Overview of 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow For Sale by Owner

Rolls-Royce is one of the oldest automakers in the world. Established in 1906, the brand represents the pinnacle of luxury, both in the car world and in popular culture. Owning a Rolls-Royce is a dream for many and represents the best luxury car you can buy. Of course, a classic Rolls-Royce is no less appealing; in fact it may bear even more value when you consider that Rolls-Royce didn’t make bucketloads of cars. Take this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II as a prime example. With less than 31,000 miles on the clock, it’s a definite classic that will likely appreciate in value as time goes by. Furthermore, it offers you a chance to experience what pre-digital era luxury motoring was like.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing the iconic two-tone paint job that made Rolls-Royces stand out, this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is decked in black and silver. The car sports the much-desired Spirit of Ecstasy mascot proudly placed atop the radiator grille, itself an imposing chrome affair. Flanking the radiator grille are double headlamps, yet again, a symbol of opulence from the period. Of course, a Rolls-Royce must glide as silently as a ghost; hence, you’ll only spot the twin rear tailpipes if you look hard. The interior of this 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II is as luxurious as you’d expect. There’s woodgrain on the dashboard, door inners, and center console. The seats themselves are coated in plush gray leather. Chrome accents add some shininess here and there. Meanwhile, you’ve got a massive array of creature comforts. Power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks are commonplace now but were still options for many cars in the Seventies. Ditto bi-level climate control with air conditioning and a radio cassette player from Pioneer. You’ll even find power-adjustable front seats. However, the most prominent feature is the red carpeting and rug that lie within the car’s footwells. Even the spacious trunk is decked out with a matching red mat.

Engine

This 1979 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II comes with the famed 6.75L V8, known as the Six-And-Three-Quarter engine. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic gearbox. Rolls-Royce used to be famously coy about revealing power figures, so we can’t say how much the large engine makes. What we can say is, you’ll enjoy a sublime ride, due to the car’s independent front and rear suspension, which includes hydraulic self-leveling.
