Buy A House, Get A Classic 1967 Rolls Royce Free!

When it gets hard to sell your house, you need to go the extra mile.

Jim Benson in Orlando, Florida, is offering his classic 1967 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow for free if you buy his house.

Realtor Margaret Barnes said the number of showings at the Benson house has increased in recent weeks, though she was unsure whether the car had anything to do with it.

Home sellers have given away cars before. Cambridge Homes, for instance, has tossed in a Mini Cooper with a purchase. But the keys to a chauffeur-worthy Rolls?

The 40-year-old car has no halogen headlights or LCD screens, but the back seat smells like hand-tooled leather from prized cowhide. The doors shut with a vacuum-seal sound rather than a metallic clang. The engine of the 2-ton behemoth, Benson said, runs so well that it “has never had a wrench touch it.” (source)
