I had a 64 A100. I bought it off the original owner for $500 back in 1989. It had the original paint that was baby blue and white. Window van. Slant 6 with 3 on the tree. I painted the van flat black with blue scallops. I also painted all the rear windows to black out the interior. (I carried a lot of tools and spare parts and didn't want prying eyes looking in) I used the van primarily as a tow vehicle for our race car. A full tube chassis small block Chevette. Between the van and the Chevette, it drew a massive amount of attention anywhere we went.
The commercial version was called Tradesman. The proper backup lights are flat. I added OEM cruise control & electronic ignition to mine ('65) with wrecking yard parts.
I had a 1968 Dodge A108 ... basically a A100 with the long wheel base. Came with a slant six, and was GUTLESS ... 18' from bumper to bumper, all that steel and a flat nose ... it was terrible. I pulled the 6 and put a 318ci small block in it. Engine and trans out of a dodge dart. It flew up mountains at 70 mph, where with the slant six, it creeped at 35 mph with the pedal to the metal. To this day I kicked myself for selling it. About 10 years ago, I bought a 66 A100 pickup ... the slant six tired, so though a shorter wheelbase, still gutless. Currently at a shop, putting a 360 Magnum and 727 in it, and converting the straight axle to disc brakes .... I love driving it, and it should fly now.

My first car, a '65 Barracuda had the same shifter mounted on the floor. My '67 Dodge D100 had it on the dash like the vans.

They were neat vehicles, bring back vehicles that were fun to drive.
I went to kindergarten in one just like that back in 1966. If you were lucky you got to sit on the engine hump! How safe was that? 😂
Pretty sure the 100 series only offered the 727 in both sportsman and tradesman. Someone definitely added those reverse lights.
A 3-spd manual was standard.
Wanna sell it ?
