Most people in Las Vegas bet with chips, but Danny “The Count” Koker bets with cars. This Sin City legend walks, talks and breathes cars and bikes. When he sees a car he wants, he will do whatever it takes to get his hands on it-including making on-the-spot cash offers to unsuspecting owners. On the HISTORY series Counting Cars, Danny and his team restore, customize and sell cars in a hurry, scrambling to keep their Las Vegas shop in the black. From classics to exotics, from hotrods to choppers, Danny and the crew of Count’s Kustoms will stop at nothing to find and flip the greatest rides of all time.

I love this show 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Omg seeing him tear 😭 up made me tear up and after seeing the grill being given to Kevin really broke me. But I really wanted to say was Count is a true American who has a super heart towards human beings!!! You're an epic dude Counting cars 🚘 Much love and respect to you, your staff and families. God bless you all, also at the History Channel thank you for your doing.such a wonderful job on the making of the video.
Danny,,,please make your video longer bc injust cant get enough ,,it would be wa better youtube channel,,,,,,🙏
Mad props on the grill display
Presenting the grille as a keepsake was a pure class act on Danny's part. Part of Vegas that needs to be world wide.
When he wheeled out the grille, I thought they had made it into a grill!
Here Here!
Danny really does seem like a good dude. Even when he's on Pawn Stars or American Restoration or popping up somewhere else, he just has this aura about him of a big ole softie.
Absolutely World Class!!!! Love it!!
Well said......
Danny is a classy gentleman. He presented the grille at the end. Made me all teary eyed.
Man that’s the sexiest car that’s been on the show
Same
I'm glad I wasn"t the only one...haha....
Me too
Giving him the grill at the end it was the best gift ever for that guy ...
When he got emotional talking about his dad and the memories they shared i get it. I know a lot of us do. We have to walk tall for our dads 💚
Must be nice 👀
Agreed, this is one of the most spiritual episodes I've seen.
yes 💚
@@AllPRoRepublic you ain’t the only one brother
Don't know how that feels since i grew up without a dad. Must be nice to have a dad talk
Danny is a pure hearted Soul…….God bless his parents for raising him like what he is now…..❤
I'm pretty well grizzled at age 74, but when they rolled out that grille, I welled up! Too cool for school..
I welled up too
Hope you are healthy and safe.
I'm about to turn 38 in less than a week and I never understood my dad until I became a father myself. He is going to be 72 this year and I lost my only grandfather (my dad's dad) when I was 13 and I was the first to find him passed, and I still carry that around to this day, but I know that when my dad goes I'm really going to be inconsolable. I've always been a mommy's boy, so I don't know how I'm going to deal with her loss.
Same here at 51
You, Mr. Koker, are a class act. Not only did you invite that gentleman to the reveal of his former family car, you also give him a part of the car that was hand built by him and his dad. This kindness is why Count's Kustoms is one of my favorite shows. Kudos, sir.
I agree. If I could afford a classic restoration that's where I would go.
This is EXACTLY why I have always been a big fan of Danny and Count's Kustoms...because this man has a big heart and he genuinely LOVES to give back and show tribute to people's memories. This is just another reminder of why Danny is so loved in the car community. He didn't have to find this man, he didn't have to do ANYTHING to show honor to this man's father, but the fact that he did and presented this man with such an awesome memorable gift is what makes Danny such a great guy. I'm proud to be a car guy myself because of guys like Danny...honestly.
Danny is such a great dude, we need more Danny's in this world.
agreed, talented and a decent guy
I spent many an hour sweeping fiberglass and waxing molds as a kid in my dads shop. R.I.P. pops love ya.
absolutely gorgeous design by a gorgeous mind
it's a beautiful car
@Z thanks for asking. As a kid I remember him having 2 different corvettes and barracuda by Plymouth for awhile. He also drove a nova. Those cars stand out in my memory. I’m sure he had others it’s been too many years ago to remember all of them. sorry. He died in 2004 many years after leaving the car business. 👍
You are the real G dude i want ur autograph
Sweetest kit car to come out of the US! stunning shapes and proportions.
A genuine father/son tearful reaction. Not rehearsed.
All that talk...take the poor guy FOR A RIDE!!!
I'm sure they did off camera
Oh that guy aint poor.
@@Dominate.Da.Industry you can have all the money in the world and still be poor
@@drift240sx9 nah
@@drift240sx9 no, you'd have all the money in the world
Made me miss my Dad more than ever...you made a battle hardened old Veteran cry...
Thank u 4 ur service
The car is beautiful and your actions are commendable of generosity and nobility of mind, the Count is immense!!!Congratulations!!
