Sure, it’s good to keep cars original so we can examine them nowadays and see how the factory built them, see how those factory configurations held up over time, but if we really want to do some auto anthropology and see how people and their vehicles interact over the span of decades, we should change our focus to vehicles like this 1969 Dodge A100 Sportsman van for sale on Hemmings.com, a one-owner van that’s unrestored, but that has seen a number of minor alterations and adaptations to suit that one owner these last 45 years. From the seller’s description:
This is a factory A/C Van. In the time we have owned this van and belonging to every A100 club no one has ever seen a factory A/C van. I watched this van come off the train at the dealership. I have the original bill of sale, owners manual, dealer catalog and all of the paperwork including the reg cards.
This van has a 318 V8 bored .030 over with a nice RV cam and Edelbrock manifold with a Holly 4 barrel carb and Flowmaster dual exhaust. Motor and trans have about 25K since rebuild. Trans is a 727. Tires have about 8000 miles on them. New brakes about 3 months ago. Radiator was just rebuilt. This van was bought new in 1969 at Allen Motors in Windsor Locks Connecticut. Right after is was bought we moved back to Los Angeles. This van has no rust. I drive it about twice a month. It runs great. Needs paint and interior but a very solid project vehicle.
I also have a ton of spare parts that I have collected over the last 25 years. Chrome strips, headlight rings, speedometers, tie rods, steering arm, brake light lens, front blinker assembly’s, all new door rubber/window channel, door handles, and much much more. A/C is complete but needs repair.
I hate to part with this van but my son wants to build an old pick up with me so I want to make room for that. I want this van to go to someone who will appreciate it. It’s like a member of the family
