Vehicle Detail
This Rolls Royce was aquired from an inheritance and is sold as is where is. No reserve auction. Clean california title. No back fees are due. No Smog necessary. This is a 4 door saloon which ran 4 years ago and nothing has been done with it since. It did start and drive then, however we found it was leaking gasoline somewhere around the gas tank area so it was not moved. The muffler was also rusted so it sounds like a muscle car, not like a Rolls Royce is supposed too. The leather is the original hides from 1967 and are in poor shape with exception of the doors, ceiling, and dash which are in good condition. In my opinion, the two front seats need to be reupholstered, the rest is good unless you wanted a show car. The transmission is the factory 4 speed automatic which we believe it to be a General Motors Transmission. The engine is a 6230cc L410 V8. This rolls royce has disc brakes, independent rear suspension. It appears that the self levelling suspension has been replaced as whoever installed the new high pressure hydraulic system, left the old steel tubing right along next to it. There were over 25,000 Silver Shadows made, which is the highest number of all rolls royce to date. This means parts are much easier to obtain. As stated previously, the car has not been started in 4 years, however, all the fluids are good and the car has been parked on clean cement, interestingly, not one drip of oil has fallen on the ground which is pretty amazing. There are a few dents and rust spots on the car here and there, (I would say it needs a paint job) one of the headlights appears to be needing replacement, the air intake on the engine has a small rip right after the air filter. we dont know what has been replaced on the engine but it appears the starter solenoid or relay has been replaced or something because there are newer style wires there. the R12 air conditioning system appears original and we do not know if it works or not. the right rear tail lamp is missing the top portion of the plastic. there are two trim peices on the car that are missing alone with one on the rear of the trunk. the chrome around the car is in good shape with exception to the left front bumper which has rust. (the front bumper is 5 peices so you only have to rechrome one piece.) The glass is all perfect. no chips on the front windshield and the rear windshield has the built in heater core. the back seats both have the picnic style fold out wooden tables. these appear to be in good shape. The wood trim on the dash is average for its age. A nice new coat of laquer would really set it off. The nice thing about all the wood in the car is that it is real solid burlwood, not laminate peices like the new rolls royce's have in them. They are thick and can be sanded down and re lacquered without fear of sanding the wood off. the car has 99,898 original miles on it. It was owned and enjoyed by one person for many years until he passed away. Previous to that, the original owner purchased it at the Rolls royce dealer in Rybrook, Birmingham, England. The car comes with a spare tire and original tire jack. We will help with arraingments for shipping, however, we do not have the means to transport it, therefore arraingments will need to be made to pick it up from Granite Hills, San Diego, California. This car is almost 50 years old so please do not expect a perfect car. This one needs some TLC to get back on the road, but you can rest assured the engine and tranny should be good to go once you fix the above mentioned.
