Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer in our showroom a
rare, 1980 Shay Model A! This Black with Yellow Accents beauty is
an eye-catcher. The yellow wheels really stick out with the
whitewall tires. It's an excellent collectible. These vehicles were
produced from 1979 to 1981 and could ONLY be ordered at your local
Ford dealership. Picture yourself in the year 1980, going down to
the local Ford dealership to buy your first new car. You eye the
Pinto and Mustang as you enter the showroom, then see something in
the corner of your eye. IT's a brand new Model A!?! How could this
be possible? A gentleman by the name of Harry J. Shay founded the
Model A & Model T Motor Car Reproduction Corporation in the spring
of 1978, which allowed for these gorgeous reproductions. The name
was changed to Shay Motors Corporation in November of 1980, where
it would remain for a short period. This particular Shay Ford Model
A for sale was fitted with an 88 horsepower 2.3 liter 4 cylinder
engine. A smooth shifting 4-speed manual transmission backs it. It
runs like a top and is barely even broken in with only 18,374 miles
on it. With a lightweight body of only 1,850 lbs, people have been
known to average 30-35 MPG. The car handles like no other model A,
with front disc brakes and a rack-and-pinion steering. Other
options include manual convertible top, seat belts, and wire wheels
with radial tires. Look at this car, and you'll have yourself
thinking, "What a day, to go out in play, in my Model A, produced
by Harry Shay, out in Tampa Bay." Which can be yours, TODAY! And,
is just one call away. This 1980 Shay Model A Replica is for sale
in our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including
100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For
additional information, please call our knowledgeable staff at
