Buying or Selling a 1971 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a timeless masterpiece that helped set the standard for luxury automobiles in the 1960s and 70s. The 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow comes with a powerful 6750cc V8 engine that puts out nearly 200 hp and can reach 120 mph, as well as an upgraded three-speed automatic gearbox that replaced the four-speed version in 1968. The four-wheel disc brake system and self-leveling rear suspension make the Silver Shadow the benchmark of safe and comfortable handling. Rolls-Royce spent a lot of time making sure that the Silver Shadow was an enjoyable car to ride in, which is why it lacks the annoying cabin noise that’s common in many other classic cars. Rolls-Royce released the Corniche in 1971. While these were essentially two-door Silver Shadow coupes, this move limited Silver Shadows from ’71 onward to four-door sedans. The ’71 Silver Shadow comes with a 119.5″ wheelbase or a long-wheelbase version, which is 123.5″.
