Dick Cepek driving lamps and a snazzy GE searchlight. Behind
those torches, an HMMWV hood leads the eye to a color-keyed
snorkel, which fronts chip-free glass that's flanked by matte
wipers, a small cargo lamp and foldable mirrors. Those mirrors
reflect extruded doors and HMMWV quarters, which recess small
marker lamps above a massive 16 inches of ground clearance. Between
those quarters, a covered cargo hold spills through a "HUMMER"
branded tailgate. And that tailgate shades a frame-mounted hitch, a
quartet of Jerrycans, two more tow hooks and an impressive 37.5
degrees of departure angle.
DIESEL AND MUSCLE
Tilt this Hummer's hood and you'll find 6.5 liters of familiar GM
Turbo Diesel. Still bolted into HMMWVs by AM General, that proven
mill trades clich� power numbers for a livable combination of
commonality and reliability. As the first light duty diesel to
feature electronically controlled fuel injection, the engine
provides steady, torque-rich acceleration to a stable, 86.5 inch
track. At the front of that track, a massive radiator is mounted
high, and on an angle, to optimize cooling while minimizing
vulnerability. Dual batteries are raised next to a sealed air box
to allow the safe fording of 30 inches of water. Behind the engine,
an HMMWV frame tucks a flush driveline that, with the help of a
proven GM 4L80E 4-speed, enables the truck to climb a 22-inch step
and handle 60 percent grades. Power-assisted steering makes turns
manageable. Power-assisted HMMWV discs are mounted inboard for the
sake of durability. Two fuel tanks offer extended-range travel. And
at the corners, polished alloys wrap massive 37x12.50R16.5 Goodyear
Wrangler MTs around an optional Central Tire Inflation System.
SURPRISINGLY OPULENT
When you step up to this level, trucks are all about combining the
best elements of comfort and utility. That's why it's so refreshing
to hop in the cab of this purposeful but nicely appointed Hummer.
The stars of the show are cloth ISRI buckets, which frame a small,
rearward-facing bench. In front of those thrones, a 2-tone dash
hangs intricate telemetry next to modern climate control. At the
sides of that dash, simple door panels front modern power windows
and modern power door locks. The driver rules the road through a
"HUMMER" branded steering wheel, which laps studious Cruise Control
and a tilting column. And a remote-controlled Alpine CD player
drowns the drone through a Bazooka bass tube and crisp Rockford
Fosgate speakers.
