Ok, so here is the story! This car was used in our real estate business to shepherd high end clients wanting to view million dollar homes in Palm Springs, CA. We have changed our business model and we now sell mostly family homes in the valley. So this car has been garaged for years!Some time ago when we planned on taking it out, we discovered that mice had chewed the wiring! So our insurance paid to have it fixed by a shop that works on classic cars. They took many months to work on this and when we picked up our car we found out that it had been stored outside in the sun, leaving us with some heat damage to the perfect leather as well as peeling varnish on some of the wood trim. So our insurance company finally decided to *total* our car. Now, since the wiring did get fixed, our car does run correctly and all it needs is to be re-licensed to drive down the road (we have all the paperwork). It still does need some work on the interior after the sun damage which was our plan but we are just too busy to get to it. So this great old car is now looking for a new owner that has time to spend on a great project.On Mar-01-18 at 12:34:13 PST, seller added the following information: * I thought I should update this auction since I kinda sped through listing this car. We did update the stereo many years ago with a removable faceplate Pioneer. But we are also including the original radio that came with the car when we bought it. That one does work for you buffs that might want to restore all the original equipment. We even have the original rear seat wool floor rugs in great shape. Also, I wanted to update you on the title information. We have all the paperwork in hand to re-license this car, and will be happy to sign anything you need to accomplish this task. Our DMV notice tells us that this will need 1. a smog check (we went thru several of these with this car and it always passed with just a little tinkering), 2. verification of the vehicle ID number by a peace officer, an authorized employee of the Department of Motor Vehicles or a licensed vehicle verifier, and 3. official brake and light adjustment certificate issued by a licensed inspection station (lights all work, and we replaced the brake pads in anticipation of the brake check). **This car does start and run, but it has sat mostly idle for many years. Takes just a minute of cranking to start it up right now. I am not a mechanic, but we didn't have any trouble with breakdowns during the years we regularly used the car. I think it is a bit low on oil now, and I've noticed an oil leak, most likely due to dried out oil gaskets. So you can expect to do some work to the engine. The body is sound, no rust. As I remember, this car came to us through a dealership that acquired it from the original owner. ***Price is right for someone looking for a 1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow to lavish with TLC.
