1970 Ford Mutt M151A2 - Olive Draft, Manual, Four-Wheel Drive
Overview
This 1970 Ford Mutt M151A2 represents a genuine piece of American military and off-road heritage from the Vietnam War era. Developed as a lightweight military utility vehicle, the M151 was designed to provide exceptional mobility, durability and versatility across a wide range of terrain. This example is finished in its iconic olive draft colour and retains the utilitarian character and straightforward mechanical design that made the M151 series a renowned military workhorse.
The M151A2 was an evolution of the original M151, incorporating improvements to the suspension and rear axle design to enhance handling and stability. Powered by a 2.3-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, the M151A2 offers genuine period military performance and an engaging driving experience. With its compact dimensions, low weight and capable four-wheel-drive system, the M151 remains a highly collectable vehicle among military and classic vehicle enthusiasts.
This particular vehicle presents with extensive period patina throughout. The olive draft finish shows weathering and fading consistent with its age, while the body and chassis display surface rust and age-related corrosion in various areas. The canvas soft top and rubber components show deterioration consistent with decades of use and storage. The interior retains its original-style military upholstery, dashboard and instrumentation, all displaying appropriate wear for a vehicle of this era. The mechanical components remain largely intact, presenting an excellent basis for preservation or restoration by an enthusiast seeking an authentic military vehicle.
