MOVIE STAR!!! Gorgeous! Starred in Iron Man III. Have all relevant documentation and correspondence with Iron Works Production 3, LLC and production company's Picture Car Coordinator John Armstrong. The exterior is visually stunning! And its original! Have color copy of original check from Iron Works Productions 3, LLC, No. 004043, drawn on Citibank N.A. 787 west 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071. Was used as the "The Masters" limo. Probably the nicest preserved most beautiful 1982 Silver Spur in the Southeastern United States. Also have all the original owners documents, manuals, and maintenance records all lovingly preserved in a beautiful official Rolls-Royce leather bound book. Even today I have learned more information regarding the car, and I know there are people out there who are insatiably curious. I also happen to personally think the car is worth WAY more than $50,000.00, regarding both its Movie Star past, its ridiculously low miles, and its ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL condition. The paint, chrome, and interior have never been restored, or redone, its all original!There are reasons for that as I learned just this morning July 9th. On the other hand I am not a car mechanic or expert, BUT I am definitely a serious enthusiast with a background in exotics and an official of the SCCA (Pit Steward) all the way back to 1973. I worked for the US Navy for 32 years as a technical expert. Eleven years was active duty and twenty one of those years was as civilian technical expert. Ten of those years I spent as a civilian was as a US Navy technical expert to the Egyptian Navy. I can fix anything! I had a terrible heart attack while serving in Egypt, I now live in a nursing home, and discovered the car sitting in a used car lot, while passing in the nursing home bus. I stopped the bus and talked to the owner of the car lot and asked about the Rolls, he said it was his personal car but had not run in years, something on it was broken. He didn't know what, he also mentioned that it had been in the movie Iron Man III, and produced the paperwork you see here. The car lot owners two mechanics were too chicken to tackle the Rolls even as it sat there years. I asked the owner foolishly if I could try to fix it for him for free. He took me up on the offer and I finally got the car working, a bad fuel pump at the rear of the car, plus a bad starter relay. It also needed about three and a half quarts of transmission fluid. It runs like a swiss watch, rides wonderfully, I must admit I have never been so impressed with a car before. I started the car once and got distracted and when my attention returned I thought, --nuts it didn't start, ---- but it was running, at idle! It was so silent and vibrationless that I thought it hadn't started. WOW! By the way I get nothing not even a commision for the sale of this vehichle, just the joy of fixing it and doing an old man a good deed. I have congestive heart failure and an implanted defibrillator, if my cardiologist knew I was working on this car he would have a fit. I worked under the car for a week up on jackstands and hydraulic floor jacks, ouch. The car was bought new in 1982 by a little old lady from New York state who lived in West Palm Beach, Florida. As it turns out a very rich little old lady. She died sometime in the 1980's and her estate went into probate, which lasted for 14 years! For that entire 14 years the Rolls Royce sat in the back of her garage undiscovered. Once probate was closed, the new owners of the property decided to bulldoze the existing house and garage. Fortunately, someone checked the garage before the bulldozers reduced the garage to rubble. The new owners of the property contacted the probate lawyer in NY City who had handled the estate and they delegated a partner in Charleston, SC to handle it. One of the men in the Charleston, SC law office decided to buy it from the estate, and he owned it for three months. He then auctioned it here in Charleston to the current owner, so there has been three owners! It has never been in an accident or even a fender bender, as I said ALL the paint and chrome are ORIGINAL. Basically, the current owner hung on to it for the fun of it and could never find a buyer in the Summerville/Charelston area, although he did try. At one point one of the owners employees put the car on E-Bay two or three years ago, asking at that time a ridiculous price for it. Iron Works Productions at that time was filming Iron Man III in North Carolina, and needed a suitable car for the villian to drive, "The Master". Iron Works Productions contacted the current owner, I am not sure how, because the current owner, basically can't use a computer. In the end Iron Works Productions rented the car for a few days in North Carolina for the movie. Shortly, after its movie appearrance the owner was giving an employee a ride in it and ran out of gas. