Thanks for looking at another one of my classic car auctions... I have had this car since 2012 and really don't give it the attention a vehicle of this status deserves (MEANING IT'S SIMPLY JUST SITTING)... I purchased this car from an elderly doctors wife from Nashville, Tennessee. He had it for a great number of years and as his health declined so did his attention of this wonderful classic... Since I've had it I've spent well over $5,000 in upkeep and needed repairs as follows (all work was preformed by a local Rolls Royce repair facility in Northwest Illinois):

REBUILT front calipers (4) with proper Rolls Royce kits & stainless steel pistons

New front ROTORS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW FRONT & REAR BRAKE PADS from ALBERS BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE (NOT CHINA)

NEW NGK proper Spark plugs from BENTLEY DOWNERS GROVE (NOT AUTOZONE)

NEW REAR ACCUMULATORS & SEALS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE)

ALL NEW OEM DRIVE BELTS (BENTLEY ZIONSVILLE) NOT PEPBOYS !!!

CHANGED OIL & FILTER

NEW BATTERY

Antifreeze, transmission, diff, and power steering fluids flushed and changed as well... Mineral oil was flushed and bled during the installation of the rear accumulators.

 

All in all it's a strong running and  driving car and is roadworthy. All power windows work. Radio works but the antenna sticks once it reaches half way. Power door locks work 90% of the time and sometimes don't, (loose wire?)... A/C is cold, but only holds Freon for a a few months (slight leak, may be cheaper just to recharge every three months then fix). AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON !!! This happened when I let the battery go dead over the winter, it needs to be reset by a Rolls dealer (FOLEYS RR of Northbrook QUOTED ME $150). Oil pressure sending unit for the gauge is faulty, oil pressure is fine. It leaks a few drips of oil, but to be fair all of my 7 other Rolls Royce and Bentley's do... If I think of anything else I'll post it, but I feel it's all on the table...

Paint is a 6.5 out of 10... It has a few chips (mainly near the gas flap). One obnoxious scratch on the trunk about 1.5 inches long. The paint color is "MAGNOLIA" a very pretty color... Looks good or even great from 10 feet away, but after further inspection it has its fair share of cracks and wear to the paint. I would also like to mention I noticed previous paint work in areas (NOT FROM COLLISION) probably from up keep of higher standards earlier on in it's life. SHORT AND SWEET, I'd repaint it... But it's up to you...

The interior is also "MAGNOLIA" and features a saddle colored piping and dash. The leather is free of ant tears or rips. Being an off white it will need to be dyed to look new. The wood was redone on all four doors and looks good. carpets are ok too... I have all tools and took kit. I cannot get the center caps to stay on, I put them in the trunks for safe keeping...

 

MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN... I AM SELLING OFF MY COLLECTION TO PURCHASE A LATE MODEL BENTLEY GT... I THINK IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE FOR ME TO HAVE A LATER MODEL CAR VERSES A DOZEN OLDER ONES NEEDING MINOR TLC... I WILL BE SELLING my 1964 Bentley S3 Project and my BEAUTIFUL 1965 Bentley S3 next... I have sold several Rolls Royce and Bentley recently and have 100% feedback. My car is sold "as is" and is subject to local interest and I have it on other sites. Please ask questions or come see it/drive. But remember if you bid, you're buying... I'M SELLING WITH NO RESERVE !!! I have OVER $15k in this car, MY LOSS is YOUR GAIN !!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME: (847)826-2584 or classiccarking@yahoo.com

 

REMEMBER...... NO RESERVE MEANS IF YOU BID YOU BID TO BUY...

TITLE IN HAND CASH OR WIRE (OUT OF STATE BUYERS)

NO SCAMS OR DREAMERS PLEASE !!!

 

GOOD LUCK & HAPPY BIDDING !!!

Grey Poupon to air new version of famous Rolls-Royce ad, this time with car chase [w/video]

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

Grey Poupon mustard will revive the concept behind its famous Pardon Me commercials with a new ad that will air only once on television during this Sunday's broadcast of the Academy Awards.
The original spot, which showed two one-percenters sharing the condiment between their Rolls-Royces at an intersection, first aired all the way back in 1981, and variations of it continued up through 1997. Kraft, owner of the Grey Poupon brand, is hoping that reviving the commercial will boost sagging sales and raise the mustard's profile with a younger generation of fancy folk.
So why are we talking about this on Autoblog? Because the new version of the ad won't end with a polite passing of the bottle. Rather, we're told a car chase ensues when the Grey Poupon's owner doesn't get it back. We're assuming the two cars in question will again be a pair of Rolls-Royce sedans, probably Phantoms unless they go with more vintage model years.

Is your brain predisposed to make you love Rolls-Royce?

XCAR has taken a look at what could very well be one of the most quintessential British cars ever built: the 1973 Rolls-Royce Corniche. The question at hand is whether or not expensive luxury items like artisan foods, designer clothing and yes, high-end automobiles are worth their monetary cost. Do they bring some undefined additional value to the table over their low-buck counterparts, or are they simply an excellent way to part a fool from his dollar bills? While the video below can't comment on four-course meals or $400 jeans, our valiant host does have a word or two on the joy a Rolls-Royce can bring to your life.
That's even true of a model like the '73 Corniche. Built during one of the darker days of the company's history, the convertible was designed and manufactured by an automaker on the verge of collapse. Still, it manages to hold on to that essential spirit of luxury so crucial to the Rolls-Royce brand. Check out the video below to see what we mean.

eBay Find of the Day: Andy Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

Sun, 25 May 2014

Andy Warhol is one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th Century. With hits like his famous Campbell's soup cans and Marilyn Monroe portraits, he is likely the first name you think of in association with the pop art movement. He isn't known for being an auto enthusiast, though, but maybe that's not entirely the case - there was his BMW M1 art car, after all. Now, Warhol's 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is up for auction on eBay Motors.
According the seller, Warhol never had a driver's license, but he still wanted to own a luxurious car. It's claimed that he occasionally had his famous friends, including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, chauffeur him around in the Rolls. Following Warhol's death in 1987, the car was auctioned for $77,000, and since then it has only been sold to one additional owner.
The Rolls is painted Walnut and Mason's Black, which appears closer to a shade of brown in these photos, with a black leather interior. The engine is the company's' popular 6.75-liter V8 with a three-speed automatic transmission, and there are just 56,000 miles on this luxurious classic. The seller is including copies of original purchase order from Rolls-Royce and the title to Warhol Enterprises to prove the famous artist's ownership of the car, plus all of its service records.
