Rolls Royce has been the go to purveyor of upper echelon luxury rides with their distinct imposing styling and massive price tags. Only but the wealthiest could afford a Rolls and their massive "pantheon grill" and Spirit of Ecstasy was a status symbol. The Silver Shadow has the distinction of being the most popular Rolls ever made with over 30k produced between 1965 and 1980. Later models offered the traditional 6 ¾ litre V8 engine mated to a GM TH400 transmission. The ride quality is extraor...dinary with Citroen licensed high pressure hydropneumatic self leveling suspension. Dual circuit brakes independent rear suspension and disc brakes. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this unique 1973 Silver Shadow for your consideration. Finished in a light shade of silver blue which we believe is called Silver Mink this Rolls is an eye catching car. The paint is in excellent shape as is the chrome trim and black vinyl roof. The glass is good and has tints on all windows. Color matched hubcaps are included. The interior is in decent shape but needs some TLC. The dash is in good shape and the wood trim looks good. Instruments appear to work as does the power windows and power seats. Door trim wood has some small cracking but is intact. All trim pieces are present and the headliner is good. The blue leather seats have good padding but have a significant amount of small cracks and fading. The carpets are good and the car even has the rear seat foot rests! Rolls Royce have always been about standing out and showing success. Now is your chance to drive a beautiful Rolls Royce for a bargain. In 1973 this car had a price of over $175k if you account for inflation!