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the rear mounted fuel injection pump would continue to run with a dry fuel tank if the ignition key was left in run. After, finally realizing they needed to put gas in the car the fuel pump had already been destroyed. They had it towed back to the lot and it sat there for years until I came along. The car is completely original, and definitely actually worth way more $50,000.00 dollars! Its interesting early history, movie history, and its originality make it one of a kind. Someone please be serious and we will come to an arrangement on sale of the car. With of course every penny going to the owner, he has way too many friends lately that really weren't. And for the insatiably curious, yup, thats the motor home I cleaned the rats out of in February, 2014. I realize that there are alot of fluff pictures here and I will remove and add more of the car, but the insatiably curious have I hope been satisfied. If more satisfaction is required I have contacted my hospital and found that they can provide my medical records in 5 days regarding the time I was admitted to the hospital while working on this car. Further, I have a considerable library of pictures from my ten years in Egypt which I could provide if requested. I also included pictures of the nursing home bus and the driver I discovered the car with out front of my nursing home. Yes that is also the nursing home bus in the parking lot of the car lot where I found the car. I included pictures of my pacemaker/defibrillator and pictures of the seventeen pills a day I take to control my congestive heart failure. There are also pictures of my back and elbows from crawling in the gravel underneath the car to fix it, but I left those out. Also pictures of where I worked on it, thats a a book all by itself. I'd love to take the silly stuff off and give you more pictures of the car, -- just ask. As you might guess the nursing home staff/management has taken a dim view of my activities and admonished me not to undertake these types of projects in the future bacause of its adverse effect on my physical health. On the other hand, the nursing home staff/management were amazed at the degree of detail required to be taken seriously here at E-Bay. I will attempt today the 10th of July to find out the name of the little old lady in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was raised a southwestern Minnesota farmboy, a slight exaggerration, as my father was a physician at the Mayo Clinic, but we did live WAY out in the country. Rochester, Minnesota is also home to one of the largest Amish communities in the United States, and I must admit although not Amish I have adopted much of their worldview. That we are placed here to help and love one another, this often gets me into trouble due to naivete. So I am not the greatest salesman, but I am terribly sincere. Remember, life should always be fun, but its not always a game. |

Ringbrothers' 'Paramount' 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II wafts into SEMA
Wed, Nov 1 2023Perennial SEMA show stars Mike and Jim Ring, known as Ringbrothers, brought three builds to Las Vegas this year. There's "Tusk," the Hellephant-powered 1969 Dodge Charger, and there's "Uncaged," a 1965 Ford Mustang that calls back to one of their builds from last year, a 1964.5 Mustang christened "Caged." These two represent the kind of confections we're familiar with from the Wisconsin-based brothers, American metal done up with marvelous lines and monstrous engines. The third build comes out of left field — or perhaps that's right field, depending on your perspective of the map. Known as "Paramount," it is a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II embodying the ideal balance of restraint and intervention. As we said of the Eneos 1969 Jaguar E-Type XKE 2+2 with the Toyota 2JZ engine, it's the kind of Frankenstein build we love to see at SEMA. The two Rings held themselves back from changing the sedan's lines, a rare and, in this case, excellent show of standoffishness. There's almost nothing to give the game away outside except the Ringbrothers badge on the trunk. An enthusiast would eventually notice the rolling stock, yet even the 18-inch EVOD Industries wheels in Falken rubber comply with the historic look and maintain proportions that respect the Paramount aura — finished here in BASF Glasurit's White as Fluff paint. The wheels hide what would be a glaring tell, Baer Pro six-piston calipers clamping 15-inch rotors. Likewise with the interior, where an oversized steering wheel with knurled spokes, ornate gauges and discrete billet switchgear, seats and picnic tables wrapped in blood red leather, and even the headliner with its 1,000 hand-sewn LEDS convey the appropriate depth of genuine Rolls-Royce veneer. And no one can spot the carbon fiber instrument panel and door cards behind the actual veneers. That headliner is a nod to modern Rolls, as are the gyroscopic center caps in the wheels that ensure the "RR" remains upright. We've never seen a Rolls-Royce with a custom rear armrest hiding two small bottles of Don Julio tequila, though. Everything else? All the bits you can't or rarely see? Gone. The original dual-carb 6.2-liter V8 that produced 185 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque retired to Cornwall, replaced by a Corvette's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 making 640 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque.
