1973 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

For sale in our Dallas showroom is a fabulous car. This splendid 1973 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with hardtop and LHD comes with lustrous Brewster Green paint on its classic contoured exterior, and is accented by well preserved, shiny chrome and dual gold leaf midline pinstripes which contrast elegantly with the rich dark green of the exterior and tastefully enhance the hubcaps in concentric rings.

This is a 2 owner car, always garaged, carefully driven, and routinely maintained and serviced as befits a hand-assembled creation of such quality and distinction. The original owner of 40+ years used it as his executive company car, and as such all routine servicing was meticulously attended to. This Silver Shadow is no garage queen – it has been driven as it was designed and intended to be for 152,000 miles, though the odometer shows only 52,000 miles. That’s an average of 3,455 gentle miles per year for its 44 years of distinguished service to date. The 6.75-liter V8 runs well, and the sublime ride is enhanced by the fully functional power windows, power door locks, power steering, power front seats, 4-wheel disc brakes with power assist, 2-speed wipers with intermittent and washer functions, cruise control, hydraulic actuated telescoping antenna and automatic leveling system, and impact absorbing bumpers. It has been fitted with the correct 205 VR 15 radial blackwall tires. The body is straight and accident free. Upgrades include leather covered steering wheel, remote door locks, electronic ignition, retrofit of A/C from R12 to R134a refrigerant, and replacement of the center console 8-track with AM/FM stereo and CD. Recent mechanical work includes GM Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission rebuild, radiator repair and coolant flush, hydraulic system flush, rebuild of brake accumulators, replacement of front suspension cross beams/ball joints/seals/boots, alignment of front end, oil/filter change, and new spare tire (receipts available).

The plush interior is as strikingly well maintained as the exterior. The original Connolly leather hide upholstery is finished in a sophisticated tan and is in very good condition with no cracks or tears. The majestic burl walnut wood trim, dashboard, and console are original and have been refinished to their original perfection. The original wool headliner is in very good condition, as are the wool carpets and the rear seat foot rests. All interior features and functions are fully operational. The A/C is cold and the heat is hot. The clock works well, but does stop occasionally. The radio has been replaced with a stainless steel storage cubby hole. The original owner’s manual, jack, and tool kit are still in place.The features include AC, AM/FM Radio, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks, Power Seats, Power Windows, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, Radial Tires, and Hub Caps.
