This 1971 El Camino SS 454 Is a Factory 1-of-1 (Here's Why)

In Episode 203 of Cars, Shops & Collections we check out a 1971 El Camino SS 454 that is a 1 of 1! Can you spot what makes it unique? Nick from NXS Street Machines in Henderson is the man behind the restoration of this 1971 El Camino SS 454… And YES! It’s a TRUE SS. Bob Bailey is the owner of the car and he bought the car brand new in 1971 and used it to haul his race bikes across the country. In fact, the TRIUMPH in the bed of the truck has a wild back story. Trust me… there is something VERY SPECIAL about this El Camino that makes it a 1 of 1. We reveal this in the first few minutes of the episode. But watch till the end as we discover little nuisances that make this El Camino so unique! A huge thank you to our friend Nick for inviting us to his shop to film this 1 of 1 El Camino. And thank you to Bob for sharing his treasure with us, Bob is an accomplished motorcycle racer and Hollywood stuntman. He shares some great stories and we for sure will be heading out to his personal garage for a follow up episode!
