Description for Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 1966

1966 ROLLS SILVER SHADOW RHD LOW MILEAGE

WE ARE PLEASED TO PRESENT FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION THE FIFTH SILVER SHADOW PRODUCED BY ROLLS ROYCE: SRH1005! I PURCHASED THE CAR IN MID 1980'S AND DROVE IT HOME TO LAS VEGAS FROM LOS ANGELES. MY COUSIN, WHO RESIDED IN ATLANTA AND WAS A DELTA AIRLINES PILOT, INVEIGLED ME TO SELL IT TO HIM, SINCE I HAD A COUPLE OF OTHERS AS WELL. HE SHIPPED IT HOME AND KEPT IT UNTIL HIS RECENT PASSING. DURING HIS OWNERSHIP IN 1998, HE COMMISSIONED ROY BLANCHARD ROLLS ROYCE RESTORATION SHOP IN ATLANTA TO ADDRESS A LITANY OF ISSUES NEEDING REPAIR. THE SIX PAGE ACCOUNT OF SERVICES RENDERED AT CHARGE OF $10,600 IS PROVIDED IN PIX. THE MILEAGE ON CAR AT THE TIME WAS 55776. IT IS NOW 56413. A SECOND RECEIPT (55928 MILES) DOCUMENTS REPLACEMENT OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET ($330). FOLLOWING THE RESTORATION WORK, HE GARAGED THE CAR AND LOST INTEREST IN IT, HAVING MEANWHILE ACQUIRED THREE VINTAGE MERCEDES ROADSTERS.

I HAD THE CAR SHIPPED TO VEGAS AND MY MECHANIC PURGED THE FUEL SYSTEM, FITTED NEW FUEL PUMP, FILTER, POINTS, ETC. A NEW SET OF COKER CLASSIC 1.6" WHITEWALLS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. UNFORTUNATELY, DESPITE THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS SPENT ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM, THE BRAKES ARE NOW INOPERATIVE DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE LINES, WHICH OBVIOUSLY FAILED DURING STORAGE PERIOD AFTER THE EXTENSIVE WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR MAY BE MOVED ABOUT A BIT BY UTILIZING THE EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE. THE SAGE GREEN PAINTWORK IS CERTAINLY MOSTLY ORIGINAL, AS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PINSTRIPES ARE STILL INTACT, EVEN ON THE WHEEL COVERS. I HAD THE TRUNK MAT RE-MADE, UTILIZING CORRECT MATERIALS. A NEW DIE HARD BATTERY HAS BEEN FITTED.

AUCTION IS NO RESERVE WITH MODEST STARTING BID FOR LESS THAN HALF WHAT WAS SPENT ON IT WITHIN LAST 1000 MILES. THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY ANTICIPATE OUR COOPERATION WITH DELIVERY TO SHIPPING AGENT, IF NEEDED. SHORT TERM STORAGE PROVIDED WITH COMPLIMENTS. YOU MAY CHECK OUR 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK FOR ASSURANCE AS TO AUTHENTICITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. HAPPY MOTORING TO THE FORTUNATE NEW OWNER.
