The Ford Barn

The Shay's were made with a late 70's Ford drivetrain. The radiators are close to original in appearance but they are pressurized. The rear springs load rate was also decreased since a car in the 80's weighed alot more than an A. It was supposed to be a new car that looked like it was 50 years old. The earliest cars made were not made very well - the doors did not fit to the body and rattled. The rims were not perfectly round and were made out of very thin material. To me the price people are selling them for - people should buy the real deal.
