UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Apparently, this is a Very Early Mighty Mite. Does that make it a VEMM?
“1961 M422A1 Mighty Mite
Serial #: 1484
Date of Delivery: 10-16-61
This auction is for a very early production M422A1, as indicated by the low A1 serial number and the date of delivery stamped on data plate (this was only done on the first 100 or less M422A1s along with the eagle inspection stamp).
The Mite still retains its original early “thin” windshield and has never been modified to the more common M38A1 style. Also, other early features include the early style fire extinguisher bracket under the cowling, M38A1 style parking break and tailgate chains. The tailgate chains were usually swapped out and a bolt was used to close the tailgate.
The tires are original to the Mite and are dated 1960 and 1961. They should be replaced if serious driving is planned.
This M422 is very original and complete with most of the commonly missing items. Electrical system works as well as lights (front and rear)
The vehicle runs and prior to running, the cylinders were bore scoped to check the cylinder linings. The cylinder walls were in just about perfect shape with no signs of flaking or other damage. Might starts with quickly and runs great.. Please see YouTube video by searching for “Mighty Mite #1484″.”
