The Silver Shadow was Rolls-Royce’s first monocoque chassis, made from 1965 to 1980, with a 6.2 liter or a 6.7 liter V8. It got its transmission from General Motors (Turbo Hydramatic 400), and it’s high-pressure hydraulic self-leveling suspension from Citroën (for front and back suspensions until 1969).
For sale at BZ Motors in Lakeway for $30,999, has undergone a nuts and bolts restoration. With its 1991 cc, straight-4, overhead valve engine, it could approach 110 mph, using its front disc brakes to scrub off some of that speed. Durable and fun and very popular in its day.
