CALIFORNIACLASSIX HumVee HMMWV H1 Hummer with GM Diesel Engine

1982 Other Makes Hummer Additional Info:

Ever since Arnold the Terminator obtained permission to get a military Hummer, back in '92, the H1 has become the poster child of an urban assault vehicle. Green may be cool, but even cooler is a green HumVee!

Steel is real, and the Hummer has lots of it, being 7 feet wide and weighing in at 6,300 lbs.
Intimidating? You bet!

The last H1s sold back in 2006 cost a hefty $150,975, and that was before the Governator's taxes.
Prices for H1s have been holding up quite well, which is not surprising, given that people will never again be able to get their hands on a brutal, ego-inflating, street-legal vehicle like it.

This one was manufactured by Classic Roadsters in Fargo, North Dakota, who were able to provide a 100%-correct body, made of steel (!), that could be mounted on a full size GM pickup chassis. Assembling the puzzle required hundreds of hours of labor and some ingenuity, and thus fewer than 20 of these Badlands RT Humvees were ever built.
Here's one!

Painstakingly assembled on a GM Suburban 4 x 4 chassis, this Badlands HumVee is as badass as it gets. We've just installed a brand new set of General tires.

Like our troops' HumVee, this one is powered by an American-made engine, here GM's very own 6.2-liter V-8 Diesel, breathing through a Banks turbocharger. The HumVee starts like a tank, noisy, smelly, sounding like a pit full of rattlesnakes - in short, just fabulous!
Both batteries have just been replaced.

Dashboard is as wide as the Titanic's bridge. Only luxury is a stereo and an adjustable steering column. Shifter for the automatic transmission looks muy macho.

Captain's chairs in front are very comfortable, have just been re-upholstered in durable black hyde of the nauga.

Rear bench seatback folds forward, enabling load-through of surfboards or other very long items. Floors are covered with hard-wearing rubber matting.

ARMORED vanity plate can be included if the vehicle stays in California.

With its sizeable pickup bed, the Badlands HumVee is a very pactical vehicle. On desert trips, the former owner carried a Quad on the bed.
The hardtop can easily be unbolted. A rigid convertible top frame (not shown) is included. Covered with camouflage netting, it provides the ultimate in open air motoring.

The 4 x 4 chassis is clean and free of corrosion. Note sturdy construction of Badlands' undercarriage.

Wednesday, October 5th was just another fabulous day here on the Pacific Coast. Determined to scare a few retirees and small pets, we fired up the monster and headed for our favorite neighborhood.

With its perfectly matte, dark olive green finish, the big 4x4 is a truly impressive sight.

On the highway, this HumVee drives way better than the military version, just like a vintage 4 x 4 Suburban, its straight-axle layout beloved by off-road enthusiasts. However, you don't have to be a body builder to manhandle this one, as power steering and power brakes make the task easier.

If you've ever lusted for physical dominance on the street without sacrificing a modicum of practicality, if you like owning a Hummer that doesn't need parts available only from the U.S. government or expensive specialists, this Badlands RT HumVee might be your ticket. Buy it, put on your Ray Bans and go cruising, Terminator style!
