Talk about class. This '73 Rolls has only had two owners and a total of 64,000 miles.

Kinja'd!!!

That wood dash looks so elegant. The AC still works too!

Kinja'd!!!

Looks to be in good shape...

All yours for $35,000!

For resale value... I have a feeling this would keep going up in value!

This falls UNDER his $40,000 price.

You can park this outside.... it should be fine.

This is interesting. It is a Rolls Royce!

Again, no manual... but this is a Rolls... it will never have a manual!

I have yet to meet this "Doug Demro" that you speak of.

If you're buying a classic Rolls-Royce, make sure you buy the best example you can.

Maintenance on these is expensive, despite what a pushrod V8 and GM automatic transmission will let you to believe. The Silver Shadow and Corniches of the 1970s had the self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension as licensed from Citroën as well. Also, the brakes are probably needlessly complicated, and may cost nearly $10k, on a car that would be worth between $30k and $50k.

Nevertheless, I still really like classic Rolls-Royces.
