I Found The RAREST Car From The 70's To Detail!

[@TheDetailGeek]

Truly a once in a lifetime detail! I had a blast learning about this car and the documentation that came with it - it was incredible. Hard to believe it sold for only $3,900! Hope you all have a great weekend! Don’t forget to hit the thumbs up button! 👍🏻

[@joelbuchanan471]

I will be watching this multiple times since I am fascinated with this car. 💜

[@cynthiahopkins7090]

I drop my jaw that it sold for $ 3,900 Rolls Royce. Cool, its nice car. 🤔❤

[@lilliethornton9353]

You have a great weekend... as well

[@XNY_Music]

Surely you can afford a young trainee editor to increase your productivity and free up your time

[@citibear57]

What an awesome detail this was for you. Could we say 'historic'? Did you get to drive it, or at least ride in it? When I was young, my mom always said "You don't need an expensive car. They go down the same streets as every car does". So true. Potholes. Idiot drivers. etc. 😒

[@grazyrj]

I was not expecting this car to have been sold for only $3900! I thought for sure a collector's vehicle, especially in such good condition

[@TheDetailGeek]

That blew my mind too!

[@limitlessspeedtail2979]

I would recommend watching bbc top gear they can explain why

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

It takes a lot of investment to keep it running. So it is not just the initial cost of ownership, plus this wasnt a desirable model year

[@robdean54]

I see these on fb marketplace occasionally. maybe not this exact silver shadow model, but they have similar body styles and are usually under $10k here in Atlanta

[@KenEilers]

I would have thought it was worth way more that $4000. Probably is today but still I would love to own it,

[@mks1773]

I never thought of saying this... but the most satisfying part of detail is floor mats cleaning! Great work...as always!

[@workshop_deluxe2493]

Disagree. The mats are lambswool, there are more adequat procedures to clean them. Besides that, all mats and carpets are edged with leather. Lots of water is not approriate for cleaning.

[@Prodicalson-q9n]

I can't believe this car is worth such a small price. Especially with all that history, and the fact it's been looked after. Aside from that, what a fantastic detail video. Thank you for posting.

[@vk2k]

We will not see these types of cars for a long time. Once a lifetime to watch. Thank you.

[@joelbuchanan471]

This was a barn burner of a video. WOW, That Wedgewood blue color with the gray was just beautiful. For a car from 1979 this was in incredible condition. So there was a vinyl floor, low pile mats and then sheepskin mats on top of that. That sounds like total comfort. You stuck to your well honed and well thought out process as if this was any other vehicle. I kind of think since this was from 1979, this would have still been hand built. So that explains the quality and high level of detail in every part of the interior. A sale price of $80K was a LOT to invest in a car in those years, so the original owner was well heeled and had some money. Sold several times to people who obviously loved this car so much to keep such amazing records. This was real treat and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Mitch so much for this. Have a wonderful weekend!!! Looking forward to a new yard geek video. I always enjoy those. 💜

[@TheDetailGeek]

This was definitely a once in a lifetime detail and one I won’t soon forget! Glad you enjoyed hearing about the history of the car, that really was a treat. The next YG vid is well in the works and can’t wait to get it out to you guys! Have a great weekend Joel!!

[@cynthiahopkins7090]

Hello Joel! Hey, I assume why don't the RR Silver Shadow II should rent a car at the company? Anyone who can afford it for vacation or holiday what it depends on. RR reveals fantastic exterior and interior design to us. Cool! Have a wonderful weekend.

[@joelbuchanan471]

@@cynthiahopkins7090 Great to see you Cynthia! It was fun to see such a beautiful car. Hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with friends and fun!!

[@ownerlandlord4654]

I hope that you take pictures of some of the special cars that u detail and put them up in your shop somewhere. A reminder of yr hard work and the variety of cars that u detail. It will be a ‘wall of fame’ for sure.

To watch a Beauty being Detailed is such treat ❤

[@Opalamoon]

Such amazing detail and car. I hope you do more vintage and rare car details, I really like watching and learning more about them. Love this one specially Compared to the other details you done, this has to be one of the most well cared ones here. Thank you for giving the opportunity of seeing this amazing car and the proccess of detailing. Love the other videos too where you make pure filth into brand new too. Been watching your channel for maybe 1 year now since my old account, keep up the amazing videos, Mitch!!

[@Pinkapotomus]

Oh my GOSH!!! A Silver Shadow ROLLER!!! 😱😱😱💜💜💜 That is the penultimate car to detail imo. Vintage awesomeness right there. And you had it looking like it rolled off the showroom floor!!!!😍😍😍

Thank you!

Great job Mitche, and a super nice car. I was suprised you didn't do anything (or even show) the engine compartment.

[@carltuckerson7718]

The non-dirty wheels was the biggest trip of all. I think that's the first time it didn't turn to mud with the brush.

