Selling a 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

 

Rolls-Royce used its previous model, the Silver Cloud, as the inspirational predecessor for the 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. This iconic car was designed to be a more powerful version of its predecessor. The Silver Shadow was built with a 6.2-liter V8 engine which put out 172 hp and helped the car reach a maximum speed of more than 110 mph. Silver Shadow models that were right-hand drive came equipped with a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission, while left-hand drive versions came with the standard four-speed automatic transmission up until 1970. Rolls-Royce added a number of upgrades to the Silver Shadow which helped its safety and performance. The car was fitted with a hydraulic independent suspension developed by Citroen and four-wheel disc brakes. This move away from the live axle design that was used for previous Rolls-Royce models made the ’65 Silver Shadow much easier to handle.

1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Seller’s Guide

 

The 1965 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show and emerged the same year as its competitor, the Bentley T-Series. Rolls-Royce produced more than 16,700 Silver Shadow units between the 60s and 70s, making it the company’s most-produced model to date. This high production value made the Silver Shadow a more affordable high-end luxury car.

Because of its high production rate, many Silver Shadow models for sale haven’t been given the proper maintenance and care that Rolls-Royce models need.
