Want to Buy Johnny Cash’s Rolls-Royce?

Oh, I’d love to wear a rainbow every day. But Instead I’ll just ride around in this sweet Rolls.

Fly on the Wall has documented lots of Elvis related auctions, ranging for the sublime to the ridiculous, but the King of Rock-and-Roll wasn’t the only Sun Studio mega-star to indulge in a little extravagance here and there. And this Johnny Cash-related opportunity is a dream come true for a collector with deep pockets. 

Cash’s music was deeply American, but when it came to cars he could be a bit of an Anglophile, with a taste for the Rolls-Royce driving experience. The Man in Black’s appropriately-colored 1970 Silver Shadow is now currently up for grabs. The final hammer falls at Barrett-Jackson auctions in Las Vegas later this month. 

It’s a 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, automobile.

The car is a relative pup having accumulated only 32,000 miles since it was built to order by Mr. JRC whose initials are monogrammed in gold on the rear doors.  

I’ve been everywhere (NOT!)
