FOR SALE 1930 Ford Model A C-cab Panel Van, $15,000 / OBO
1929 Ford Model A reproduction (1980 Shay Model A). Rare C-cab Panel Van, only 2 or 3 of this model were produced by Shay. This is a replica of a 1930 Model A as far as we can tell.
You can go to www.shayhistory.com to view in-depth details about the Shay Model A.
2.3 liter 4 cylinders, automatic, rack & pinion steering, front disc brakes. 11,847, believed to be actual, miles. Has original front door side curtains. Dual chrome Aoogha Horns need to be restored. The drive train is that of a 1980 Ford, the frame is custom-built for Shay. The body is all fiberglass, except for the engine hood. The original canvas that covered the fiberglass roof has deteriorated from the Arizona sun. It can either be replaced or the roof can be painted the same color as the vehicle when it is repainted. The vehicle will eventually need to be repainted. One of the rear door hinges is broken but the other rear door operates correctly. The side opening panels will need new locking arms but both do open, close and latch. One of the prior owners had installed what appears to be beer keg taps on the side opening panels.
Mechanically the vehicle appears to be sound. It has a new set of tires, new battery & a new master cylinder. All other mechanical components appear to be original. The automatic transmission has a small transmission fluid leak. There are no apparent engine or radiator leaks. The original exhaust pipe will need to be replaced.
The vehicle is fully functional and is being sold “as is”. It is not in show car condition and does need some TLC.
The vehicle has a clean Missouri title and is titled as a 1930 Ford Tudor.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
2013 Ford Mustang V6
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Secretary Trim, Evolved
There was a time not so long ago when opting for a base Ford Mustang meant getting little more than some sheetmetal, an anemic four-cylinder engine and what may very well have been the world's most disappointing automatic transmission. During the Fox Body years, Ford seemed hell-bent on living up to Carroll Shelby's derogatory description of the coupe as little more than a runabout for demure office assistants, and the result was a base model with fewer sporting intentions than a Dilbert day calendar.
Some 20 years later, hopping behind the wheel of an entry-level pony is an entirely different experience. With all of the menacing aesthetics of the brawnier GT, a well-equipped interior and a drivetrain that toes the line between efficiency and power better than few before it, the 2013 Ford Mustang V6 is an attractive option for buyers in the big coupe market. But is it attractive enough to forgo the beastly GT?
Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
