Ford Model A (shay) on 2040-cars

US $15,500.00
Year:1979 Mileage:2500
Location:

Sandy, Utah, United States

Sandy, Utah, United States

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.

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:
