Actually, I wouldn't really recommend an A-100... Just said that for the laugh factor (BTW, somebody in my neighborhood has a "survivor" A-100 that's a daily-driver!)

I do like the TV repair van idea. I've thought of a similar display for my an old TV in the back of my '73 Monaco wagon. I would suggest getting any old Dodge van from about 1971-78-ish and just slap on the cool all-chrome grille from 71-73 era? Good thing about these van is that you can actually remove the door from a '71 and bolt it to a '03!

In other words, tons of parts interchange well into the modern era, but you can keep the old styling. Much better than the A-100 in just about every way.

Check around in Phoenix, there were always tons of them 4-sale cheap with no rust. Then hit the Ecology wrecking yard off of Van Burean and I-17... They've got dozens of those vans for parts... CHEAP!

I'd suggest painting it the factory Turquoise, as every 70's repair van I can remember was this color!