Honestly THE BEST EPISODE EVER! It has everything. An AMAZING car, an epic rebuild, and cool touching story. Way to go Danny!!
I was genuinely happy for that man when they rolled out the grill, thats not only a childhood memory but a memory of his father. Amazing well done Danny.
Danny's got a heart of gold.
Danny's passion towards his work and such a compassionate conscience makes him second to none, truly gem of a person!
My favorite episode by far, shows his true character and his thoughtfulness. Really separates from the others
That might be the most beautiful car I've ever laid eyes on. GREAT JOB GUYS!
One of the best restoration done by Count Kustom. This is so sick.. Good job Count and his team.
ONE,OF HIS BEST CARS EVER BUILT!
No mames
Danny has immense class and his work shows it.
He loved his dad and I know for sure his dad loved him!!!!! If only every son could have a dad like that!!!!
That car is beautiful. And the silver fits it perfectly And those wheels are so SWEET. Nice job Danny ✌🏼
This episode made me once again wish I had a father .Respects bro the Count for reaching out the the original Owners son and sharing this reveal with him .
My dad taught me everything. Even how to walk. He’s still around and I’m now a truck mechanic because of how much he’s taught me. Very blessed that I have supportive parents because I don’t where I would be today without them. Father’s day and mother’s day is every day.
I like the owner-built grill better than the new one. It has an Aston-Martin vibe.
completely agree.
I kind of agree - still a beautiful car, but grille > extra headlights
I looks like something James bond would drive
Omg I guessed its an old Aston
Amen. Classic 60’s Euro
The car is awesome and and so is does the COUNT he's a class act for sure
Went to their display room while I was in Vegas, amazing work that they do.
I've watched many restorations and I vote this one of the best ever. Work of art. Excellent work.
That was beautiful Danny. It made me cry. You could only understand if you never had a father, how much that moment, that car and that grill would mean to someone.
One of the most beautiful cars I ve ever seen . Elegant . I ve been a car guy for 40 years and I was lucky enough to have had a job that allowed me to drive many many exotic multimillion dollar cars from zonda to gt40 etc.. . There is just something about the lines of this car that make it exotic and elegant at the same time .
They did that car right. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow man!! You got me on this one!! Got tears in my eyes... Beautiful sentiments. Beautiful car . In the end ??? The father was honored and the son was grateful .
Beautiful car, beautiful story. What a treat for the man who grew up working on this car with his dad! Counting Cars just made that guy's year!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this car and its evolution ! The one thing that I think would befit its beauty is a chrome bezel for the opening in the hood scoop. Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL day !!!
Probably THE Best Counting Cars I have ever seen. The Count & his crew flat out Rock It. I was raised in Vacaville since I was 5 yrs old 1966-1983 but never knew of the family of the story. Very Cool. Peace -tom
The generosity is priceless. Thanks to Count and team
Total respect to the count and his crew. You guys are amazing. Much love from western Canada
The tears were real heart felt. Your dad is proud of you bro. As for Danny I am sure you had a round of applause from all Angels surrounding the world. Beautiful episode
Former Air Force pilot, you can see the inspiration. First thought that came to mind was the SR-71 Blackbird. If this car was painted black with red pinstriping it would remind me of the SR-71. The world's fastest, highest flying plane in the world. The count did a great job on this car. If I win a few hundred million dollar lottery guess who I'll be calling. Thanks for sharing!
Brother, this Kellison is SICK !!!!! I love it!
Danny "Count" that was great. You made his day when you presented him the grill. Great Job ! .
Danny is one of the most respected of any of the guys that host car shows. He shows that warmth and humanity are indeed part of being a gearhead. A truly wonderful man without any doubt. I'd really like to meet him.
Counting car's, you're an awesome American who really has a heart of gold for two things, Cars 🚖 and people. This is one I'll never forget!!!!
That grille at the end made me welled up a little.
Truely one, if not the best restoration ever on KC. So clean and those fender flares really add visual power to the car. Great work.
That is one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. What a great story and renovation. I’d like to see more on this car.
Insanely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!
Love counting cars and Danny and his lads a genuinely nice man
That car is breath taking. I don't get impressed much on cars but this 1 gets a standing ovation
I love what they did with the resto. Hopefully the Count gave the guy back some of the parts they made when he was young that they didn't reuse
a true classic, and an amazing piece of art!!!
Danny is one class act. Just bringing the original owner's son to see it's reveal to the world is cool. Then to go a step further and redo the grill that he and his dad fabricated for a keepsake and memorial to that shows integrity. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was like this? God bless Danny and the crew at Counting Cars.
Danny seems like such a pure guy
As always, a really beautiful job. The grill piece shows the wonderful character of you and the guys.
