Vehicle Description
One of America's most capable off-road military vehicles is the
Humvee produced by AM General starting in 1983 and continuing still
today. AM General is a heavy vehicle manufacturer that handles many
military contracts and the HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose
Wheeled Vehicle) or "Humvee" wasn't their first. AM Generals roots
go back to the combination of manufacturers including Standard
Wheel Company, Overland Automotive Division, Willys and Jeep. In
the 1940s Willys collaborated with Ford to develop Americas first
4-wheel drive quarter ton utility truck and with this the iconic
Willys Jeep was born. The Jeep served well in WW2 and after for
quite some time until the government wanted something more durable
and well suited for protection. AM General won the contract to
replace the Jeep that they already had a hand in making and began
to produce the jack of all trades, Humvee.
The first AM General Humvee variants instantly saw action with
America invading Panama in late 1989 and later saw widespread use
in the Gulf War the following year. Through its years of service
the Humvee has had many different set ups and saw new models come
forth after learning what to improve on. The M1123 Humvee was one
of these improved upon designs of the original. Outfitted with a
stronger engine, heavy duty suspension, overdrive transmission, and
a chassis designed for an increased payload capacity among many
other changes, the M1123 kept the Humvee alive for many more
years.
We are happy to represent this 2004 AM General M1123 Open Top
Humvee finished with an A-TACS Ghost camouflage wrap created by
Image 360. The interior was stripped down, cleaned and covered in a
full Matte Black liner from Liner Xtreeme. As this is a later M1123
Humvee, it is equipped with the desirable 4-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive. Powering this rugged 4-wheel drive
vehicle is a 6.5L diesel V8 producing 170 horsepower and an
impressive 440 lb. ft. of torque. Starting its life off being used
by the U.S.M.C. this Humvee was outfitted with a water fording kit,
no doors, and a simple interior.
During its restoration by a previous owner, Cobra Tek �" aluminum
doors with heavy duty powder coated hinges were installed along
with 4 Corbeau Neoprene waterproof seats with a bench seat in the
rear. Most of the water fording kit was removed but it still
features the snorkel air filter extended from the hood. This Humvee
features Method Racing 20" wheels wrapped in massive Maxxis RAZR MT
tires measuring 40x13.50R20. The aggressive looks are complemented
by customized LED headlamps, back-up lights, blue under hood lights
and inner fender lights that shine down by the tires making for a
remarkable presentation at night! Other features on this M1123
Humvee include power steering, heat/defrost, 3-point seatbelts,
4-wheel power disc brakes, Bluetooth stereo system, upgraded
interior switch panel, and plenty of towing hooks!
Documentation of some of the restoration can be seen on the YouTube
channel of the previous owner who bought this Humvee from Gov
Planet becoming the 1st civilian owner. It is fully titled and
registered for street use. Since its arrival at our sister company,
Hummerservice.com, we have replaced the glow plugs, fuel injectors,
coolant expansion tank, driver rear upper & lower ball joints along
with giving it a fresh oil change and filter in preparation for
sale. These are all-wheel-drive vehicles designed to handle the
rugged, offroad terrain during combat situations and will handle
anything you can throw at it. Thank you for your interest in this
beauty and beast of a truck and please contact us directly for
further information or come to our showroom for a closer look!
