Ford Model A Deluxe Cabriolet

The Ford Model A came as the response from Ford to a growing competition on the U.S. car marketplace. This car launched in 1930. Its Model T produced from 1909 to 1927 had been overwhelmingly dominant until the mid-1920s, when competitors such as General Motors finally managed to adopt some of Ford’s production methods and growing more and more popular, thanks to more possibilities in terms of engines and customization.

Over its four-year career, the Model A was proposed with no less than 35 different body variants and more than 4.8 million Model As were sold.
In 1930, the Model A maintained its popularity with the addition of wider fenders, a higher hood line, and a choice of stainless steel or nickel-plated radiators. Balloon tires, which decreased in diameter from 21 to 19 inches, gave the car a lower stance and a fresh look. A few options on the Model A included a single side mount, a radiator ornament, wind vanes, a radiator stone guard and a rear-view mirror.
The Model A we are offering for sale is one of the most desirable coachworks produced by Ford. 3 Roadster types were available, the Roadster Deluxe being the middle-range choice. Within the various options available to buyers, this particular Model A is equipped with a rumble seat and the Cabriolet chrome package.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500

the Shelby Mustangs were equipped with a modified 289ci V8, but in 1967 the GT500 is launched, equipped with a big 428ci V8 PI (for Police Interceptor), officially rated at 360 HP but under-estimated so as not to frightened the insurance companies.

The GT500 shares the new shape of the 67 Mustang, but with Shelby add-ons, such as specific tail lights, or body elements in fiber. The engine is fitted with an aluminium intake manifold and a pair of four barrel Holley carburetors. The suspensions were reinforced version of the Mustang GT's, and the GT500 was equipped with standard disc brakes. It was also the first american car to be equipped with a roll-bar as standard.

The superb Shelby GT500 we are proud to offer is 1967 model fitted with the automatic gearbox. The history is clear from the delivery to a Boston based Ford dealer until its importation in Europe, and the sale to the present owner.

The car is is a stunning original condition. The deep blue paint is shinny, the interior is near perfect, and the engine gearbox, and all mecanical components are working like a dream. The car retains its original specification, except the front seats that come from a more comfortable 71 mach1, and the steering wheel that is not original. these elements can be found on the market if needed.

Ford Mustang 289 Cabriolet

This Car released in 1964, the Ford Mustang aimed to take the car market by storm with a product that offered performance and personality to the masses. Thought by its creators as the American VW Beetle, the large variety of engine and optional features allowed for each customer to create his perfect Mustang.

For the 1967 model-year, the Mustang received its first redesign. While the overall lines remained unchanged, it seemed as every detail had grown. The overall length increased, the main grill grew, the wheel arches became more prominent. Most Mustang aficionados consider 1967 the best model year before its design features became too exaggerated.

This Ford Mustang is one of 44,000 convertibles sold that year by Ford. Equipped with the optional 289 ci V8, it started its life in California where the current owner purchased it more than 10 years ago. This Mustang had always been carefully maintained by its consecutive owners.

After he purchased it, the owner decided to offer this Mustang a new youth. The venerable cast-iron 289 gave way to an all-new alloy 302 ci from Ford Motorsport, which develops 350 bhp. Several mechanical components were also overhauled and replaced, including the exhaust system and the radiator. Suspensions and brakes were also overhauled.
