1967 Rolls Royce in Huntsville, TX

1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow RHD. Not running; have not tried to start it, but mostly complete. No grille, but can get one for $1,500. I do have a title.

All that's missing is the grille and hubcaps.

Do NOT offer me $500 or $1,000 for the car! For that money, it will stay in my yard as art.

 

 

A little on the high end for the challenge, but has there every been a Rolls or Bentley at the challenge?  Interior is pretty gross, but that's just reason to strip it out for lightness!

I like how you can buy the entire car sans grill for only 20% more than what a grill apparently costs.  Seems like a great invitation to DIY a replacement.

My friend has a foreign repair shop, he says a lot of parts can be crossed to Crown Vic.  How big is that engine compartment?

So a transmission from GM and a hydropnuematic suspension system from Citroen on a car that debuted in 1965 has what again in common with a Crown Vic?  A 6.8 liter V8 isn't big enough?

88-89 the big thing in the armpit of America Springfield mass was to hang a rolls grill on your toyota or volvo...  No not kidding used to love playing with those punks in my Orange 70 Dart Swinger with a 383 and 3.58 gears.  smiley
