As an iconic piece of US military history, this 1989 Humvee M1026 presents as a highly collectible investment opportunity for the US military vehicle collector. Equipped with basic armour, a roof weapon mount, a VRC radio and a front winch, this example is finished in matte green with a matching interior design. With all the gear for military deployment, this vehicle is extremely collectable.
Its body showcases a post war condition with what is believed to be bullet dents displayed on the rear bar concluding this vehicle is as heavy duty as it looks and without a doubt proves durable.
Powered by a bulletproof 6.2L Detroit diesel engine and linked to a 3-speed automatic transmission, the M1026 is capable of climbing gradients as steep as 31 degrees thanks to its immense torque, suiting it perfectly to battle conditions. In good running order, this desirable vehicle would complement any collection.
Built by AM General in 1989, the Humvee M1026 Slant Back is an armoured armament carrier which saw its first military deployment in the Gulf War and the invasion of Panama. The M1026’s rich and successful military history has brought it to be highly collectable today. Examples in this condition are rarely seen, making this an excellent opportunity to own an exciting piece of U.S. military history.
