1996 Hummer H1 Wagon Turbo Diesel showing 59,547 miles offered by Gas Monkey Garage. Based on the Military M998 Humvee used in Operation Desert Storm, the Hummer’s rugged image was solidified by tales of servicemen whose lives were saved by the armored military version. The Humvee literally travelled to the ends of the earth and brought our servicemen back home safely. They earned their reputation for safety and off-road abilities around the world, and with that reputation it was just a matter of time before the Hummer H1 was built for the civilian public by AM General in America from 1992-1999.The Hummer features a full-time 4X4 system developed for the military with exceptional off-road capabilities. It rides far better than most large SUV’s, it has a full 16” of ground clearance , and without a doubt, creates an image for the owner of being able to drive anywhere he or she wants or needs to! First constructed as the Humvee in 1985, the first generation civilian model H1 was released in 1992 and fueled by Arnold ”The Terminator” Schwarzeneggers’s enthusiastic use of the Hummer. The 1996 Hummer H1 is significant as it is the first year the factory offered the Turbo Diesel engine as an option and only 1,374 Hummers were produced in 1996, making this one of the most desirable H1’s for serious collectors! This outstanding example is a two owner specially ordered from the factory in a patriotic red, white & blue motif having been stored in a large climate controlled collection. It’s in great shape showing only minor wear as you would expect from having been enjoyed for 59,547 miles with some minor paint fading on the hood (see all pics). This H1 features power steering, power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, Bose sound system along with the on board tire inflation system developed for the military. It has been meticulously maintained, rarely driven off-road, has the most desirable power plant and is an absolute blast to drive! Few vehicles make this kind of statement today. This Hummer H1 will be seen on an upcoming episode of the hit show Fast N Loud and the winning bidder has the option of taking delivery here at the shop in Dallas Texas or we can assist with shipping logistics worldwide! If you’re looking for an excellent example of the iconic 1996 Hummer H1 with very desirable Turbo Diesel power plant you won’t find a better example that’s priced to sale!

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
