Vehicle Description
This is a timeless symbol of elegance. The 1978 Rolls-Royce Silver
Shadow II is an icon of the upper class. And this example has the
right level of preservation and restoration to make sure it upholds
that image to the fullest. And it also has a terrific story!
The family story starts with the dentist for the Oakland Raiders.
This was given to him as a gift in 1978, because after all, in the
earlier days of football a dentist was especially valued. They even
say that Super Bowl MVP Jim Plunkett had put the Raiders Super Bowl
champions bumper sticker on the back. In fact, the depth of the
black paint gives this the exact kind of appearance you want when
you're looking for a car that will properly represent long-standing
old-money opulence. Rolls-Royce's careful dedication to building
the finest cars is seen from every angle with a sedan that
continues to fit together beautifully. The doors open and close
with a precision that has to be experienced to be believed, and the
panel alignment is the result of a coachbuilt experience. It's this
kind of attention to detail that makes a Rolls-Royce command
respect everywhere it goes, and it is still very present in this
example today.
Open the door, and you're treated to sumptuous Connolly tan leather
seats. Color coordination is the key to a proper Rolls, and you see
that in the dark wool carpets with piping that matches the interior
tan. This leather and wool also nicely coordinate with the acres of
real wood on the doors and dash. Luxury also means plenty of
features, including power windows, power seats, power locks, and
factory air conditioning. In fact, you'll love the originality on
this one in everything from the classically thin steering wheel to
the 8-track stereo.
The 6.75-liter V8 under the hood is a staple of Rolls-Royce luxury,
and this looks to be original to the car. The has averaged less
than 1,900 miles annually, so it hasn't led the life of the daily
grind. The motor was engineered to always have power in reserve. In
true luxury fashion, it's not delivered like a muscle car, but
instead more like an express train. This is luxury for trips of all
sizes thanks to a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and cruise control. The fully independent suspension
glides over rough pavement like a hovercraft, and it stays
sure-footed with four-wheel power disc brakes.
This is desire on wheels that also will always have a story to
tell. It's an irresistible upper-class classic you need to get your
hands on right now. Call today!!!
