M998 Humvee, ex-U.S. Marine Corps

Made by AM General1985California, United States

A 1985 AM General M998 Humvee delivered new to the U.S. Marine Corps and later released through military surplus. The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle replaced the jeep family across every branch of the U.S. armed forces and became the defining light utility vehicle of late twentieth-century conflict. This example retains its original 6.2-liter diesel drivetrain and period Marine Corps markings.
