Product Details

1987 AM General M998, finished in tan with a black interior. Also known as the Humvee, this M998 was sent to the Middle East in 1991 to participate in Operation Desert Storm. This M998 was refurbished in 2006 by the Maine Military Authority, according to a sticker in the cabin. It received chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) during the refurbishment.Modifications made to this M998 include seatbelts (which were required to make it street-legal), 20-inch wheels wrapped by 39-inch tires, a 2-inch suspension lift, LED lights on both ends, plus Smittybilt front and rear seats. Some of the factory parts are included in the sale.AM General developed the M998 as a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) for the American Army. Production started in 1984, and the M998 made its combat debut when the United States invaded Panama in 1989. It rose to prominence as a symbol of our armed forces during the Gulf War. Arnold Schwarzenegger famously drove one of the first civilian M998s after paying a Michigan shop to make it street-legal, and the truck's unexpected popularity convinced executives to launch the Hummer in 1992.Power comes from a 6.2-liter diesel V8, which produces 150 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. It spins the 4 wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission and portal axles. Built to tackle some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the M998 has a 54-degree approach angle, a 38-degree departure angle, and the ability to drive through 30 inches of water.
