This is not what you would expect when opening the Hummer H1’s Hood.
In the 10 minute video, the host and his friend don’t make it to the Hummer for five more minutes. The embedded version skips to them reaching the fake H1.
This rig appears legitimate for a moment. However, this rig is early to be flagged because it doesn’t have a double-wishbone front suspension. This is a distinctive feature of H1.
The truth is revealed when you lift the hood. The hood is not the expected GM-sourced engine. Instead, it has a modified Ford V8 underneath. It’s either a 360-cubic inch (5.9-liter) engine or a 390-cubic inch (6.4-liter) one.
It also looks like the chassis is from a Ford. The fiberglass body is made up of parts like the doors. The overall fit and finish look poor in closeups.
Because of the huge hump that separates the passengers, the interior looks like an authentic H1. Although the interior shots aren’t very detailed, it is not difficult to see the lever that controls the transfer case.
The video does not mention the price at which the fake H1 is sold at auction. This clip shows that the fake H1 is selling for around the same price as an authentic, running example.
The Humvee, a military-spec Humvee, remains in military service. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) is starting to replace it in certain roles.
Consumer side, it is a revolutionary way. The electric pickup truck will have more than 1,000 horsepower (745kilowatts) available. The roof can be removed to allow open-air motoring.
