TITLE: 1930 Model A Shay (Jordan) OPENING: Built in 1980, this is one of the popular Shay Model A replicas produced from ’79-’82. Originally intended for a run of 10,000, only 5,000 were produced. Demand was high, but they were all hand built by teams of 4 rather than by assembly line. Equipped with a Pinto 4-cylinder engine and a 4 -speed manual transmission, it’s perfect for Summertime fun. Call Jordan at (612) 290-9299 with any questions you may have.

Shay planned a limited run of 10,000 units, exempting it from Federal regulations, but just 5,000 were made. With the outward appearance of the classic 1930 Model A the Shay offered more power, better handling and the kind of dependability you wouldn’t expect from the original. In fact a number of design patents for its modern components were applied for and awarded. It even came with a 12 month, 12k mile warranty!
