More money than sense!
Hunting foxes on horses is so yesterday.
You think your Lexus 450 is a luxury 4wd!
That’s not a luxury 4wd, THIS is a luxury 4wd!
The Silver Shadow was an over-priced nothing terribly special car. Even fairly nice ones are relatively cheap to buy, though not cheap to keep running.
I’d suspect that an old Silver Shadow, if neglected for enough years, would be such an expensive pita to keep running that transferring its body to your old 4×4 pickup is as good a way as any to keep on looking out over that wood dash as you drive down the road. Or jeep track through the desert….
Best looking Rolls Royce Ive seen in a while. The newer ones are even fuglier. About 5yrs ago, I saw one of these on Columbia rd. It was belching blue smoke like you read about. If you let the maintenance go on a luxo-barge, it becomes a heap.
I didn’t know Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr were still around…(Cannonball Run reference)
Gods no. Dean and Sammy were too cool for that. They piloted a Ferrari 328GTB while drinking profusely. Jamie Farr (Max Klinger of MASH) drove the Silver Shadow, pretending to be a Saudi Sheik. Two best parts: Joe Theismann as the Tow-Truck Driver and Frank Sinatra playing himself, admitting his mob connections. Sweet!
I’m not an agricultural producer. And last time I went dove hunting it was with a coupla guys who brought shotguns straight-tradable for a new Honda Accord.(But I just use an old Browning.)

I guess “GOT BAJA” was already taken.
At least they sprung for real beadlocks (I assume).
….but then again JC Whitney sells fake-beadlock trim rings, so all bets are off.
LOLing at the JUST TIRES billboard. What is the car? A Volvo?
The car is an old Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.
This is what happens when rednecks win the lottery.
They could not have picked a better candidate to desecrate than a Silver Shadow!

The evolution of “dual side-mounts”.
Twotone
So are RR cheap in their old age???
Bet James may would shed a tear…
Is that supposed to help with the angle of departure?

Rolls advertises this vehicle’s off road capability as “adequate.”
Excellent!
Those tires are mounted in that position in case the car ‘rolls’.
And one can only hope that the chassis is a Toyota 4WD, so that the vehicle can be truthfully called a “Rolls-Rice”.
That’s probably what the C4C’d Bentley looked like, too!
Hey somebody made their own interpretation of a BMW X6!
Considering there is someone who in the past ran a Rolls in the Paris-Dakar Rally, I see nothing wrong with this picture.
Only thing wrong is “baha.” Everything else is right on target for this guy.
Someone wasted a perfectly good pickup chassis on a Silver shadow. Philistines!

You can buy running, decent looking shadows for under $5K. All day long.
One of these days I’m gonna strip one out, fab up some fun suspension, and tub the rear so it holds 375’s.
Rhino lining interior, 4 Recaros, and about 750HP.
Just because…
Are you a poor peanut farmer porchespeed? You could take it Dove huntin
