1996PEDIGREED H-1 Hummer, $79,500 looking for a home

1996 H-1 PEDIGREED Hummer, looking for a new home.....TE172003

I’ve owned this H-1 for the last 28 years and she has been meticulously maintained by the legendary and world renowned “HUMMERTECH”, Mike Sabberese her entire life. Mike presently works in the Tustin Auto Center in Tustin, Southern CA Where the Silver Lady is presently being taken care of and he has worked on Hummers since the mid-80s. He has built electric Hummers for a mission to the South Pole for a former astronaut and his team, has personally driven Hummers on many grueling races in some of the harshest deserts around the world, personally cares for the Rockefeller’s Hummers that are flown down to his shop in their private Boeing 747 (to Keep the miles low) and is the only one that has been authorized to work on ‘the Arnold’s’ trucks for the last 20+years,

To keep my ‘Hummer-1’ in perfect running order, the 1996 engine was replaced with a brand new, right off the shelf 2018 GM updated engine in May 2018 and she now has a NEW HEART good for another 28 years! The cost of this update was just shy of $30,000 which included some minor additions for her new look.

This vehicle had a twin older brother that I purchased a year before her in1995 but in 1996 when AM General introduced the Turbo Engine, I purchased the Silver Lady and used them both for my film production offices in Atlanta and Hollywood, relegating the Black Lady to my offices in Atlanta, GA and Annapolis, MD and the Silver Lady to Hollywood and Marina Del Rey, CA. They both did a plethora of commercials, TV and movie shoots over the years requiring the installation of the 5 windows on top for ideal lighting of the inside.

Because of her history in the Movie industry, she has the normal compliment of extras as well as some delightful additions to enhance her appeal;
The 5-Pop out windows on top,
A 5 disc DVD player showing on a color TV above the rear view window,
Rear & side view camera viewing on the TV screen,
10 Disc CD player
Updated Radio with additional CD & USB player
ORIGINAL 1st generation GPS installed in 1996 and in perfect condition
Newly installed Digital engine temperature
EGT temp gauge, Turbo boost gauge

CB radio,
Electric cup cooler/warmer,
Running boards,
Rain proof vehicle cover,
Alarm system with auto starting with headlights and window controls
I also have a Hummer watch, 2 Hummer shirts and tons of reference books and articles I’ve collected over the years regarding the H-1 experience and can talk about adding them to the sale, if they haven't been given away by Mike.

This Hummer has a pedigree as it’s been around Movie sets during part of her life and has also proudly taken photos in front of 49 U.S state signs, 6Canadian provinces signs, the four farthest corners of the US, a ton of other national parks, major exhibitions and special places around the North American continent. These photos are all available for your collection on a USB device should you become the new owner and would like them.

She has been driven by a 2 star General, Marine Harrier fighter pilots(photos available), a few celebrities and has been pretty much a road warrior withn ever any off road driving, unless getting to a location for a shoot! Most of the off road experiences were done by her older twin brother.

This Hummer is also the poster child of a project to help bring the world together and although the personal mission is still part of my focus in life, it might not be on my watch that it happens hence the passing of this Silver Lady to someone that can continue to give her the opportunity to put her best foot, err, TIRES forward.

If an H-1 has ever been on your radar then stop here as this Silver Lady will bring years and years of happy moments to you and your family and with a GREAT Pedigree to share with friends.

I’m asking $82,000…….and while I can’t offer the F-4 Fighter Jet I used to fly, B-52 Bomber, Golden Gate bridge or Paul Bunyan and his Blue Ox, should you be fortunate to make the Silver Lady yours, I’ll throw in the 1982 Magnum, P. I. 308GTSiFerrari it’s towing in one of the photos……….for an EXTRA $95,000 + shipping!  I've been driving that Red Lady for 42 years!!!