Man that brought tears to my eyes!!! Always liked those guys and I think extremely awesome for them to think about how someone would feel having that much history with that car as to save a piece of that car him and his father built!! Those are some stand up guy's and that is by far one f the sickest cars I've ever seen.... everything was perfect.... especially the choice of rims with that hood imo really set it off big time!!! Love this show. 🇺🇸👊😎🇺🇸
When he broke down crying i about joined him. That was a moment of pure class on Danny’s part.
Easily one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.
As a car guy myself, that episode brought yesrs to my eyes.
I had a chance to meet The Count just before last year's SEMA & he is such a nice guy & a class act!
One of those videos where you can feel. Literally feel it.
Im from india Mr. Danny.... It is so loveable to see ur passion towards building the cars I hv never seen something like this before, the way u present them at the end it's really overwelming to see made me to increase my love for cars. God bless u. Keep inspiring... 👏👏
This car looks like something 007 James bond would drive. Classy and fierce.
i mean it does look like an Aston Martin DB 5
@@dynamitedingo8183 007 did drive Aston Martin. Having a bond car would be pretty cool.
i was thinking the same thing
Seriously one of the best vids I watched from you guys! Thank you.
Saw this car today at count kustoms, didn’t know what it was but after seeing this video, I’m glad I got to see it…. I’m not crying, your crying. What a beautiful story to a beautiful car. The fact that they turned the grill into an art piece, just made everything very special. ❤️🙏🏻
I always liked this guy.... but now I love him. What a wonderful gift... God Bless YOU Brother!
Made me miss my dad R.I.P I promise one day dad I will fix up the 63 Chevy truck you passed on to me
keep that thing somewhere safe. dont let tall grass grow under it. tarp it or store inside if you can. you will enjoy restoring that truck. worth every minute. RIP to all the dads we miss. I know I miss mine.
they look like they came straight out of GTA san andreas.
Wow the great thing about Danny's show is they make the cars the real stars. Very entertaining show I think this is one of my favorite builds.
That’s just incredible. Not only the car b it the act of kindness presented. Beautiful.
Danny's going to start to have to wear a cap, even though his bandana keeps getting wider, his hairline keeps getting narrower
@Frisbe Danny we know its you brother, just shave it off and be done with it.
@@audibleadventures9004 haha!
ahh, wish they didn't cut it up. sounds like it was rare of a kind
St Danny. Emotional experiences with mechanical objects. Priceless.
ran in to danny and kevin at the airport in vegas a couple years ago, totally cool guys that werent bothered at all when i came over and told them how i loved the show......class acts all around
that is the fugliest hood scoop I have ever seen. please, shorten the stacks, mill the manifold top, and redo it
Agree
....the entire point was to showcase the borla retro injection. It's a point of emphasis. Most of the other kellison body types had scoops shaped like that just not as big.
@@fvgc454ss - then they should have lowered the engine in the chassis, and made the correct scoop
i love it. Favorite part of it is the lines and curves. Get a volvo.
That guy needs a shop that is suitable for television.
My god that silver is liquid friggin metal! Just love this car and K Kustoms, top notch men and artists right here. I know it’s TV but I also know they actually do build these. Made me tear up as well.
Stunning, absolutely the best.
There are maybe 5 guys on the entire planet that can put a $100K paint job on a car. Ryan is two of them.
The hood scoop ruined the lines
This looks like a James Bond car! . This is Hollywood level of artistry . Much respect to the team fr .
Man Danny seems like a super cool dude, all heart, and class.
The Original grill looked a lot better.
It looks like a Datsun 240-Z
I said the same thing.
I was not sure the changes would work, but man, the car looks great. Nice touch giving him the grill as a wall hanging was a nice touch!
How can you not love that man
Car looks great except for the hood scoop, to bulbous.
exactly, ruined the lines of a great car
I was expecting him to give him the car or drive it.
I tell ya what, I got a little teary-eyed on this. Danny and his crew are some really good fellas.
Danny is just the coolest, nicest guy. Great big heart, and down to earth. Love him.
The hood scoop just doesnt do it for me. I think a much choice would have been anything else.
Agree.
The hood the way it was before they put the bigass scoop in it was awesome, IMHO.
Hood intake just sucks though. So much more could of been done there.
This is why I love Danny. I'm balling my eyes out right now....
This is one of the sexiest cars Ive ever seen
Still my favorite show today and right on Danny for that class act 🥺👍🏼
Danny is a gem of a human. The world is a better place because of his heart for people.
Danny seems like such a great guy.
How can you not love the Count??? Such an understanding of love for autos and what they mean to people. I think of my ol Man every time I watch the show thanks Count.. Rockie Earl RIP...
