Welcome to
GOLD COAST TRUX
established September of 2018!
My name is Dan LaForgia and I specialize in the sale of AM General Hummer H1s. Although this website is new, I have been involved with the HUMMER community for more than 15 years and have an extensive knowledge base about HUMMER H1s. I created this website to share information about HUMMER H1s as well as post the few H1s, in stock form, that I sell each year. I am not a dealer – simply a HUMMER enthusiast with a sales background.
I have been interested in these trucks since my teenage years. In 1996, I convinced my father take me to the local HUMMER dealer for a test drive so I could finally ride in one. After that ride, I knew I would own one someday. I was fortunate enough to work for that same dealer (Malmstrom HUMMER) from 1999-2003 during my summer breaks for college as a product specialist sold a bunch while there in the summer months with the Product Manager Joe Butera.
After graduating with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and Acoustics in 2005, I decided to “treat” myself with a new vehicle purchase – my first HUMMER. I purchased a 2000 HUMMER Wagon in Gloss black and immediately joined The HUMMER Club. Although I rarely off-roaded my truck, I met many friends in that community and attended events in Pennsylvania (Rausch Creek), Tennessee (Windrock), Michigan (Silver Lake) and the AM General off-road course in South Bend IN. I also toured the HUMVEE plant in 2008 and became friends with many AM General employees.
In 2007, I connected with an old colleague Tom Ogden who was one of the top HUMMER salespeople in the eastern US. Tom worked for James HUMMER Outlet in Flemington NJ and we had worked together while I was at Malmstrom. He truly had a passion for the HUMMER like me. Since retiring from the dealership in 2006, Tom kept in contact with all his customers. He called me and asked if I would like to help him sell a customer’s HUMMER. That truck was a 2001 Pewter Soft-top in excellent condition with only 35k miles. I sold it in 2 weeks to an owner I previously knew who was looking for another. A few months later, we sold another HUMMER for one of Tom’s customers. I enjoyed selling the trucks and finding new owners to enjoy them and more followed after that. Unfortunately, Tom passed away in 2010 from Cancer but I decided to keep selling the trucks for private owners and friends of mine. Since 2007, I have sold over 45 H1’s for various owners and have made many friends in the process.
Recently, I started to buy the trucks on my own, going through them to make sure they are mechanically sound, and then finding someone to enjoy them! This is the start of Gold Coast Trux! Feel free to check out my personal HUMMERs here:
