I have for sale this nice 1977 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow purchased in Florida around 10 years ago. The body is in nice condition, it does have a small dent and scratch on the driver's rear panel (see picture). (damaged caused by 92 year old driver backing into barn who's license was taken away for medical reasons). Seller's daughter had her son cut a brake line so her father would not drive the car, he did, and caused the damage to the fender, thereby, resulting in the car being sold. I test drove the car for my father prior to purchase, it runs and drives fine. All the car needed was the brake line replaced. The interior shows typical wear and exposure to the Florida sun, leather is cracked and the driver's seat back panel on the left side is cracked open. The rest of the interior is shown in the photos. The truck lid paint is not two toned, that is water streaks from taking the cover off. The car runs and drives well, mechanic states it should have a tune up because this car was not driven much since it was purchased by the 92 year owner. It does have the usual RR exhaust leak, however, the exhaust does not look like it is broken, possibly a gasket under the car somewhere. The Michelin Tires are in nice shape, chrome is nice, headliner in good condition. The Rolls is a nice starter car or candidate for restoration if you want a very nice car in the end. This car is a nice daily driver with a few dollars invested. My father purchased the car last year, since then, my dad has passed, so now I am selling the car... I found out from his friends that his dream was to have a nice looking blonde from Hooters sit in the back seat of the Rolls wearing only a mink coat, nothing else... Keep dreaming.. I have the opened signed title, ready for the "NEW" owner's signature. The Rolls shows a recent N.Y.S. Inspection indicating that it passed all safety requirements for this state... Beyond what I have told you, I do not know very much else, the car has been sitting on a plastic cover and has a car cover on it in my yard, Dad, never drove the car. I also have another of his Rolls (1979 Silver Shadow) to sell after I sell this 1977 black Rolls. Call Joe at 585-797-7613 from 12 noon until 11:00 PM daily ONLY....

Rolls-Royce planning one or two new models based on the Ghost
Wed, 29 Aug 2012Fourteen years after Volkswagen bought Bentley, its English brand has two distinct lines, Mulsanne and Continental - with numerous variants at the Continental's lower price point - an SUV on the way and perhaps a sports car and a Mulsanne convertible, too. In the 14 years since BMW bought Rolls-Royce, its English brand has the Phantom and Ghost - with three variants at the Phantom's much higher price point. Rolls-Royce doesn't chase sales, but the difference in the brand direction helps explain why Bentley has sold more cars in the first six months of this year than Rolls-Royce sold all of last year.
And even though Rolls-Royce isn't solely about the tally, it would still like to improve on the 3,538 cars it sold last year - a sales record that eclipsed a mark set in 1978. To do so its CEO is planning one or two more Ghost-based models beyond the as-yet-unnamed Ghost Coupe due next year, perhaps to be called the Corniche, according to a report in Autocar. A convertible version of the Ghost Coupe is the obvious guess for one of them, and it would get the double-R "closer to 4,000" sales, where the CEO would like to be.
Sales might not be the only part of it, though; the headline of the Autocar piece says the CEO wants the new models because they're "required to give Rolls-Royce a proper identity." If that is accurate, we have no idea what kind of identity Rolls-Royce could be missing that would be served by a wider range of cars in the Ghost range, which by their place in the brand's own lineup are admittedly not the most opulent carriages on the planet.
BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing
Tue, 08 Apr 2014It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.
Rolls-Royce rolls out more powerful Ghost V-Specification
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With the release of the 624-horsepower Wraith fastback, Rolls-Royce proved that its 6.6-liter V12 engine could produce significantly more than the 563 horsepower it offers in the Ghost. But those looking for an extra dose of power yet still want the extra two doors - and have the six-figure price of admission to burn - will be delighted by the release of the Ghost V-Specification.
Although Goodwood has yet to put out a press release, its consumer website already has all the details we could want: the engine has been upgraded to 593 horsepower (to sit in between the base Ghost and the more powerful Wraith), driving the rear set of 21-inch two-tone alloys. Buyers will be able to choose from white, grey or three shades of black (or pick an existing color from the catalog), with a hand-painted coachline incorporating the same V-Specification emblem you'll find inside, where you'll also find unique piping and top-stitching, a custom dashboard clock, special treadplates and more.
Buyers will also be able to order their V-Specification Ghost in either standard or extended wheelbases at a price that's expected to, like the engine's output, bridge the gap between the more sedate Ghost and the more powerful Wraith. We're looking forward to seeing it in person at the Geneva Motor Show in a few months, but for now you can scope out the images in the gallery below and play with the configurator tool on the Rolls-Royce website.
