1965 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER CLOUD BARRIS CSTM Lot Nbr. 234 Click to view slideshow:

Owner Comments:

This is a two-owner vehicle purchased by the current owner in the early 1970’s. The owner was a personal friend of the car design and customizer George Barris. Barris suggested he could modernize and embellish the overall coach- built esthetics of the car by replacing the factory round headlights with rectangular lights which were sourced from a Cadillac Eldorado. This transformation flowed flawlessly. He also installed a power sunroof. The car retains its factory original leather upholstery. All the interior hardwood veneer and clear including the dash, the trim plus the rear folding picnic tables are extremely well preserved showing excellent. At 81,000 miles in 2020, the owner invested $14,000 at OMAG Automotive in Palm Springs, California, to mechanically bring the car up to the condition as you view it here currently. The odometer currently reads 81,051. The factory original paint color was brown. The owner had it professionally repainted black in the 1980’s and is deteriorating in areas and will need attention.
