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.

Ahh dude! I would've kept it stock. It looked beautiful. That's just me though.
Right in there with yeah buddy but Still. She looks gorgeous
Second that!
Welding the tailgate shut ruined the truck
Exactly
Another vehicle ruined by these guys…
Rather the back wasnt welded nice to flip down and sit on the back wth a cold beer lol
Agreed. How bad azz would it be with a 6" wood siderail and wooden slat truckbed?
Agreed
Yeah, I think a truck should be a truck. Welding the tailgate with the electric tonneau makes it a 2 seat coupe with an oversized trunk. Of course that fits with the vinyl on the seats, not exactly functional either
100% agree! That's my biggest disappointment on the truck. Smh
Yep. Can always bet on the Count doing one thing to a car that makes you go ehhhhhh
...welding the back end just took most of the utility out of it
Show truck!!
Last time I checked, hot rods aren’t designed to be practical. In case you missed it, they’re a customs shop. Crazy designs and styling are what they specialize in and is basically the whole point of this show. Watching this show and expecting practical and minimalistic car builds is like going to a vegan convention and expecting a BBQ.
@@jlim9411 a truck having utility, makes it attractive.
They could've swapped the engine & kept the rest stock. The tailgate looked so much better before.
Keith Weller attractiveness is relative. Some people find utility attractive, others find the impractical hot rod look attractive. There’s obviously a market for builds like that (a market with really wealthy buyers) and they’re choosing to fill that market. Don’t get me wrong, I think welding the tailgate was the worst thing they did to that truck, I prefer practical car builds just as much as you do, but you’re acting like that’s the only way it should be done and that people who think otherwise are idiots. Just accept the fact that people have different tastes and that there’s nothing wrong with that.
I had a 66 with straight six van. This is pure beauty! Thanks for bringing it to us!
Gotta love the Count! I knew it was going into his personal collection. 😂😆
I have seen a lot of these trucks since the 1960's and this is the first one that I remember that did not have any rust problems. Even in Texas many would have rust around the wheel wells and inside the step at the bottom of the doors. This body was perfect.
Got a kick out of it when Danny and Ryan quietly slipped away and took off in it. So funny! Beautiful Econoline btw.
Danny and Ryan were like have you driven it nope let's go wile those 3 knuckleheads were chatty kating about it 😂😂😂😅😅😅
I may be an odd duck, but this is pretty much my favorite build. I've always wanted one.
I'm not going to lie they messed that car up I liked how it looked in the beginning
U can see danny made that truck for himself. It's got everything he likes on it tucked paint colors 70s everywhere plus he doesn't hve one
they turned it into a hot wheels car should have went with stock elegant look with some luxury interior
I’m with u on that man
agreed! I loved the original version.
They’re a customs shop. Not a restoration shop. Everything they do, they do either because someone’s paying them, or because they just want to and know it’ll make them money. Stop hating on them for doing what they do best and being successful.
maybe in 59 more years it looks too goofy for a luxury type look
@@schwiftyRican62 he said stock, elegant. The interior would've been luxury. I'm with him. All about the Count & crew but a lot of times, they disappoint me with their vision...
Okay now this truck Rocks! Excellent Job and perfect paint and correct 1960's style! A+! Still, I would have left the Bumpers front and rear on and of course chrome.
That was one of a kind, it's absolutely amazing and gorgeous
Everyones crying about the welded tailgate but lets be real, whoever is buying this isnt using the bed.
Love what you have done to that truck/van looks like a lot of fun
He is like a Surrogate mother, who cannot give up the child once born!
Slap fives!
Wtf?! Got rid of the bumpers? ..ok
Welded the tailgate?!
Nooooo!
why not, it is the way they did it back in the early 70s for shows
I like the paint job, the stance is perfect with the big rear tires and I'd have kept the bumpers for sure.
it's pretty cool... i think an original resto might have been better.
Facts
I don’t blame you Danny! I’d keep it too! Gorgeous ride!
Antique should look antique,they spoiled its character,oldness,grace & above all its simplicity...
Who agrees??
Luv it Danny... Had a 69 100 Dodge van I drove to high school every day ..well.!! Except when a van full of us left the parking lot oh the memories.... Would luv one
I'd like to make that econoline, econo-mine.
Sorry for the tasteless pun everyone!
@@DailyDoseDocumentary lOl
Ryan's doing his best to talk Danny into keeping it.
At 5:57 Danny and Ryan gets an idea. Lol!
The farther back Counts hair goes back the bigger the bandana. Soon, he's going to be wearing a 10x10 tarp on his head to hide his baldness.
Lol
It’s in The Count’s personal collection!!!😂😂😂
One tight truck 🎉🎉🎉 Amen praying for everyone Amen
🤣🤣✊ he said I think he's keeping it 🤣
Absolutely ruined it 😂😂
haha Danny watches it all unfolds, stays quietly in his corner, then he doesnt say "fak this im out" he just went in, drove off... too cool
Nice! I just picked up a 64 same windows
That 1961 Econoline looks so 1970s boogie van custom with that crazy deep dark metal flake paint job and pinstripe borders.
I laughed so much My face was hurting flip it ya go to fast around corner 😂
Neat, neat, reply. I heard a funny comment a very long time ago, but don't remember where. It going something like this"I'm so funny I crack myself up !!?!" I think you might also enjoy the comment I posted, here (?).
Beautiful truck
God do I love that 61 ford ecoline custom 👍
Very cool, dig the seventies show car vibe, paint is awesome, (I could not do that in a million years!), but could do without the pinstripes and if I owned the first thing I would do is take that tacky chrome Counts Customs off the front, wouldn't pitch it in the garbage, but it would be pretty cool to hang on my wall!😀😀😀
Love it
Unlike everyone else, l love the welded up rear end. And the zoomies. A little too nose down for my taste but that paint, Wow. I had the van version of this and it does NOT nose over or even pull up the rear tires. I put a 351 Cleveland four barrel motor in mine and an auto. Did get the FRONT wheels off the ground though. Really miss it!.
Im glad he's keeping it, it belongs in his showroom for sure.
They flip cars to pay bills. Danny must not care about paying bills.
Too much horse-assing around in a business. No one is serious.
Gorgeous. Danny, don't ever sell this one like you did the Rivi. No amount of money would be worth losing this gem in your collection.
Best car yet, love it Count
I'M GLAD YOU KEPT IT ON THE REAL
I always wondered how Danny stays in business when he wants to keep most of the cars his shop builds. History/A&E must pay well!
Don`r forget the shop, the bar & the band.
Dam She's A Beautiful Truck! Absolutely Keep It!
I'm "Glad " you kepted it Danny!!
The welded tailgate and tonoue (spelling?) cover are dumb . So is the seat material
Tonneau cover ( helping you out) 😊
Dodge prowler

