1996 AM General Hummer 4-Door Hardtop

This imposing 1996 AM General Hummer is standing tall at Maxmotive in Pittsburgh. It’s one of only 40 Hummer hardtops that were produced in 1996 with the factory code R7 red exterior paint. Other opulent features like the chrome Ultra Motorsports wheels, dual sunroofs, gloss carbon fiber steering wheel, light bar, power windows, and power door locks give the truck the feel of a high-end custom. But all the Hummer toughness and capability is mightily intact. Hummer hallmarks such as that unreal ground clearance, the ultra-wide stance, and off course the Detroit Diesel Turbo-diesel V8 are present and accounted for. The engine sends 385ft/lbs of torque (190 horsepower) through a 4L80 4-speed automatic to a Zexel Torsen Torque Blasting diff. Variable ratio power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes make driving duties easy. A Pioneer CD Stereo is also on board to entertain the troops. There are vehicles that claim to be off-road capable and then there’s the Hummer, a vehicle so unstoppable that it gained its reputation serving front-line military duty. But you can drive it home today.
