Steve forwarded this photo of a Mighty Mite at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday.

Coincidently, yesterday Ann’s mother saved part of an episode of Pawn Stars for me to view (Episode called PONY UP from December 2011), which included a man trying to sell a Mighty Mite to the Pawn Stars guys for $22,000.  They offered $13,000 (based on their expert’s opinion).  Unfortunately, I can’t find a free way to view that episode.

AMC MIghty Mite Mandeville, LA **Status Unknown**

UPDATE: Had a starting price of $18,000. **Status Unknown**

“This extremely well preserved and rare military 4×4 that would be an excellent add to your military or rare vehicle collection. Only 1,045 M422 were produced and it is assumed that only 5% are still in existence. This is a 1960 restored American Motors Mighty Mite M422, serial number 547.

The truck has been 98% restored from the ground up and shows and runs wonderfully.

Vehicle Specific Features-
Complete and restored to original specifications M422
Brand new NOS transmission and transfer case installed
Engine rebuilt
Painted “marine corps green”
Brand New Tires installed
Original rear folding Seats installed on rear fenders
Original Soft-Top in excellent shape
Body and bumpers are straight and all the lifting rings move and work as they should
As far as I know everything is complete and original.

The mighty mite was the first military jeep with posi traction front and rear and with its lightweight 1700 lb. aluminum body seems to go anywhere. Another advantage to the aluminum body is that there is no body rust at all. The frame and other steel components of this truck are all rust free and painted marine corps green. It has an M38 style windshield (as do most M422). This is very rare collector quality vehicle but yet capable as a daily driver or off road play toy.

Willys Powered Railway Maintenance Cart **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Price Unknown

Car, Railway Maintenance, Mutigage , 8-Man, 60 HP Gasoline engine Willys Model MB Motor Car / Speedster

If this is not the most unusual and the most rare WWII vehicle I have had the opportunity to sell it is definitely in the top three. It was built for the U.S. Army Transportation Corp by the Kalamazoo Manufacturing Co. Kalamazoo Michigan. It is serial number 5913 USA number M1013 and was delivered January 1945. What makes it interesting to me is they used everything they could from the MB, purchased right from Willys. The engine complete with oil filter, air filter, regulator, battery, bell housing and T-84 transmission and all of the gauges are the same as the MB. They even used the MB fuel tank and radiator. It is 4 wheel drive and that is accomplished through chain drive and a forward-reverse lever which gave three gear speeds in each direction so the transfer case was not needed. When it was found and purchased 5 or 6 years ago, it was still in very good running condition and had never been allowed to set outside. Most of the vehicle is wood and due to inside storage for 60 years 95% of the original wood was saved in the total restoration. You can see in the as purchased photos (yellow trim) how good the wood was, only the side rail boards had to be replaced mainly from being kicked and broken. Before restoration it was used on several Sunday rail trips in the Jackson Ohio area. It will go much faster that you will want to drive it. As you can see from the photos it was professionally and totally disassembled rebuilt, researched for paint scheme and reassembled. With the wood being in such good condition it was easy to sand down to the original colors and markings. It was shown at the 2006 MVPA convention in Dayton Ohio.”

The starting bid is only $999.

“Up for bid is my CJ3a. I hate to part with it but with 3 kids I just don’t have the time neede to finish it. I have bought many new parts and have put many hours into this. It comes with the original L134 engine. T90 3spd transmition, Dana 25 and 44. It is all original other than the wheels. I am not a mechanic so my goal; was to get the engine 95% and then take it to a mechanic for the last 5% to get it running. I have replaced the following. spark plugs, distributor cap, points, and all to do in the distributor (for a tune up), new plug wires, belts, hoses, fluids, oil canister filter, gas tank, gas line, head light bezels, and much more. It has a few rust spots that I wanted to repair I even have the sheet metal but have not yet had the time. It also comes with a very unique and expensive Koenig Hard Top. You can find these selling for $500-$1000 by themselves. Feel free to ask questions.-Jeff”
