for sale
Price: US $2,550.00
Price: US $2,550.00
Rolls Royce has always had a reputation for superior
engineering quality and created a luxury car that would stand the test of
time. This British car manufacturing
company put out a high quality product and was even responsible for setting
land and air speed records back in the day. For many years in the automobile world, Rolls Royce was primarily
building chassis with the bodies being left to specialist coach builders. The Silver Shadow however was one of the
first totally Rolls Royce built cars and proved to be one of the most popular
models they ever created. This Silver
Shadow Saloon is a nice original car that has a fully documented history. It even comes with the original check lists
in the construction and test records. The car was built in the Crewe, UK factory and from there was purchased
in Zurich, Switzerland by a USA Diplomat. The original owner then relocated the car to New York where it was
purchased by a 2nd owner who took the car to California and then Hawaii. There it was then used as part of a limo
service. The current owner purchased the
car 2.5 years ago and had it brought back to Texas. It is a nice running car that has been kept
mostly original other than a few restored pieces here and there. It is coated in a nice White paint that looks
perfect with the Tan vinyl top. All of
the chrome and stainless is in good shape and all in place. One of the more unique features of the car is
the power sunroof which was a rare factory option on these cars that you don't
see very often. The original style
wheels/hubcaps are found under all four corners and wrapped with tires that
have plenty of life left.
Powering the car is the original 6.75L V8 that
starts up smoothly and runs well. This
is paired with a GM sourced Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission which
is the original set up. One of the more
innovative features on the car is the high pressure hydraulic system that
provides dual circuit braking and a rear hydraulic self-leveling suspension
which helped to provide a very smooth ride. In 1977 these cars became the Silver Shadow II and one of the major
changes included improved handling and rack and pinion steering.
The interior is just as luxurious as you would
expect with White upholstery with woodgrain accents throughout. The upholstery is showing minor signs of wear
in spots but there is no rips, tears, or major damage. The front bucket seats are very comfortable
and feature fold down arm rests. They
sit to each side of the original center console which provides extra storage
space. Being a luxury car the car is
packed with all the power options you would expect including power windows and
locks. The dash is all original with all
of the factory knobs, gauges, switches, etc. The car also features heat/AC which is working but will need some
tune-up in the near future. The carpeted
trunk of the car provides plenty of storage space and houses the battery.