Artistic Rolls-Royce Phantom challenges the Cybertruck for 2019's most polarizing ride
Thu, Dec 19 2019Rolls-Royce has been getting in touch with its artistic side all throughout 2019. With a variety of custom features, bespoke options, and exclusive partnerships, Rolls-Royce has shown a Phantom with a rose garden interior, a basket of pastel-colored rides for Pebble Beach, and a red Phantom that supports AIDS research, among others. Each model stands out for its own reasons, but none are remotely as visually eye-popping as the newest project, a Phantom by U.S. artist Bradley Theodore. Although no official announcement was made, Rolls-Royce of Abu Dhabi posted the polarizing work across its social pages. The batch of photos might immediately look a bit, umm, messy, but the style perfectly aligns with his usual themes. Theodore, who is from Turks and Caicos and was raised in New York City and Miami, is known for his bold use of color. He and Rolls-Royce have partnered up in the past, and he previously painted a Wraith. He's also created unique interpretive paintings of other Rolls-Royce cars, the Spirit of Ecstasy, and the R-R badge. Those pieces can be seen on his website. This Phantom's new skin combines shades of blue, purple, red, yellow, and white over a dark paint job. Some lines follow the Phantom's curves and edges, while others create new shapes. Inside, there's two-toned dark blue and cream leather, blue contrast stitching and glossy wood accents. A starlight headliner adds some sparkle to the package.

A 1985 Ford Escort for $915,000? If it was owned by Princess Diana
Sun, Sep 3 2023What makes a used car worth more than the car itself? If it was owned by John Lennon. Or Muhammad Ali. Michael Schumacher, perhaps, or Stirling Moss. This year’s edition from the Hagerty organization of its “Power List” makes for amusing reading even if youÂ’re not on it. But you can make believe that you are. Essentially, the list, which was launched only last year, tracks the impact of celebrity ownership of a vehicle on its value, as measured by its worth at auction. Nearly 400 sales of celebrity cars and bikes have been analyzed from around the world by Hagerty using market data and “expert” analytics. Hagerty is aware, certainly, that famous folks — from royalty, sports, movies and music — grab gobs of attention from ordinary people. ThatÂ’s why the 2023 Power List comprises these categories: Art Cars, Racing Drivers, Movies and TV, Musicians, Royalty, Screen Stars, Sporting Icons. But you don't have to be a rock star or a F1 pilot to get listed: Princess Diana, besides an Escort Turbo RS that she owned between 1985 and 1988, numbered a convertible 1994 Audi 80 Cabriolet and a Jaguar XJS Cabriolet among her rides. HereÂ’s a look at some of the more notable entries: Racing driver category: In pole position was an unlikely titleholder, a 1976 Ford Bronco. This was the car bought new by legendary Canadian Formula 1 driver Gilles Villeneuve and untouched since his death; it sold at the Aguttes auction in Paris last December for $148,000, a huge 210% increase over the $47,800 that Hagerty would value a regular example in the same condition. Just a note: The list doesnÂ’t include race cars, only vehicles kept privately by the drivers. Musicians: A 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow had been Freddie MercuryÂ’s personal chauffeur-driven transport from 1979 until his death in 1991. Without celebrity ownership, Hagerty would value the Silver Shadow at a lowly $9,500, a car that would take a lot of time, effort and money to restore properly. But add in MercuryÂ’s aura and bids ended at $362,500. “ItÂ’s no surprise that MercuryÂ’s car dominated our Musicians list on the 2023 Hagerty Power List,” the company said. Movies and TV: For those readers now emerging from hibernation since 1968, the news is that the historic Highland Green Mustang from “Bullitt” remains at the top of the Power List for the second year running.
