This Unique Mighty Mite belongs to one of our MVCC members. When Mark found it, it was in a very forlorn condition. It didn't run and the original 4-cylinder air cooled engine had been replaced by a cast iron 4-cylinder Volvo engine. Necessitating the grill being extended out about 6 inches to accommodate the radiator. Most people would have parted out the little Jeep and moved on. Mighty Mites are Marks passion, he has 3 of them, so he took the Mighty Mite all the way down and started from scratch. The stock Mighty Mite motor is a difficult find so he had a 1600cc engine from a Suzuki Tracker available. Anyways I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
The CV carburetor is from a late model Harley-Davidson. Mark took me for a ride, it really runs and rides nice.
