1972 rolls royce silver shadow - jacksonville, flfor sale by ownerjacksonville, fl 32209ph: 9044259541web: www. Georgesapproval. Netoptions:description:rolls-royce silver shadow "lwb" long wheel base 1972 desirable “chrome bumper” model this is a gorgeous presenting silver shadow long wheel base ("lwb") sedan finished in masons black with a black everflex vinyl top. It has hand-painted tan/gold fine lines to the waist-rails and hubcap beauty trim rings complemented accordingly. The interior is finished in light tan connolly leather. The mason black with tan interior combination is very elegant and classic for a rolls-royce. Certainly it is a hallmark of the era. The long wheel base version of the silver shadow is easily identified by the small rear window (opera window) and standard fitment everflex vinyl top, it is 4” longer in the rear door. This provides a noticeable increase in rear passenger space. This car was a californian car most of its life but little is known of its history. It did sit for several years. When we received the car it was in good shape and certainly an above average example only needing minor cosmetic refurbishment. Mechanically, we went right thru her bringing all services major and minor up to date. The exterior of the car is straight and rust free with the underside clean and tidy. The paint is in excellent condition with the finish high in luster and consistent all over. The quality of the paint job is high. Inside door edges and jams are clean and tidy. The black everflex top is brand new fitted by us and is to factory specification (with the correct under-padding in the mid section). The interior of the car is also excellent. The interior leather is entirely original connolly from factory. The leather finish displays the “toned hand-tanning” look that rolls-royce was doing for a limited time in the very early 70s. It is a very traditional look and is simply elegant. The interior is without any tears or unsightly wear marks. The front seat leather is nice for its age and the back-seat leather is super supple and soft. The headlining had a tear above the rear passenger section so was completely replaced by us with new, factory correct pure wool broad-cloth. Door panels, interior chrome work, gauges and instruments are all in very fine condition. The light african burl walnut was also done by park-ward and displays in the traditional high gloss rolls-royce glass-like finish. There is some $3,500 invested in the refinished wood alone. This includes all 4 doors, dash, console and rear vanity mirrors. From rich yellow ochres to rich reds and browns. It is truly stunning. Mechanically the car is in very fine shape. It has been recently thoroughly work-shopped by park-ward with all the hydraulics/braking system serviced and working well. All services are brought up to date to include important expensive items – such as brake pumps, accumulators, calipers, pads and brake lines, by example - having been done. The engine truly purrs and gear-change is smooth and quiet. The car is very spritely in power which is a good sign of a well cared for and good condition motor. The odometer reads 61,500 miles and although not verifiable, the car looks every bit a low mileage example. Tyres are michelin symmetry whitewalls in the correct 215/75/15 size and plenty of tread and present well with a thin whitewall. The hubcaps straight and the stainless steel shiny.
