 The Mighty Mite was a very small
combat vehicle designed to be a light-weight, helicopter-transportable replacement for the
venerable Jeep. With the emphasis on lightness for airlifting and manhandling, it was
built from aluminum and was powered by an AMC V-4 air-cooled engine. It has a wheelbase of
just 71 inches, and can ford a stream to a depth of 21 inches.It was designed and built by Mid-America Research Corp., and later by American Motors for the US Marine Corps. Regular production began in 1959, and almost 4,000 were built into the early 1960s. Our Mighty Mite is ideal for inclusion in any production featuring USMC activities from 1959 through the early 60s. Equipped with a removable top, it is easily transported by trailer, and if necessary, by our Huey helicopters.
