1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow... Only 46,256 Original Miles, Great For Restore on 2040-cars
|
1971 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SHADOW... Only 46,256 Original Miles, Great for Restore You are looking at a real classic. Rolls Royce has always been known for luxury. Back in 1971 this beautiful classic was the top of technology, nothing could compete with what Rolls Royce had. Even today this awesome ride still turns heads. For the past 20 + years this 1971 Rolls Royce has been sitting parked in some mans garage. I was lucky enough to find it just in time. The last owner clams to be the second owner. He intended to one day fix her up to showroom condition but due to age he was not able to make his dream a reality. I purchased this fine ride a few months ago for my wedding rental business. I have decided from what the Rolls Royce mechanic told me (see below) to purchase a Silver Cloud. About two weeks ago I took to a Rolls Royce mechanic to assess the problems and quote me on what it will take to get her in pristine shape. She does run however she will need a new battery soon, the brakes are weak and will need to be tuned up, the engine is great but will need a tune up as well and a new engine mount (the original mount is broken). I did not have him fix anything, just had him tell me what was the problem an to give me an estaminet. The seats will need to be recovered, a new paint job will need to be done and some other things will need attending to. The total estimated cost to get her in great showroom shape is $9,000 - $11,000. Once this is done she would be worth between 35 and $40,000 +. Like I said this is restoring her to pristine shape. If you did not care about the overall condition as pictured you could spend $1,000 - $2,000 fixing the engine and brakes to make a great daily or sunday driver. I would like to note there is some pictures I provided of the front hood where bondo was applied quite some time ago, the car was not wrecked however the professionals say it was to cover some minor rust that was starting to show. There are some cracks in the paint as pictured. This I have seen on hundreds of Silver Shadows, must be from the thick coat of paint applied when hand built in the 70s. Included in this auction are 5 manuals that go over every part of the car so anyone can fix anything that needs it. Value on the manuals, $500.00. Please note there is some spots of rust, major spots are pictured. This Rolls Royce has a solid metal body and can be sanded down when restored so this baby will shine once again. This is NOT a vinyl top but a metal top, way better in my opinion. Wheels and tires are in great shape, rims are beautiful and will not need restoring. I have tried my best to describe this classic in every way however the pictures tell the real story so please take a look at all 50 pictures I have provided for you. Thanks for looking, GOOD LUCK and please let me know with any questions. SHIPPING Buyer is responsible for all shipping, I will allow shipping over seas however buyer must arrange shipping or provide container. Thanks for looking |

Rolls-Royce wrapped a Ghost in gold for Antonio Brown's Super Bowl use
Sun, Feb 7 2016Well, don't I feel like a jerk. While in San Diego earlier this week for the Honda Civic Coupe launch, I stumbled across a Rolls-Royce Phantom that had been wrapped in a chrome/polished gold finish. It was atrocious, so I took a picture, posted it on Facebook, and captioned it by suggesting that Charles Rolls and Henry Royce were turning in their graves. Now, the company those two men lent their names to have wrapped a Ghost in a very similar style for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown to drive around San Francisco during Super Bowl 50. It's not clear why Brown is in San Francisco, since his team never made it past the AFC Divisional Playoff. But his love of Rolls-Royce motorcars is no secret. Brown made headlines in the sporting world in July of 2015 for his Phantom. Sporting a matte-black finish with a wide yellow stripe down the middle – just like the Steelers' helmets – the car also wore whitewall tires and bore Brown's signature in a gloss decal. This wrapped Ghost is about as tasteful. Its semi-gloss gold finish is broken up by the silver hood, while Brown's catchphrase, "Business Is Boomin" is displayed along the doors. The front fenders feature Brown's initials and his number. At least there aren't whitewall tires. You can check out the one-off Ghost in the gallery above. Or you could do the sensible thing and forget this thing ever existed. Related Video:
Six luxury-car features I'm ashamed to admit I love
Thu, 16 Oct 2014A hot compress felt wonderful on my sore back. The methodical kneading of my shoulder blades loosened the knots that formed over several hours of driving. The Swedish-style pulses firing into my lumbar region released more tension.
I wasn't getting a much-needed massage following a recent road trip. I was getting it during the road trip.
I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Nova. But once you use these lux features, it's easy to go soft.
Rolls-Royce shows bespoke Pinnacle Travel Phantom in Beijing
Fri, 18 Apr 2014Rolls-Royce is exclusive. Rolls-Royce's Bespoke Collection, though, takes that exclusivity to the highest levels, representing the very finest work that the craftsmen at the company's Goodwood factory are capable of producing. With the Pinnacle Travel Phantom, set to be shown at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, Rolls-Royce may have finally outdone itself. Apparently, the puzzling name (as well as the reason it's being shown in Beijing) comes from China's second consecutive year as the largest outbound travel market in the world.
The one-off custom job wears a gorgeous two-tone paint scheme, with a section of Silver Sand and a lot of Madeira Red paint. The intricate coachline includes a few small details that just add to the exterior's specialness.
The cabin, though, is where the work has really been done. It has throw pillows, for crying out loud. Ignoring the silvery poofs on the back seats, the cabin is dominated by Morello Red and Seashell leather, the former of which is on the seats, doors and interior partition. The woodwork, is some of the most beautiful we've seen from Rolls-Royce, which is saying something.
