Summary:
Used 1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Black
Location:
1807 Thomas Street, Chicago, IL
Description:
This is a truly magnificent Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Completely restored by Park-Ward Motors and presents in pinnacle condition of the marque. Finished in 2-tone Black over burgundy with deep red Connolly hide interior. Hand painted fine-lines using the traditional dying art of brush-painted pin-striping to the waist-rails and hubcap beauty rings. This Silver Shadow is simply stunning in all respects and it is as best you might expect for a 50 year old Rolls-Royce. It is that nice! This car was a bespoke build for one of our clients. What we did: Paint - When bought by us the car was very straight and sported its original paint, albeit faded and beginning to peel. The car was entirely stripped to a rolling shell. Doors, bonnet and boot off, no chrome, no fittings, no glass, no rubbers. The paint was stripped back using chemical stripping agents and then hand-sanded to its fundamental metal finish. There was minimal bodywork as the car was very straight and entirely rust free to commence with. When repainted, it was done so in Dulux 2 stage clear over base with no less than 4 coats of clear. When the car was reassembled, all new window rubbers, moulding rubbers, new lights, lenses were used and most clips, fasteners and screws replaced for factory new ones. Interior - The leather seats were in good condition when we received the car so we simply put them thru our hand-finishing re-Connollising process. Almost everything else inside the car was renewed or refurbished. If renewed, it was all done utilising genuine Rolls-Royce quality finishes and materials. The headlining was replaced using pure wool broad-cloth imported from the UK. Various sectioning of carpets were renewed. Hand-made utilising genuine imported English Wilton wool, with original specification Connolly leather edge binding, individually hand operated machine-stitched in accordance with original factory Rolls-Royce standards. All the wood inside the car was stripped, correctly stained in the right places and refinished with no less than 25 coats of clear lacquer, each hand-rubbed between coats to provide a final finish like glass. This included the front and rear window surrounds in addition to the 4 doors, dash, console and rear vanity mirrors. Every single switch, gauge, button and feature was disassembled, cleaned, polished and refitted. The interior is virtually perfect and its only down-side might be the fear to sit in it! Almost everything on the car was done to factory and original look with the exception of one feature. The owner wanted something signature to him and his passion within the textile trade. To this end, the headliner was done in a plaid wool that is one of his fabric lines. It compliments well with the car and is very dramatic. We understand, of course, it may not suit the tastes of all buyers (or some of the purists) so rest assured, this can be changed by us if desired. It sure it an interesting talking-point as is! Mechanically - Not a single stone left un-turned. Upon commencement, the engine was compression and leak down tested with good results. With a good base, basically everything was either overhauled, replaced, serviced or inspected and tested at the least. Brakes & hydraulics - The system is quite literally, completely overhauled. Both brake pumps, pressure valves rebuilt and fitted new accumulators with original "Safety Tags". Various steel brake lines and all flexible rubber hoses replaced (x 15 in total) for factory Crewe hoses. New brake rotors and all 6 calipers totally rebuilt with new pads and repainted to factory finish. Every single hydraulic suspension part was rebuilt; T-valves, restrictors, height control valves and solenoid. Insufficient characters for full description.
