Vehicle Description
No, you're eyes are not deceiving you. This is a 1966 Dodge A100
van. Rarely do these come around anymore, especially a fully
restored custom built like this one.
That dark metallic green is the perfect paint for this restored
van. It captures some of the '60s earthtone spirit, but it has the
modern shine of a metallic clearcoat, so it looks fantastic and
contemporary. You can instantly tell the investment in this one was
significant, and the paint is so fresh, that we wouldn't be
surprised when it takes home some awards. Especially since the
thoughtful application includes the trim pieces painted in a darker
shade of a coordinating green. This van doesn't completely skip out
on brightwork, it's just saved for the iconic American Racing Torq
Thrust wheels that wear modern grippy rubber.
The moment you open the door, you'll realize the restoration budget
wasn't blown only on the exterior. There was plenty left over to
make one of the coolest van interiors you'll ever see. Oak fills
the cargo area on the floor, celling, and even across the side
panels. Up front is a LeCarra steering wheel and a set of SunPro
auxiliary gauges. You and your passenger get custom leather buckets
and comfy door panels that combine the exterior green with the
seating leather. This brown nicely matches the carpeting, dash, and
custom center console. In fact, that last piece houses cup holders,
the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for your iPod, and controls for
the R134a air conditioning. So this vintage van is more comfortable
than many modern ones.
The whole restoration was completed in 2015, and so there is less
than 100 miles on the rebuilt 225 cubic-inch inline-six and
three-speed automatic transmission. That means you get a complete
build that starts easy, idles smoothly, and pulls nicely through
the gears. Having a forward control van not only gives you a
commanding view of the road, but also means wowing crowds when you
open up the center console. After all, where most people store a
sandwich, you've got your entire power base.
Everyone wants a nice van as a support vehicle for car shows, but
this one is a show-stopper all on its own. So whether you need to
haul supplies or just haul home awards, this full custom build of a
rare Dodge A100 is a very cool choice. Since there's only one up
for grabs, you might want to hurry up and call today!
