Hi, Guys just bought a Shays for half of the price , that I sold my Original 1930 Ford Roadster.
Let me tell,the shays does not grind gears when you are shifting.It goes over 50 mph all day long. It does not steer like a truck.
It would of cost me around $2,300 to put an over drive in,another $4,000 plus to over haul my motor for touring,around $800 for steering,$1,500 for a synchronize transmission, Plus$$$$. It still feels funny that I can shift from 1st to 2nd above 5 mph ,without grinding, I exspect it,but it does not Happen! We all know it is a repro,but I tell You when I get in it, it feels the same to me,as my Sold 1930 Roadster.The same Yells from kids,thumbs up from adults,and I have $$$$ in the Bank.
You Guys are doing more good for the Model A clubs ,and the Model As in general,in my opinion because you are driving them, the youth see them,the youth is the Future.
