This is an exacting build of the iconic 'Mystery Machine' from the Scooby-Doo cartoon series. The A100 was the most accurate representation of the van penned by the legendary Hanna-Barbera team, with each piece measured for accuracy. Expert craftsman Ty Bennett purchased a well-preserved original Dodge A100 and set out to do a comprehensive tribute to the Mystery Machine. All sheet metal was preserved. It has a factory 225ci slant-6 engine equipped with a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission. Paint colors were computer-matched and applied based on computerized calculations using an original gel cell from the TV series.
All the decals were likewise measured to scale and applied to the van using the modeling. The interior was created to mirror the era, creating a 'groovy pad' for the gang to hang out in. The floor is shag carpeting with painted walls to match the carpeting and the times. There are three plush beanbag chairs and cutouts of the characters from the show, as well as a giant dog dish matching the show example perfectly. Finally, there is an illuminated sitting area that is a throwback to the late '60s. The van has a rad appearance, echoing the times and styles of that bygone era. This Mystery Machine has been invited to countless events and is always a huge hit when being shown.
A large assortment of display materials is included with the van.
