1999 AM General Hummer H1 Hard Top

While handsomely finished and well-equipped for startling passenger comfort, this 1999 AM General Hummer is a very well-presented and preserved example throughout with one prior owner from new until most recently purchased by the selling dealer. Just 45,386 miles of use are indicated at the time of writing.

Obviously an object of pride for the prior owner since it was new, this 1999 AM General Hummer features a rare and very attractive Silver paint finish – one of just twelve Hard Tops in this color – that appears in the knowledgeable Seller’s estimation to be original to the vehicle, and a Black roof treatment provides an attractive contrast to the body’s finish. The windshield panels have been replaced under the Seller’s care, due to some clouding they noted to have been present on the original items. Model-identification scripts remain in place, while four doors and a spacious rear cargo bed provide exceptional versatility.

As expected, this mighty Hummer is ready for severe off-road duty with its substantial front and rear black bumpers, front brush bar, heavy-duty winch, and beefy front and rear towing hooks. Highly attractive and aggressive Ironman All Country M/T all-terrain tires on Gray and Black allow wheels complete this Hummer’s go-anywhere features.

Purposefully trimmed in heavy-duty Grey plastic panels, the Hummer features seating for up to four with twin bucket seats up front and twin folding rear seats. Other interior features include perforated Black leather upholstery, folding arm rests, and a sizable center console featuring abundant storage and even twin cup holders for your favorite beverages. Passenger amenities include air-conditioning, an updated digital AM/FM CD stereo head unit including Bluetooth, AUX and USB inputs, power door locks, power windows, and 12-volt power outlets.

The driver is greeted by a leather-wrapped “HUMMER” steering wheel and instruments monitoring battery voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level, plus a large central speedometer/odometer and dash-mounted clock. The driving experience is eased with ABS power brakes, power steering, and cruise control.

Underneath the Hummer’s tilt-open hood resides the proper turbocharged 6.5-liter GM V-8 engine, factory-rated 190 horsepower, paired with a GM 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission and driver-selectable 4x4 High and Low drive ranges, allowing uncommon on- and off-road capabilities. 1999 also represents the first year for Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) and TT4 traction control systems. The engine and surrounding engine compartment are presented in unmodified, OEM condition.

According to the Seller, the Hummer benefits from the complete replacement of the rear brakes, including pads, rotors, calipers and hoses. Additionally, the rear brake lines all the way to the master cylinder have been replaced. Further, the factory wheels, tires, and run-flat devices will go with the purchase of the Hummer, but the buyer will be responsible for shipment of the roughly 500-lb package.

Built at the Mishawaka, Indiana Hummer plant, this compelling first-generation example was recently acquired by the Seller via the estate of the original owner, a resident of Virginia. A clean Carfax report accompanies the sale of the vehicle, with mileage and service appointments progressively documented thereon. The Seller advises that in addition to the Carfax vehicle-history report, a selection of service records are included with the sale of the vehicle, plus all dealer-issued books and manuals. The car now comes to market with a clear West Virginia title in the selling dealer's name and local buyers will need to pay necessary title transfer and document fees.

A modern military legend, with a record as storied as the WWII Jeep, the first-generation Humvee, or “Hummer”, translated its original purpose to long-term production in barely civilianized guise. Quality examples are in constant demand and this upmarket production model retains all the ruggedness and capability of its military brethren. Benefiting from sole ownership from new until most recently purchased by the selling dealer, this low-mileage example is ready to enjoy anywhere the next owner should choose to take it.
