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 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.
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.
The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake, unofficially called the GT500 Super Snake, is a Ford Mustang GT on steroids. Built on the Mustang’s then-new S550 chassis, the new model actually lost some power compared to its predecessor. However it more than made up for it with increased agility and handling. As many car enthusiasts have mentioned, this has been one of the most well-balanced Mustang Shelbys to ever hit the road. The increase of power is mainly achieved with a supercharger, but also thanks to a custom Borla exhaust. Not all the work was done under the hood — as expected the Super Snake received signature Shelby restyling that made it stand apart from a standard Mustang. With a mere 6,560 miles clocked on the odometer, this serialized car from Shelby American - 1SSS0017 is for sale in Richmond, Texas.
The car that started off the whole Pony Car craze, and the only one existing to this day, the Ford Mustang is a light that shines bright in American automotive history. While it entered the seventh generation in 2024, every single generation of Mustang has had something special going for it. Add to it that many Mustangs saw magic at the hands of Carroll Shelby, you can understand why the 'Stang is a national treasure and why so many people lust after one. If you’re one of those people, and want a truly special Mustang, check out this rare 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Convertible. This all-stock car is available with a mere 9,522 miles on the odometer, and a truly awe-inspiring powertrain.
