This is a Shay Motor Company production vehicle out of Battlecreek Michigan . 200 chassis were purchased from Ford Motor Company , this one with a 2.3 4 cylinder and a 4 speed . The car has a removable top to make it into a convertable in a matter of minutes by removing 4 thumbscrews and releasing 2 clips . As i mentioned it is a 1 of 200 production vehicle . After they purchased the chassis from ford a fiberglass body was installed and all the 1955 tbird chrome and bumpers . In my opinion they were a little before there time with a modern drive train and the classic 1955 tbird look !! The car runs and drives but should be trailed home as the tires look like new but are weather-checked .If you go to the shay website it is very informative and interesting ! The car has only 20402 miles on it and looks to be completely original .The paint is not too bad but the car needs a good cleanup and a buffing . Thanks for looking and happy bidding !! Any questions you may call 319-330-1384 Thanks Dave.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.
2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang
Mon, 01 Jul 2013If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.
