Wrecks to Riches | S2E1 | Chevy El Camino

Barry's looking for a new challenge and as far as he's concerned, there's only one choice - an El Camino. His newest fabricator, Bobby, has an emotional attachment to the El Camino; his dad gave him a '69 when he was a teenager. Although not Bobby's car, Barry's '70 El Camino wreck tugs at Bobby's heart.
He's helping rebuild this one for his dad, who'll be 'looking over his shoulder' as fiercely as his boss. Barry's money and Bobby's family ties are at stake - and they only have four weeks to get the car ready for auction.

The coolest dude I've ever known drove a '81 El Camino to high school every day.

Nice to see a muscle car like the El Camino restored completely.My kind of muscle car to own!

mam362 Seems like that’s the constant theme of this show.

[@RayPlant77]

It's yhe constant theme of every show that builds anything. Cars, houses, food, they're all out of time and literally finish as the clock hits zero. It's getting very old.

Ok the guy that said that the elcamino is a stupid car is a prius owner and doesn't know what he's talking about

[@davisonthomas4697]

I'm a Prius owner and I'm buying a 72' El Camino today. Prius owners are just smart.

The love, skill and dedication to craftsmanship is what comes to the forefront with Barry and his team of merry artisans. It never gets old seeing them resurrect an old car to greater glory while entertaining us, and making mint!

Sharp looking camino.

[@stevesolo16]

Although my favorite year El Camino is the 1967, I'll have to say the 70 is a close 2nd. BTW, a well built engine with a stroker motor of that size should make more power than the 550hp. When the heads were tossed on without taking ANY measurements, it makes me wonder where the big bucks he spent on the motor went to? When I build a motor, the motor is assembled and disassembled at least 3 times to put the fitment right and record the clearances. My 496 naturally aspirated with 10.5:1 compression on 91 octane pump gas made 712hp with 651 ft.lbs of torque.It's the little things and knowing the correct mathematics for the parts you are using that makes the money you spend on the motor , worth it. I'm from Corona, Ca and had a business on the same street as theirs.LOL

[@TheGeorgeLara]

Steve Solo thats the difference you get when you know what youre doing, most of these engine builders do cheap fast work for a bigger profit

[@xavierschneider6274]

May your father rest in piece your story hit home for me, the elcamino will always remind me of my father I too took on his elcamino(1980) and am trying hard to learn to fix it

What a sweet ride. Love those cars. I had a 70 EC that I did a body on restoration. It was very nice but nothing close to that. Some drunk towing a trailer side swiped it. It was fixable but before the carnage, it was a very strait, no Bondo car. I just couldn't love it anymore.

[@centurygarage]

Deja Vu....1/20/1970 brought home my new El Camino, 300 HP, 4speed, bench seat, vinyl roof, Moss Green but that was the good part. It must have built on a Friday or a Monday because it needed to back to dealer for paint in the bed, oil in the gearbox and restore the fuse link to get it to run again. All this in the first five months. Sold it in May to fresh college architecture grad.

[@gerhelwinters1967]

I Loved my El Camino!

in australia we call that a ute

[@nukenuked5749]

dammm right mate it drive me mad when thay call a ute a tuck

[@ragnarocking]

Chevrolet called it a "coupé utility vehicle" though it is classified as a truck by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), since the latter class doesn't exist. Strangely, the Ford Ranchero - which the El Camino was competing with - was classified as a car. They're both based on a 2-door station wagon platform. The chances are, the car's class designation came down to one person at the DMV whom didn't know any better and permanently classed it a truck based on the fact that it had a bed in the back.

[@huajie7954]

We filipino call it UTEN

[@0Heeroyuy01]

@@ragnarocking you are wrong my 73 is classified as a SUV by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), also the El Caminos are based of the Malibu chassis.

Every episode has a crisis and time is always running out. Yet somehow they just squeak in every week,and,usually make a profit to boot.When my dad and I used to watch these shows a few year's a go, we used to try and guess what the crisis would be with the loser shouting the beers. Still a good programme and the car's sure look good.It's 2016 now.Is Barry's still going.????.

Originally the script said they got it for 800, dude on the phone got his lines wrong.

[@feltongailey8987]

I love when a buyer makes me a ridiculously low offer and tells me it's cash. I look at them and say, of course it is...you think I'd take your check.

[@marcuslinton310]

Cash only worked back in the day when a business could keep cash payments off the books and tax free. Doesn't work as well these days where everything can be traced so "cash" has no incentive value any more. You know Barry has that $1,000 listed under expenses for buying that car.
