Vehicle Description
1994 Hummer H1 Convertible
Desert Storm brought us into the battlefield with the nearly live
action TV coverage that was available on cable news. During said
coverage, the general public and in particular car aficionados took
notice of these go everywhere vehicles our troops were using known
as the Humvee. Their fascination led to a trend where AM General
corporation which supplied the M998 Humvee to the military got the
brainchild idea to make these trucks available to the public, and
this became the Hummer line produced in their Mishawaka, Indiana
facility.
For consignment a Hummer H1 civilian go anywhere, an onboard
compressor, 4 door with small rear cargo bed, wide stance, go into
3 feet of water, convertible version of the H1 Hummer from 1994.
This one is ceramic coated, has a 12,000 lb WARN winch, and Rhino
lined cargo bed. 3 yes count 'em... 3 roll bars for structural
support and passenger safety. Time to go crush something!
Exterior
A 14-inch ground clearance, and wide track stance that would make
any vintage Pontiac green with envy, this big boy toy 4x4 is bathed
in High Gloss Red, and ceramic coated to keep the gleam. A
protective crash bar protects the grille and sports cargo sling
lift D rings on front and rear. A flat perfectly vertical front
split windshield sits neatly behind the vented hood, and all body
panels are straight and minding their gaps. This truck is equipped
with a fording kit up to the bottom of the door windows which
allows the user to travel through 3 feet of water. A tough canvas
convertible top in tan color, which the consigner states is new,
has new window inserts to go with it. A canvas cover to match the
top, covers the rear bed which is also Rhino lined in red finish. A
large rear bumper with a towing package is affixed in black. CTIS
(central tire inflation system) has an onboard air inflation
compressor. Tires are "Super Swamper" for excellent off-road travel
in mud, snow or sand. Forward march!
Interior
A swing of the water sealed doors reveals a large molded panel with
a power door lock and door actuator together inserted into the
front of the door. A large pouch is available for extra storage and
is adhered to each door. Inside beautiful two-tone red tuck and
roll inserted vinyl panels blend with outer smooth black bolsters
and create the utilitarian yet comfortable seats. The back has dual
buckets, and front and back flank a massive wide center console.
The console, which is set up much like an 18-wheel tractor, has
multi levels, inserted heat and cool fan controllers, and a JVC
Cassette radio. Other gauges are also seen on this large console,
and the shift lever, 4x4 modes, and numerous cup holders are also
molded in. A black dash houses the instrumentation, as well as all
the toggles for lighting and wipers etc. Just like the big rigs
inside here! Nice clean tan carpet floods the floors and a nice
tight tan headliner is above. And lest we forget the 3 bar roll bar
system, all wrapped in tan vinyl which is padded. Plenty of
protection for the interior passengers above.
Drivetrain
A 6.5 Liter Turbo diesel powers through nearly anything mother
earth can throw at you. It has EFI and a 4L80E 4-speed automatic
transmission. A 5.24 final drive ratio drives the wheels, along
with the sturdy 4x4 transfer case with no leaks or drips. This big
diesel mill sits back in a clean engine bay and allows for better
weight distribution...gosh the military thinks of everything!!
Left...Left...Left Right Left!
Undercarriage
Solid as it should be, mostly surface rust free with 4-wheel
independent coil sprung suspension, and 4 wheel power disc brakes.
Used but definitely never abused can sum it up underneath. Ten
HUT!
Drive-Ability
Classic Auto Mall has had the pleasure of hosting many of this
consigner's collection, and this truck is awesome. It is 4x4 on
steroids firing right up, and that big diesel humming along gives
you the feeling of a go anywhere sound. We do not have a beach, or
a mountain, or even a stream to wade her into, but mechanically is
very sound, and drove nicely with the two tone seats and all those
big rig sequence controls giving this writer a feeling of
power...Sir...yes Sir!! Oh and A/C blows cold...SIR!
A nicely cared for all over vehicle, big diesel power, 4x4 to its
best performance, a wide track, and big knobbies with an onboard
compressor, two tone interior seating, and an auxiliary rear seat
to seat 4 if you have more friends that want to get their groove
on. "Climb every mountain!"
