I love it. And I love the drive train. Great find!
:thumbsup:
 
We had one at the Car Shop for a parts runner, /6 auto. We called it the Cricket, because it's front resembled Jimminy Cricket, the Walt Disney cartoon character .
 
Always liked the a-100,just didnt like leaning over the seats to access the engine!!
 
I'll be honest I don't know the first thing about A-100's except my step son is crazy over them. (Mom thinks they're weird and ugly) We came back from Carlisle and I started poking around Craigslist Found this one interesting and cheap enough Next thing I know I bought it LOL!!!

Now all I have to do is figure out how to fit a 6'9" kid in the cab!!!

Had a guy at Carlisle see Connor checking out his A-100 and told him to get in. As you can see it's a tight fit. This truck was extremely clean and tastefully modified. He was really excited to get to sit in it. You couldn't wipe the smile off his face afterwards.

6’9”!!!!!! Holy smackers!!!!!

Now that’s a darn good question!
I also think they’re weird and ugly. No matter who built them. Just plain ol’weird, and that’s OK. You know the saying!
“What ever floats your boat!”
I get some grief for liking the late B body cars. I really just love my ‘79 Magnum. IDGAF if anyone else likes it, I do and that’s all that counts.
