1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Navigation
The Silver Shadow was introduced in 1965 and would become the company's best-selling model over the course of its more than two-decade long production run. It had unitary construction, independent rear suspension, automatic chassis leveling and 4-wheel disc brakes. Engine displacement increased from 6.23L to 6.75L in 1969 in an effort to compensate for power losses attributed to U.S. emission controls. Also in 1969, a long-wheelbase version was introduced.

This particular 1971 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Saloon is a long wheelbase example that has been treated to more than $44,000 in maintenance and mechanical restoration. It was sold new in Colorado and has never been licensed in any other state.

The car is powered by a 6.75-liter V8 engine and is mated to an automatic transmission. It has a rare power divider window, front and rear air conditioning, and front and rear stereo systems.
