Vehicle Description
Looking for a unique-looking ride capable of turning heads on the
street while providing all kinds of good times conquering more
rugged terrain? This 1988 AM General M998 Humvee has you covered.
Built by the same esteemed manufacturer trusted by the military for
its 4-wheel drive military truck and utility vehicle needs, this
open-air workhorse has only logged about 30,000 miles and is ready
to take you on miles and miles worth of future adventures - whether
they take place on the asphalt or on paths less travelled.
With its unusually wide track - it's just under two feet wider than
most Land Rovers - and substantial ground clearance, chewing up and
spitting out whatever lies in front of this Humvee comes as second
nature. Upon first glance you can see its resemblance to its more
domesticated counterparts seen on the road, but this is the
"straight, no chaser" version - it's not really meant to confer
status (though indirectly it DOES do just that) but rather to
dependably perform its service by tackling whatever comes its way.
In spite of the obvious temptation to take this through some
seriously unforgiving territory, it's held together well. You may
find some badges of honor to chronicle its journeys on its rugged
exterior, but nothing that would diminish your enthusiasm, and its
blue rhino textured paint is another aspect that will allow this
very appealing workhorse to stand out in a crowd.
As it's wide open both on the sides and on top, the interior is on
full display and you can see that it, just like the rest of the
vehicle, is all about rugged, utilitarian functionality - the
Humvee is a purpose-built military vehicle, after all. With the
exception of the dash area, the interior features the same
distinctive rhino textured blue paint featured outside and gray
cushions set over the automotive equivalent of box springs make up
the seating up front - you can't get more rugged than that. The
transmission tunnel is unusually broad - there's a good three feet
separating driver and passenger - and as the tunnel gives way to
the dash area up front, you'll find the well-preserved badging
attesting to this vehicle's authenticity. The bed area in back
offers all kinds of cargo space - the boxed-shaped wheelhouses are
set so far apart you could likely fit another vehicle between them.
In front of the aftermarket steering wheel, the instrument cluster
houses a quintet of gauges that are both easily readable and still
functional.
With its substantial displacement and diesel-fueled design, the 6.2
liter V8 sitting in the engine bay has all the stump-pulling torque
you'd need to conquer any obstacles that may lie in your path. It's
in strong running condition, teaming with a 3-speed automatic
transmission as surefooted 4-wheel drive capability stands within
easy reach. There are power disc brakes at all four corners, so an
afternoon's worth or more of spirited stopping will be no problem
as this automotive icon rolls forward on its set of sizable black
painted stock wheels outfitted with Goodyear Wrangler tires. A look
below at the undercarriage will confirm that it's come through the
years in strong fashion.
