Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow Portable Toilet Pump

The Build

The infamous Monster Garage Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow-into-portable-toilet-pump build — Bodie's TV origin story.

For Monster Garage, the Jesse James build team — Bodie among them — turned a 1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow into a functioning portable-toilet pump-out truck. The finished 'Honey Wagon' later crossed the block at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2008.

  • 1969 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow donor vehicle
  • Built as part of Jesse James's Monster Garage team format
  • Later sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2008

Vehicle History

The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow was the marque's first monocoque car and its best-selling model ever at the time. This example was famously transformed on the TV show Monster Garage into a mobile portable-toilet pump truck — surely the only one of its kind.

Known for: the only Rolls-Royce ever converted into a toilet pump truck, on Monster Garage

Bodie Stroud joins the build as the design-team specialist, brought in as the owner-operator of Port-A-San portable sanitation — engineering the pump, tank, and plumbing so the Rolls stays outwardly stock.
