Shay built about 1,000 Model A replicas and about 200 Thunderbird replicas in 1980. Shay details at shayhistory.com I have not driven the car. The owner has died. The car has no keys and cannot start. The description is based on the best information available. A relative of the deceased owner has told me that it only needs a tune-up. It may require much more than a tune-up. The engine and many other components appear to need to be cleaned, repaired or replaced. It looks like it has been sitting for many years.
