No doubt, there would be other hurdles, but if you just wanted the look
of the Rolls, you could likely solve the problems without rebuilding a
Rolls.
I am sure I must have told the story about my mechanic son working on a
vintage Rolls that essentially had no brakes. If I recall correctly it
had some sort of hydraulic setup that ran off of the transmission. Parts
were either unobtainable or so expensive that it made no sense. They
installed a vacuum booster intended for a Chevy Corvette and that helped
a bit. Ultimately, they swapped the left side brake shoes to the right
side and vice versa, so that the leading shoe was opposite of what it
had been, and that helped a lot. My son did not think the brakes were
all that wonderful even then, but the owner was satisfied. He only drove
it in parades or something like that so didn't care that they were not
state of the art.

True, but how do you address the hydraulic suspension? Or does this model have
it?

In storage 18 years. I can’t even imagine what PRK would charge to get a pink
slip for that. If a boat is a hole in the water you throw money into, this is a
hole in the earth , with a small black hole in it, that you throw money into.

Body looks pretty good.
Yank out the RR engine and transmission, install an LS type SBC and carry on.
