AM General Executive-Owned H1 Alpha 6.6L Duramax Allison Automatic

By this point, it's probably become second nature to type up https://www.RKMotors.com and scope some of the coolest classics on the planet. But, occasionally, we like to get a little crazy and make sure you're still paying attention. Hey, a gearhead is a gearhead, right? We love ALL kinds of people movers. That's why we're sure you'll dig this boss Hummer Alpha! Combining a legendary Duramax/Allison powertrain with taut Saddle leather and minacious Metallic Black paint, this awesome H1 is a tough, mil-spec warrior that doubles as a suave boulevard stunner. And if you're ready to enjoy a serious ute with serious chops, it's your chance to claim some outsized cool!

NIGHT OPS, METALLIC EDITION

Nearly every iconic off-roader has a cult following, but the storied H1 is arguably one of the most sought after 4x4s of all time. Introduced in 1992 as a civilian-friendly version of AM General's M998 Humvee, the H1 remained the foundation of the Hummer brand for close to two decades. According to its owner, this final-year rig spent most of its life confined to pavement in the hands of an AM General executive. Then, around two or three years ago, the truck was passed to Kascar, LLC, one of few remaining designated AM General service centers, for a thorough restoration. And the rest, as they say, is all weekend miles and climate-controlled history!

Rolling both sophisticated and imposing, this brute wraps distinct worldly swagger in a smooth coat of Metallic Black two-stage that's aesthetically solidified by dark-tint windows. At the front of that pigment, an impressive 72 degree approach angle leads a rugged Warn winch, which clasps heavy duty tow hooks beneath a glossy brush guard, a small Duramax badge and snazzy Truck-Lite headlights. Behind those torches, an HMMWV hood centers Gloss Black venting between a short snorkel and chip-free glass that's flanked by matte wipers and foldable mirrors. Those mirrors reflect extruded doors and HMMWV quarters, which recess small marker lamps above a massive 16 inches of ground clearance. And at the back of those quarters, a small camera and a bright Alpha badge join two more tow hooks and a frame-mounted hitch to cap an impressive 37.5 degrees of departure angle.

DIESEL MUSCLE

Tilt this Hummer's hood and you'll find 6.6 liters of world class Duramax Diesel. Tailored to the H1's archetypal profile thanks to clever GM Powertrain engineers, that proven mill turns miles of torque into decades of reliability. As expected, the Duramax update brought an improved 5-speed automatic gearbox from former GM compatriot Allison Transmission. A fully redesigned cooling system ensures cold starting all the way down to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Dual batteries are raised next to a sealed air box to allow the safe fording of 30 inches of water. Also new for 2006 was a massaged high strength steel chassis that, in addition to tucking the truck's driveline flush inside a fully independent suspension, affords a 2006-exclusive 51mm body lift that enables this beast to climb a 22-inch step and handle 60 percent grades. Power-assisted steering makes turns manageable. Power-assisted HMMWV discs are mounted inboard for the sake of durability. Two fuel tanks offer extended-range travel. And at the corners, two-piece alloys wrap 37x12.50R17 OEM Goodyear Wrangler GS-As around a standard Central Tire Inflation System.

SURPRISINGLY OPULENT

When you step up to this level, trucks are all about combining the best elements of comfort and utility. That's why it's so refreshing to hop in the cab of this purposeful but nicely appointed Hummer. The stars of the show are four Saddle-trimmed leather buckets that feature heat for the front passengers and audio for the rear passengers. A chunky, two-tone dash hangs intricate telemetry next to factory climate control and modern Kenwood audio, which bumps roof-mounted Monsoon speakers. At the sides of that dash, simple door panels front modern power windows and remote power door locks. And the driver rules the road through a trick, “H1” branded steering wheel that laps studious Cruise Control.

Unbeatable trail walker, or unique cruiser that's guaranteed to start a conversation? We'll let you decide, but either way there's no arguing the appeal of this iconic Hummer. Exclusive to the final year of H1 production, GM's aptly named Alpha trim adorned legendary capability with civil conveniences and handsome finishes. And, let's face it, you just really can't go wrong with anything that's hitched to a storied Duramax diesel and a stalwart Allison transmission. Well-built and ready to conquer the world, this all-American brute is a cool and equally exclusive collectable, and if you're a serious truck enthusiast who demands the ultimate, it's an excellent opportunity to step up to the big leagues!
