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.

The Ford Model A gave mobility to millions of Americans, picking up right where the Model T left off. Over four million cars were made over just five production years, spanning 1927 to 1931. Today, it’s not that easy to find a Model A, as the cars quietly fell unused – nobody expected them to become classics, after all. However, if you want a Model A that’s got a few interesting enhancements to make it better for regular driving, check out this 1930 Ford Model A Restomod. Having undergone a full frame-off restoration, the car is a true beauty to behold, in hot-rod style, no less. It’s got a mere 1,600 miles since the build, and is ready for a lifetime of adventures. Do you dare to take it on, turn heads wherever you go, and enjoy every single drive? Read on…
American Cars from the '30s - you either love them or choose to go full custom on them. A look at the marketplace on American motors from this period and one theme emerges: very few cars look like they rolled out of their factory floors and feature major custom builds to stand out. Present today is a true rarity and takes form with this lovely 1931 Ford Model A Sedan. This classic beauty is almost a century old and features all its 30s charm. Need we say more?
The Ford Model A was the successor to the original mass-produced mobilizer: the Model T. It had massive shoes to fill, and fill them it did, with improvements over the Model T in terms of engineering and style. As with many cars of this era, our featured Model A has been extensively transformed with a Streetrod-style build. While the Model A retains its good looks, it now features a 305ci V8 engine for more power, coil-over suspension for a much lower stance, and a new custom interior.
The fifth generation Ford Mustang marked a major leap over the fourth generation. Debuting for the 2005 model year, it came with new retro-modern styling that really harked back to the very first generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Under the skin, the Mustang received fresh engineering, including a new platform which really elevated its driving experience as a result. Today, the earliest examples of the fifth generation will have turned, or be turning twenty years old, and soon, they’ll be classics. That’s why you shouldn’t miss your chance to get your hands on one, and we’ve got a nice 16,300-mile 2005 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible from Naples, Florida for your consideration. With a few tasty bits and a nice surprise under the hood, this is a car that you’ll really cherish owning and driving.
Ten years after the iconic first generation of the Ford Mustang was introduced, Ford released the second generation in 1974. Called the Mustang II, the second generation arrived just as the oil crisis and Malaise Era were commencing. Undeterred, Ford decided to position the Mustang II as a new kind of pony car, one that was aimed at the era of gas shortages and high fuel prices. The Mustang II was made for just four years and sold in excess of 1.1 million units. Today, it is considered not just a mere curio, but an example of the adaptability of American automakers in the face of adverse external conditions. That’s why you’ll be glad to hear that this particular 1977 Ford Mustang II Ghia is for sale in New York with less than 40,000 miles on the clock. It’s also got the Ghia Package, denoting it as a luxury variant.
Arguably the most popular pickup truck in the United States, the Ford F-Series is spearheaded by the F-150 half-ton variant. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of the F-150, even in passing. Of course, there are some aftermarket tuners who get their hands on Ford’s signature hit, and make it even more tasty. Case In Point: this thirteenth-generation 2017 Ford F-150 XLT Supercrew Roush from Johnson City, Tennessee. Roush is an aftermarket tuning outfit that’s well-known for their madcap Mustangs, but they also extend their attention and skills to other Ford products too, like the F-150. This particular truck has covered 128,512 miles so far, showcasing that even though it’s highly tuned, it can still be used as a daily commuter with ease.
