LONG WHEELBASE SILVER SHADOW (LATER MODELS WERE CALLED SILVER WRAITH) THAT HAS SPENT ITS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA. MUCH RECENT ENGINE WORK INCLUDING: MACHINE HEAD (BOTH SIDES) NEW LIFTERS NEW MAIN BEARING NEW ROD BEARINGS COMPLETE GASKET SET NEW OIL PUMP NEW PISTON RINGS THE CAR RUNS WELL, NEW CAP, ROTOR, AND PLUGS. THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN, HOWEVER THE DOOR CAPS AND DASHBOARD HAVE HAD THE POLYESTER LACQUER REMOVED. THE SEATS AND CARPET ARE IN GOOD UNDAMAGED CONDITION. THE ELECTRIC SEATS AND WINDOWS ALL WORK AS DO LIGHTS, FANS AND WARNING LIGHTS. THE CAR IS SITTING ON BRAND NEW MICHELIN RADIAL WHITEWALL TIRES AND IS IN RUNNING DRIVING CONDITION. THERE IS NO BODY DAMAGE TO THE CAR, THE GRILL HAS A COUPLE OF DIMPLES ON THE TOP BUT IT DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE REST OF THE CAR. THE EVERFLEX TOP WAS REPLACED AT SOME POINT AND THE CAR HAS BEEN REPAINTED SOMETIME IN THE PAST. OVERALL THE CAR LOOKS GOOD BUT HAS OBVOUSLY AGED AND SHOWS IMPERFECTIONS. A GOOD SOLID EXAMPLE OF A LONG WHEELBASE MODEL WITH THE SMALL REAR WINDOW IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION AND IS COMPLETE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO. I HAVE ONE FROM ANOTHER CAR LISTED AND IT MATCHES THE STYLE FROM THIS CAR. IF YOU ARE OUT OF STATE I CAN BRING THE CAR TO YOUR SHIPPER (WITHIN REASON) AND CAN RECOMMEND SEVERAL I'VE USED FROM PAST EXPERIENCE.

I HAVE ONE FOR SALE IN MY EBAY STORE IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UNRESTORED BUT STILL IN QUITE GOOD CONDITION LONG WHEELBASE SILVER SHADOW. THE CAR SAT FOR I HAVE BEEN TOLD 10 YEARS IN A GARAGE IN PALM DESERT, I DO NOT KNOW WHY THERE WAS WORK PUT INTO THE ENGINE BUT IT STARTS IMMEDIATELY AND IS SMOOTH AND POWERFUL. THE INTERIOR IS STILL SOFT AND LOOKS GOOD, THE VINYL TOP IS ALSO IN NICE CONDITION. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN TRADES, NOT INTERESTED IN PEOPLE ASKING WHAT MY "LAST PRICE" IS AND FRANKLY MAYBE SHE WILL JUST STAY IN MY GARAGE AFTER ALL. On Jul-23-10 at 21:49:53 PDT, seller added the following information: I AM GETTING SOME EMAILS INQUIRING ABOUT THE A/C BLOWING COLD AND DRIVING THE CAR CROSS COUNTRY AND INTO THE MOUNTAINS. THIS IS NOT A MINT CONDITION SILVER SHADOW, THOSE SELL FOR UPWARDS OF $30000. THIS IS A VERY SOLID CAR WITH NO DENTS, NO RUST AND FAIR PAINT. IT IS AN ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CAR THAT RUNS AND DRIVES. OBVIOUSLY IT WILL NEED GOING THROUGH TO MAKE A DAILY DRIVER...IT HAS SAT FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS ON CALIFORNIA NON-OP REGISTRATION SO EXPECT MAINTAINANCE AND OTHER THINGS 34 YEAR OLD CARS NEED. YOU SEE THE PHOTOS, THIS IS A NICE CAR BUT NOT A MINT ONE. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST DRIVING ANY ROLLS ACROSS COUNTRY UNLESS YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THEM AND HAVE SPARES ALONG FOR THE RIDE. I WOULD NOT TAKE THIS CAR THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS FROM CALIFORNIA INTO ARIZONA...THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE PROFESSIONALLY SHIPPED IF YOU ARE NOT NEARBY. WITH THAT BEING SAID VIEW THE OTHER CARS FOR SALE ON EBAY IN SIMILAR CONDITION AND COMPARE THEM TO THIS ONE. SHE WILL NEED SOME SORTING BUT AGAIN IS IN VERY SOLID SHAPE.
