1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche

This 1976 Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible is powered by a 6.75-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in garnet over beige Connolly leather. Equipment includes a power-operated tan soft top, a matching top boot, 15″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps, power-adjustable front seats, a multimedia head unit, and power windows. Acquired by the seller in 2018, this Corniche convertible is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name. The car is said to have been refinished in Garnet in the early 2000s, and a paint chip near the right front turn signal was repaired under current ownership. The car is equipped with a stainless-steel Doric-inspired grille with a Spirit of Ecstasy ornament as well as a power-operated tan soft top, a matching top boot, and quad round headlights. Noted flaws include a crack in the paint near the grille, in front of the left A-pillar, and a dent behind the right wheel well. The 15″ steel wheels feature polished trim rings with hubcaps and are mounted with 235/70 Dunlop D65T tires. Factory equipment includes a four-wheel independent suspension with coil springs, anti-roll bars, telescopic dampers, and a hydraulic self-leveling system. The hydraulic suspension spheres were rebuilt in 2023. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes at all four corners, and the front calipers were replaced in 2018. The power-adjustable front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in beige Connolly leather, while burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. A multimedia head unit has been installed, and the removed push-button radio will accompany the car. The seller states that the air conditioning system required service. The woodgrain-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel frames a 144-mph speedometer alongside a warning lamp panel and a combination gauge for amperage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 40k miles, approximately 2000 of which were added under current ownership. The speedometer cable was repaired in 2010, and the temperature gauge does not work. The 6.75-liter V8 features an aluminum-silicon alloy block and aluminum cylinder heads along with dual SU carburetors. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. The underside cover for the hydraulic system is missing. Manufacturer’s literature and service records dating back to 2003 are included in the sale.
