The Ford Shay Roadster was a venture involving Shay Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company in the late Seventies and early Eighties. Founder Harry J. Shay decided to build a limited run of replicas of the 1920s Ford Model A Roadster, wrapping modern mechanicals and underpinnings with a retro body. The vehicles were built in Michigan and sold through Ford’s network of automobile dealers. The model was produced in five body styles, including a pickup truck and panel truck. This example is a 1980 Ford Shay Roadster from Virginia that has just 2,579 miles on the clock and is reported to have been kept in a heated garage.
This 1980 Ford Shay Roadster features a fiberglass body that is clothed in a shade of white known as “Eggshell” that highlights its 1920s profile and design. This car is a drop-top or convertible, with a contrasting black hood that can be lowered. Headlamps, mirrors, grille, and details are chromed, whilst a pair of black-painted horns adorn the front grille. This example comes with 18-inch spoked wheels wrapped in whitewall tires, plus dual front fender-mounted spare wheels with whitewall tires. An externally mounted black luggage trunk is at the rear, which is necessary as the rear portion of the bodywork contains the rumble seat – a boot-mounted seat beneath a cover that is meant for occasional use, as this seat is not covered by the convertible top, and thus the occupants would be exposed to the weather. Keeping in tune with the 1920s exterior, the black interior features period-correct gauges, a bench seat for the driver and front passenger, and a two-spoke steering wheel.
Whilst the body appearance is from the 1920s, the mechanicals are from the Seventies. This 1980 Ford Shay Roadster is powered by Ford’s 140ci (2.8L) four-cylinder gasoline engine that was found in the Ford Pinto, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed transmission. The engine put out 88bhp. The Shay Roadster features the independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering gear from the Pinto, as well as disc brakes up front and drums at the rear.

Ford’s Model A was the successor of the wildly popular Model T. Made for just four short years, the Model A was equally a wild success as its predecessor. In 1930, sales hit the three million mark, with Ford offering a variety of body styles and colors to eager buyers. This particular 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe Restomod is of the two-door variant, and has undergone a comprehensive build. With a mere 1,200 miles since then, it’s a head-turner, a hot rod, a restomod, and one fine car to own and drive.
The Ford Model A is best known as the successor to the car that put the world on wheels. It was the first Ford to use the standard set of driver controls with conventional clutch, brake, and throttle pedals, along with a gearshift — unlike its predecessor, the Ford Model T. First produced on October 20th, 1927, the Model A was a great success among the populous with almost 5 million units being sold, ending production in March 1932. The survival rate of this fabled car is quite small, so to find a Model A in great condition, such as this 1930 Roadster pickup version we have for you, is an extremely rare find. Featuring an all-steel 1932 Ford shell, this particular model has received a complete restoration from the ground up. The Ford Flathead V8 engine has been rebuilt, and only a mere 5,200 miles were clocked after the build. With servicing up to date, you can find this meticulously maintained Ford Model A for sale in Bennettsville, South Carolina.
Ford’s Model A had a tough act to follow, when it was introduced in 1927. You see, it was the intended successor of the wildly popular Model T, the car that mobilized millions of Americans and revolutionized automotive manufacturing. It’s never easy when you’ve got such a high benchmark to meet, yet the Model A did it. By 1930, when this 1930 Ford Model A came out, three million examples had been sold. Speaking of this particular car, it’s undergone a frame-off restoration, so you can really cherish this 94-year-old car and take it for a drive every now and then, too.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
The Ford Raptor is already a fantastic dream for off road aficionados, but what if Shelby can take it a step further. Meet the 2019 Ford F-150 Shelby Baja Raptor. Domineering a 525-horsepower producing twin turbocharged V6 power plant with an aluminum body saving almost 500 pounds of weight, this rugged machine is ready to take on any terrain with sheer power. This particular example we have today has clocked over 32,250 miles on the odometer and it comes with the 802A Technology package; in simple terms, the luxury package. You get memory seats with cooling, remote start, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, a 360-degree camera with lane assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist and most importantly a 4.10:1 Torsen front differential. Moreover, Shelby equips this truck with a Fox 3”-lift suspension system, high-clearance bumpers, and a chase rack with two full-size spare tires. For sale in Fayetteville, Georgia, this is the perfect machine to explore the wilderness in style.