[@anotherone-xp9ox]

those tires are stupidly oversized

[@DodgerFloof]

​@@anotherone-xp9ox every car from the 60s 70s and 80s had them, it's for comfort and traction.

I’m surprised it sold for only $3900??!! That’s a collectors car and I thought it would have sold for more. Great video as always! ❤❤❤

[@stormix5755]

This was such an awesome detail Mitch. It's nice to seeing rare and special cars that are well taken care of rather than disaster minivans sometimes

[@lilliethornton9353]

Wow! It's clean beyond measure.... and you did a fantastic job. I can't wait to see what's next on your agenda.

[@charlesmarmor6822]

WOW! What an amazing detail! not only to get to detail such a vintage RR, but to see the complete history of it as well! Great job Mitch!

Man... Two toned cars with pinstripe and wood/leather interiors. Damn these modern bubble cars and land yacht SUVs.

Another fantastic video, Mitch. This has to be one of the best ones yet.🚗

[@hecdc305]

I sold Rolls' back in the 80's and the 1979 Silver Shadow II was one of the best cars RR ever made. You did a great detail job!

[@jonathanwest6751]

Dude! What an amazing and beautiful detail. I bet you were blown away when you got asked to do that. I know as a fellow detailer I would have been. To see a Rolls Royce in person would be a dream come true for me little own getting to detail one. Truly amazing.

[@marksimkiw-gd3ed]

Wow Mitch,you seem to get all the cool vehicles to detail.Awesome job,and great history

[@MarilynPayne-i4i]

What a treat to work on such a head turning car!💕🇮🇲😊

[@gerhardrichter8626]

My dad had a customer that worked at an import dealer. Well one day he came over to our house in a beautiful 1980 RR Silver Shadow II. He took my brother and I out for a ride, what a treat. Another time he was having his taxes done at my dad's office and I asked if he could get me some sales literature. He sent me a huge envelope of brochures.

[@PamelaVidler]

So many years ago I got to drive a Rolls Royce. My husband worked for the company. It was Heaven. I found myself going 95 mph and it felt like I was going about 45. No bumps or feel of the road, just smooth sailing. It is a memory I'll keep with me forever. Never could afford one, but it was a fun ride. You did a wonderful job on this classic.

[@mattpipes5106]

You wouldn’t expect a detail video of a pretty clean car to be as totally satisfying as this one was… even though the car is in great shape you really managed to transform it into looking brand new!

[@dragoness0420]

This car is absolutely beautiful! It's so great to see a piece of automotive history that's been so well maintained.

[@ElizabethDeWaters]

When you mentioned you read the owners manual, I was smiling, cause I do be the same. Thank goodness there are others that do this too. Sweet car to detail!!

[@cameronscott5661]

Man, this is absolutely one of my favorite videos you've done! What great work on such a legendary piece of history! I hope this brings more rarities your way!!! Great job, as always. Keep up the GREAT work!!!

[@craigswain4423]

I absolutely loved this video. The detailed record keeping was outstanding. The mats...omw...the mats were the best!

[@shannonp1656]

It's hard to know what to say about this. It's really nice it has been cared for and not especially dirty. The hard cover manual is a really nice touch. The maintenance manuals and history are also interesting to have. In every way this video is in a class by itself. ❤

[@wpgrogue]

I always smile every time I see your perfection to detail. Maybe it's because I am like that too, that's why I enjoy your channel

[@maxbrazel604]

Hey Mitch are you sure that they have got the price right for that Silver Shadow Mk II, as in $3,900 (CAN), are sure that it was mean't to read $390,000 (CAN) for that Silver Shadow MK II ?.👍😎👍, from NSW,Australia, because i'll tell you what, if the price of that Silver shadow Mk II was $3,900 (CAN) for that vehicle, that was unbeleivable especially for a vehicle of that caliber. 👍😎👍🌟🇦🇺🇨🇦

I love the colours!! My dad still has his but it’s silver only. No, he’s never allowed me to drive it. We were driven to school in it though. Isn’t the leather absolutely phenomenal compared to any other vehicle?! One day it’ll be mine but I’d rather have my dad! So wonderful to see someone who appreciates fine automobiles.

The best episode yet - wow, what a beautiful car. Shame we didn’t see the engine, but WOW and the history was interesting. As a kid in the UK in the 70’s and going to football matches, I seen a few of these that must have been owned by the Directors of the clubs - so teams like Manchester United, Liverpool etc. when they drove past, the engine had this lovely low growl, subtle, but I’ll never forget get that noise

New person to your channel- I have seen a few videos now and have noticed that you (don't show that you) wipe the wipers-- I have noticed that the rubber some times has a residue that can keep the windshield from being as clean as it could be.
