New Georgia Memeber: Got an A100!

Post by Guest Tue May 24, 2011 12:01 pm

Very solid 67 model. Slant 6, 727. This van I bought last weekend in Montgomery, Al. It was well worth the drive!!! It very rust free having come from So. Cal., Riverside. A lot of work has been done already to get it out on the road. It runs and drives okay, but will need a little more tweaking to get as a daily or occasional driver. I love it. I had wished that I'd not sold my Econoline a while back, but I like this one much better since I know the drivetrain better. I'll be posting some pics here and there, and I'm sure I'll have questions. Thanks for giving a look.

What other Mopars do you have besides the vans? I saw in a post that you have some others. I'm old skool Mopar myself. I have a 69 GTX, 71 & 72 RRs and a 59 Plymouth taxi. Had a few slant 6 cars over the years.

Whats up cousin!

I'm not far from you in Forsyth County, there's at least two more A100 owners on this board from the ATL area and one guy in Athens that's looking to buy one.

Is that factory AC on top of that van? If so you scored in a big way Smile

Smile

If you start having heat management problems with your van hit me up, I've got mine "manageable" after lots of trial and error. When you think it's ready, lets hit a car show someone on the north side, I haven't seen another van at one yet.

I'll post a few more pics once I get her off of the trailer. Probably tomorrow. I've driven it only out of the guy's driveway and up onto the trailer. Idled and ran great! I watched a video on you tube of the fellow driving around town before I bought it. Pretty darn humorous. I also perused his photobucket many times. I felt that I knew the van well. It was one of those rare occations when it looked even better in person. It's well worn of course, but so solid and mechanically pretty good.
As far as the a/c system goes, it's bizzare! Ther is a condensor one the roof with two fans on either side to pull air through it. The reciever dryer is up there as well. I've tried to follow the lines, but I have to get it on the lift and take the belly pan off. The floor unit is a Sears model I'd assume. There is a parts list in the glovebox.
Did they have facory roof a/c?????
Slowflapper, I'd be up for a cruise once it's on the road in order. I know Forsyth. Been there a bit. Mainly Gainseville. I seem to buy cars there a bit.

Got my van off of my trailer yesterday morning. Took her for a ride early on. Ran and drove real nice. Everything seemed to work pretty well. I know it has a little brake noise at the rear to look at, and also the fuel sender needs a seal. Can't put much fuel into it till it's replaced. I'm gonna have to redo the sorry heat insulation job done to the doghouse. Pretty darn bad. Should be a driver soon. I fixed the side window. They're kool. Got em workin' and secure. Took a bunch of pics. I'll post more. This is the only one to come through okay from my i-phone. My server sucks. Anyway, glad to find the site. Been brousing. Gonna help out a lot. I wish I'd found this site when I had my Econoline. It was a real kool van too.

Yeah mine are on the side doors. The were originally solid doors. These were cut in and mounted. The rears are window. Kinda wouldn't mind to have similar on the rear, but okay with it as is. sure vents well and give a breeze through. Gets hot here in the south. Also has a small roof vent wich is neat. That'll vent hot air out as it rises. I'm seriously thinking about resto-ing the a/c unit. Not right off, but it'd be nice. Late July and August here will make you want to put your non-a/c toys away. The high humidity make it all the worse. 'Couse I'll sweat a lil to drive this one LOL. Post a pic of your rear window if you get a chance. It'd be neat to see.

Definitely fix the AC, if you start having heat management problems with the engine pm me, Ive been through that myself here. I also have contact info to get a dog house insulation kit for about $125 (pre cut) and some details on that as well because I did mine last year.

slowflapper: Well, actually...that was going to be pretty much one of my first inquires, about the doghouse insulation. One side has cardboard, not safe! Anyway, yea I really would like that info.!!! As far as running hot goes...yet to be seen. I know that the radiator was rodded out and a new water pump intalled before I got it. So far, it seems to run pretty cool thankfully. But, I've not put it on the road yet. My business was real slow, but now I'm real busy, so not much time yet. But so enjoying it.

white lightning: yea, pretty much looks like the same manufacture. Never seen em on the rear. Pretty cool if you had the pair. Looks like rear window louvers. If the aluminum surround was painted body color, and you had the pair, that be keen. Van looks pretty darn straight! Thanx for the pic!

Here's a couple of more pics. The inside was done nice back in the day. Paneling, aspecially on the doors, needs replace. It has a bed that slides out to go across the whole rear. Some more pix: New Georgia Memeber: Got an A100! Cabin10
