Dodge introduced the A100 in 1964 as part of its 'Compact' line of forward-control vehicles, competing directly with Ford's Econoline and Chevrolet's Corvair 95. Built on a unibody platform, its unique cab-over design placed the driver on top of the front axle, creating a distinctive driving experience. It was available as a panel van, a window van called the Sportsman, and a pickup, with power coming from either the famously durable Slant-6 or an optional small-block V8.
Collectors are drawn to the A100's quirky looks and its mid-century utility vibe. The pickup variant is particularly popular, as are models equipped with the 273 or 318 cubic-inch V8 engine. Pop culture icons like the 'Little Red Wagon' wheelstander drag truck cemented the A100's place in automotive history, boosting its desirability. They are also popular platforms for unique camper conversions and restomods.
The market for the A100 is accessible but shows significant variation based on condition and configuration. With an average sale price around $15,000, it's an affordable entry into classic Mopar ownership. However, restored V8 pickups can command more than double that, while rough projects remain very inexpensive.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern; thoroughly inspect floor pans, rocker panels, wheel arches, and the drip rails above the doors.
- The forward-control steering can feel vague. Check for excessive play and inspect the kingpins and tie rods for wear.
- V8 models are more valuable, so verify the engine is a period-correct 273 or 318 if paying a premium.
- Drivetrain parts for the Slant-6 and V8s are common, but A100-specific body panels, glass, and trim are extremely difficult to find.
Based on 16 sales, prices range from $1,400 for projects to $35,000 for top-condition examples.
