Buying or Selling a 1966 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is one of the most popular Rolls-Royce models to be developed. Its standard body style is the two-door coupe, but the 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the first of the models to introduce a two-door saloon. The 66 Silver Shadow body style was built by two different coachbuilders, Mulliner Park Ward and James Young. The majority of the bodies were built by Mulliner Park Ward and were known for their curvy design; James Young built a total of 35 Silver Shadows between 1965 and 1967, and had a more boxy body style. The 66 Silver Shadow is a perfect balance between luxury and performance. Its fitted with a 6.2-liter V8 engine that puts out 179 HP and can reach nearly 120 mph on the highway. This made the Silver Shadow one of the most powerful luxury cars on the road. It also came with an automatic transmission and disk brakes on all four wheels.
