Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 About five years ago, I returned to Michigan to work for a while and I left my Rolls parked in my Aventura Florida condominium. The work turned into a five-year commitment, off and on, but I did not drain the fuel before I parked it. I WILL SHIP IT FREE UP TO 99 MILES FROM MY APARTMENT IN MIAMI FLORIDA A Florida mechanic gave me a price of $2500 to change the fuel lines and start the car. I am retired now, and my budget is limited. My loss can be your gain. If you are a private person, whatever you spend on the Rolls will be returned to you with a large profit when you sell the restored vehicle. Following is an exhaustive list of the items that have to be restored, refinished, or replaced. The pictures actually tell the story, and there are pictures of everything. Starting with: Paint: the car is two-tone, dark blue and light blue. There is bubbling of the paint and each of the four windows. There are several other paint blemishes that I have photographed, and the question of whether the car should be completely repainted, is a matter for you to decide. Chrome: the chrome (except for the distinctive Rolls-Royce grill) will require a lot of work (or a rechroming) to restore. The Rolls grill and Winged Victory are virtually perfect. This includes the bumpers. Inside: the inside of the car is in good to excellent shape. Headliner: the headliner is excellent, a photo shows it Wood: all the wood is an excellent shape except for the passenger side piece which has a bubble. The dashboard wood is excellent Seats: the rear seat is in excellent condition and looks almost new. The front seats have custom blue lambswool covers on both, and I believe that the leather is worn on both, because I do not think I would have covered them in the lambswool otherwise. Gauges: the gauges worked perfectly before I parked it five years ago Radio: the radio worked perfectly before I parked Electric door locks: the right rear passenger seat window door lock does not work Nardi steering wheel: this also requires rechroming or refinishing Air-Conditioning: a conditioning worked fine before I parked Rugs: are worn in the front seats and the trunk, and they need replacement Engine: the engine ran well before I parked it. It burned a quart of oil at oil change -- every 3000 miles. For everything else, see the photographs. If there is a photograph missing, ask me to supply it and I will. Restoration: if you were to restore the car, it will cost you about $10,000. You are starting with a good car that was well-maintained, and you will have a beauty when you are finished. Use for parts: if you are going to use the car to sell off the parts, you can make a small fortune. Check out the prices for a pristine Rolls-Royce grill; body parts; seats; steering wheel, etc.
