Vehicle Description
The Hummer H1 is based off the US military's M998 Humvee released
by AM General in 1984, was officially offered for public
consumption on March 14th, 1992. With (slightly) more creature
comforts, this truck carried several engines over its lifespan,
with a 6.5L turbodiesel offered over the majority. Big changes came
about midway through 1997 production, improvements that included an
HVAC system providing more accessibility for easier servicing along
with a blower motor that moved air more efficiently through the
cabin. This was further enhanced with standard interior sound
insulation for better cabin volume levels. The turbo diesel engine
was also improved offering 5 additional horsepower and 45 ft. lbs.
of torque. This noticeable power increased total horsepower to 195,
and torque to 430 ft. lbs. and continued with the production H1's
through the 2003 model year. Truly the ultimate off-road vehicle
for consumer purchase until their departure from General Motors,
the H1 has now become quite the collectible!
We are proud to represent this 1998 Hummer H1 Open Top finished in
Silver Metallic with a Gray cloth interior and faux wood accent
trim surrounds. Powering this H1 is a new P-400 long block 6.5
turbo-charged diesel engine with aluminum oil pan producing 250
horsepower with an impressive 550 lbs-ft of torque mated to a GM
4-speed automatic transmission. These trucks are known for their
heavy duty offroad capabilities but also feature modern convivences
as this H1 includes air conditioning, heat & defrost, power windows
& locks, cruise control, cable wench, heated windshields, auxiliary
rear bench seat, upgraded LED headlamps with brush guards, and
functional CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) with Interco TrXus
M/T tires measuring 37x12.50R16 and run-flat inserts still fitted
inside. A full wrap-over front brush guard with FET low/high beam
fog lamps in the grill, full length roof rack with five 6.5" PIAA
round offroad lights, raised snorkel air intake tube, bed side
rails, and rear spare tire carrier enhance its presence even
further!
This engine was installed in October of 2017 when the Hummer had
only 46,384 miles on it. These P400 engines are known for their
power and reliability while not needing a lot of extra
customization to be installed. This H1 now shows 60,797 miles on
the odometer which means the new engine itself has only driven
14,413 miles since installation. Other work completed at the time
were new left and right exhaust manifolds, water pump, air
conditioning condenser & compressor, thermostat, pump mounted
driver with cooler plate, new batteries, pedal sensor, and window
regulator. Well cared for H1 Hummers are becoming increasingly hard
to find in high quality condition like this one, and this example
represents 1 of only 22 Silver Metallic Open Top H1's built in
1998, so they are indeed rare to begin with!
Already an extremely capable offroad truck, it became even more
rugged and powerful with the new P-400 long block installed
increasing horsepower by 30% along with the torque by 22% over
factory stock. This Hummer H1 has been meticulously cared for and
fully serviced by our specialized 4x4 Hummer certified mechanic and
the sale will include receipts of service records, engine
replacement and regular maintenance that has been performed.
Complete with owner's manuals and operating information, wench
control remote and instructions, utility offroad jack, and extra
keys. Please call with additional questions or to schedule an
opportunity to see it in person!
