Ford Model A (shay) on 2040-cars

The Shays were built with brand new Ford Pinto Running Gear (from 1979) and sold throughout the USA by Ford dealers.   I bought my 1979 Super Deluxe Shay approximately 15-years ago, when it had about 2400 miles on the odometer, but I only drove it a few hundred miles since I own it.  I updated the dash and added new gauges (see pictures)   It has an automatic transmission and the Pinto 2.4 engine. Changes I have done are:

 A. New upholstered canopy.

 B. Custom Bucket Seats and carpet (Only someone under 5’-2” can sit in the original seats – I’m 6’-2”)

C. For safeguard I replaced seals in Transmission, replaced engines seals, valve cover gasket, and timing belt, hoses. 

D. Replaced shocks and corrected the vertical adjustment. (Needed on all Shays)

E. Replaced Wheels with the modern powder coated wheels and new tires.

F. Added custom all wood Trunk.  (It still has the original trunk).

G. Laser etched wing windows.

H. MP3 – CD player.  

I. Build-in Tool Box w/ jack under the rumble seat.

J. New paint job last year.

L. New muffler and catalytic converter.  It has no problem passing safety and emissions test.  It runs perfect.

M. Completely rewired the car with all new wiring.  Since it has a fiberglass body, almost all the Shays out there have electrical issues.  This car has absolutely no electrical problems.  Replaced battery this week.

N. New Steering Column, Steering Wheel and pedals.

O. Custom Dash and new gauges.

I hate to sell it, but I have added too much to my shop and don’t have room for it anymore.   Also, the Hallmark trailer can be included.  I have doubled the floor and ramp thickness w/ addition 3/4 plywood and epoxy paint.  I won’t sell the trailer separate unless I sell the car first.   Trailer additional $2,500.00

$500 due as purchase, balance by wire transfer or cash with 5-days.  Sorry no Cashiers or Personal Checks.  Sold AS-IS, however, you can look and we can go for a test drive it.
