Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is presenting a 1985 Ford Camelot Roadster for sale. The Camelot Shay is a reproduction of the 1928 / 1929 Ford Model A. These cars were manufactured by the Camelot/ Shay Motor Company and were distributed by the Ford dealer network. Orders were taken by Ford dealers starting in 1978. The build was limited to 10,000 vehicles to avoid federal regulations. The original plan was for this to be the first of a classic series that would feature a different model each year. Built on the frame of a Pinto, the cars also shared a common powertrain the 2.3ltr 4 cylinder and automatic transmission. The Shay is a unique vehicle. It is not a Pinto and it is not a model A. They have developed a strong following over the years and even have a club of enthusiasts. It is fun to own and fun to drive a car that can be bought for a modest price. You will have a hard time finding a car that will draw as much attention for the dollar as Shay will. This one is finished in Gray with a black vinyl interior.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
