Info about this vehicle:

1988 AM General Humvee M998 - Camouflage - 8,443km - 6.5L Turbo Diesel V8, 4WD AutomaticOverviewThis is a genuine military-specification AM General Humvee M998, one of the most iconic four-wheel-drive vehicles ever produced. The Humvee represents a watershed moment in automotive design, introducing uncompromising go-anywhere capability wrapped in a utilitarian package that has become a cultural phenomenon. This particular example is a 1988 model year unit, placing it among the earliest production Humvees and capturing the vehicle in its most authentic, unrefined form. The M998 designation indicates a standard cargo configuration with 1.25-tonne payload capacity, making it equally at home on military operations or civilian adventure work. The 6.5-litre turbocharged diesel V8 is the legendary engine that powered countless military and civilian Humvees, delivering robust low-end torque and legendary reliability. At just 8,443 kilometres on the odometer, this is an exceptionally low-mileage example, suggesting either careful storage, limited operational use, or recent recommissioning.The camouflage paint scheme is original to the vehicle's military heritage, presenting in multi-tone green and brown tones consistent with 1980s-era military specifications. The exterior shows the characteristic squared-off lines and functional design language that defined the Humvee aesthetic. Panel gaps are even and consistent with military manufacturing tolerances. The paint exhibits patina appropriate to a vehicle of this age and service history, with minor oxidation visible on exposed metal surfaces and some weathering consistent with outdoor storage. All body panels are present and straight, with no evidence of collision damage or structural compromise. The iconic seven-slot grille is intact and presents well. Bumpers are functional and show appropriate wear. The vehicle rides on original military-specification tyres mounted on steel wheels with proper tread depth visible.The interior is spartan and authentic to military specification. The two-seat configuration features basic bench seating with original upholstery showing age-appropriate wear. The dashboard is functional and uncluttered, with essential gauges and controls clearly visible. The steering wheel is original and shows patina consistent with the vehicle's age. All instrumentation appears functional, including the iconic speedometer with cross-country trailer markings. The cabin retains its original military aesthetic with minimal creature comforts, reflecting the Humvee's design philosophy of form following function. Visibility is excellent thanks to the large windscreen and side windows. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with the 6.5L turbocharged diesel V8 presenting in good mechanical condition. All fluid levels
