This Military Hummer Restomod Rolls Into a No-Reserve Sale Looking Ready for AnythingLong before the Hummer H1 became a civilian status symbol, the military-spec M998 was hauling troops and gear over terrain that would swallow an ordinary truck whole. A 1987 example of that original Humvee, built by AM General, is crossing the block at GAA Classic Cars' upcoming July auction, and it has been reworked into a serious overlanding rig without losing its no-nonsense roots.Garage-worthy EDC gear, on sale this week.Listed with lot number FR0234 and set to run with no reserve on Friday of GAA's July auction, this Hummer wears an olive drab-tinted bed liner finish over its green body and rides on a suspension lift with inboard disc brakes. Power comes from the M998's original-style 6.2-liter diesel V8, paired to an automatic transmission with a dual-range transfer case, so it retains the low-range crawling ability that made the platform famous in the first place.AdvertisementAdvertisementCheck This Out: Best Dash Cams of 2026: How to Choose the Right One for Your VehicleWhere this build separates itself from a stock surplus Humvee is in the details added for daily usability. A four-man cab kit with custom metal doors closes up the interior, upgraded bucket seats and three-point seatbelts replace the utilitarian military originals, and a 24-volt air conditioning system has been upgraded to keep the cabin livable. Outside, 17-inch Black Rhino alloy wheels wrapped in 40-inch Nitto tires fill the fenders, a Hummercore front guard adds off-road protection, a rear swing-away carrier holds the spare, and LED lighting brings the electrical system into the modern era.Military Humvees have become an increasingly popular canvas for overlanding and off-road builds, prized for the go-anywhere chassis and portal-geared four-wheel-drive system that the M998 pioneered for the U.S. Army back in the 1980s. With no reserve attached, this one is a chance to pick up a genuinely capable, road-ready example without the guesswork that usually comes with buying surplus military iron.Read Next: The 10 Best Outdoor Knives of 2026: Top-Rated Picks for Hunting, Camping, and SurvivalThis 1987 AM General Hummer M998 is heading to auction thanks to GAA Classic Cars.
