I just got off the plane from buying my 87 humvee at Riverside.... I
found out some interesting news from the people down there.... THIS IS
IT !!!!! when they are gone, they are gone..... Evidently AMGeneral is
pitching a monumental bitch to the DOD about these things hitting the
market, because it is killing their Civillian HUMMER market.....
Waaaaaaaa. So basically, from here on out any Humvee will be on the
de-mil list again... thats right.....cut up into 4 equally useless
pieces.....
So here is the deal..... on the bright side of things..... if any of you
do manage to get one...their resale value just skyrocketed......
As you may have noted...I did say 87 ..... I found a bunch of 86, and 87
models mixed in w/ the 95's... The 87 version has an uprated 6.2L engine
that has 175 hp vs. 150 on earlier models..... I probably went through
3/4 of the total there..... If anyone has questions, contact me off
list.. I will be happy to give you the scoop.... ALSO..... I talked at
great length w/ my dealer about our mail group... He told me that he
would be happy to sell these things to us..... Remember this is not a
place where you can walk in off the street, and buy one..... If anyone
is serious about buying one, contact me off list, and I can put you in
touch w/ him.....
George
1968 m101a1 & finally a 1987 M998 to tow the damm thing
around....grin.....
