Lot #129 - This classic 1969 Dodge A100 V8 custom pickup is a real-life “Hot Wheels.” The Dodge A100 is a range of American compact vans and trucks manufactured from 1964-70 by the Chrysler Corporation. The A100 competed with the Ford Econoline and Chevrolet Corvair pickups. Placing the driver on top of the front axle with the engine near the front wheels is called a “cab-over” vehicle. As the VIN indicates, this is a 1969 Dodge A100 Pickup with an 8-cylinder engine that was built at the Warren, MI, plant. Only 2,235 were built with the 8-cylinder engine, which makes this a special piece. This pickup was completely restored in 2012. The body is extremely straight and has a high show-quality paint job. The yellow and orange paint scheme was brilliantly designed. The orange side stripe fades with flames and the rear Mopar bumblebee stripe with A100 logo looks amazing. It sports a beautiful chrome grille, dual mirrors and “Hot Wheels” emblems. It has a new front windshield, and all the remaining glass is in great condition. It has a great stance on the REV 15” wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A 225-70-15 tires. The bed was professionally Rhino-lined, which gives the colors contrast. The restored yellow and black interior really complements the exterior. It sports a rearview mirror, Sport Comp oil and volt gauges, Budnik Dragon 15.5” steering wheel, bucket seats with seatbelts and battery with custom cover. The heat and emergency brake are in working order. It’s powered by the factory 318ci V8 engine that was factory-rated with 210hp. The engine compartment was restored and shows well. The engine is concealed with a cover that removes very easily for accessibility, and breathes through a custom dual exhaust system with chrome tips. The engine runs and sounds great, and is coupled to a 3-speed manual column-shift transmission. The transmission was rebuilt and shifts very smoothly. The undercarriage is very clean and presentable. The original owner’s manual is included. This Dodge A100 is a serious attention magnet and a blast to dive. This vehicle has recently been serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that is included.
