1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III -
Serial number LSHS-261. Factory LHD
Partially complete
project:
Circumstances force the sale of this
terrific example of the last of the Classic Rolls Royce
motorcars.
All numbers
match.
It was a daily driver until taken down
for a complete restoration.
The entire drive train has been
disassembled for restoration.
The project includes many new parts and
accessories.
The body has been completely stripped,
professionally restored and is nearly flawless.
The finish is DuPont two-tone: Burnished
Gold Pearl Metallic over Oak Green Metallic. Paint numbers are H9593 and
F4485.....Absolutely Beautiful!
The interior is completely new, with all
new leather and piping, headliner, wall panels, seats, armrests and carpet. The
new interior has never been sat in!
Many new parts, including Decarb kit,
piston rings, starter, fuel pump and complete rubber kit, battery cable, trim
fabric and much, much more.
The drive train, under fender
accessories, leaf springs, brake and shock damper systems remain to be restored.
The car "had" factory air, the
compressor was on the engine (not a rear-mount). The compressor was exchanged
for an aftermarket unit. It is a "Sankyo" I believe. It always worked
well!
No wiring has been replaced to my
knowledge
The transmission was slipping when the
car was taken-down. It will require a rebuild
I am not aware of any differential work
having been done
The speedometer was inoperative when I
acquired the car. It read 69,095. Still does. It has been my intention to
purchase a new one when the restoration was
complete
The chrome has not been
redone
Most of the parts you see in the photos
have to do with the engine. I have a new Decarb kit (gasket kit) for the engine,
new starter, new fuel pump, complete rubber trim kit, trim material rolls,
distributor cap, ignition wires and much more that doesn't come to mind. I will
have to look/list
I had the wood refinished locally. The trim piece that goes behind the
interior right rear window is missing.
Once completed, this motorcar will be an
almost new '65 Silver Cloud III! This motorcar will become someone's awesome
Classic Rolls Royce! The project is located at a private residence in northwest
The asking price of $29,500 is
reflective of the cost of the cosmetics and new parts.
