1963 Mighty Mite M-422A1
1963 Mighty Mite M-422A1 Winona, MN
Price on Request
This Mighty Mite was built for the Marine Corps and was designed to be
dropped from a helicopter for use by the ground troops. The numbers vary but
approximately 3900 Mites were built before the military stopped production.
Experts believe that there are less than 300 Mites left. An air cooled aluminum
V4 engine designed and built specifically for the Mite is used along with a 4
speed transmission and transfer case. The Mite is designed with independent 4
wheel suspension and inboard brakes front and rear. The entire body and nearly
every other part is built from aluminum giving it an approximate weight of
1600#. Marine Corps Mighty Mite number 309837 has had a complete off the frame
restoration completed by www.buzzardroostmotors.com in Arkansas. I recently
completed a total engine rebuild on the air cooled V4 to bring the vehicle to
near new standards. The restoration of the Mite was a very expensive proposition
and I think you will find this vehicle to be one of the finest of its kind in
existence. If the little A1 brings back some memories then give me a call. Price
available on request. Valley Motors of Winona,