Before the invention of erasers, people were using breadcrumbs to erase pencil marks.

I wish I had that truck it's cool
your the best count watchinh here from phillipines
Hi! Thanks for watching! Subscribe to never miss a new video!
Bo Duke would slide into that and slide right out the other side... man those seats look slick.
In Counts defense, The truck looks gorgeous, and people complaining in the comments made some good point,
But guys lets be real, This truck wasn't going back to the farm, it's made for Show, not for work,
great negotiation .investment made. value gained here
Good call!
Beautiful.
Nice!
My first vehicle was an Econoline truck 5 window... Baby blue... It did have a six cylinder though... Man, I wish I had it now ...
Econoline is awesome but my fav is still the Dreamer you built.
Love everything about it but the pin striping
Good move Danny.... I would keep it too !👍
It's a keeper. Wow! sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
THAT'S ONE SICK TRUCK! ONE OF A KIND. DON'T LET TGAT BABY GO! NO, NADA, NADITA!
Another coooool truck from Counts Customs .
Hi DANNY...👋👋👋 50th like....COUNTING CAR'S my favorite program in HISTORY TV18.....
NICE WORK YALL 💪🏽
I remember having hot wheels that looked like that 😂
Best original Color 👍
Exactly ☺️
Show me the manufacturing process please 👍
Not a hope on this side of Hades Id have sold that! 🇨🇦💚🤘
Mike shoulda made a big Ratfink to put in the back. arms hanging down over the left side and a right hand on a big shifter. ;-)
My landlord has one next to his office just sitting there
Wouldn't want it but it's really cool, great job guys!
I liked it better when it was stock now it just look a toy car and really 60 grand for this, Vegas really have some deep pockets
Dude, it screams Hot Wheels !
BEAT THAT
This is owesome.....
Good choice to keep it 👍👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
The Scooby Doo van .....
Memory to Rosa.
This thing is awesome!
Sweet ride..
Love what he did with it. Stock these trucks were goofy looking cant believe all the anti mod comments.
Love to have Ryan paint my 'El. Always thought a Greenbriar (corvair truck) version of this, 4x would be cool wtih the rampside bed. Have to be a turbo too
I love these put two big people in the cab head down a hill and slam on the breaks
Well done 😎
I'd keep it too!
😲,
👌.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
Will have to argue about the truck. It looks beautiful but I like more original. Like having functional tailgate.
I like that guy he’s from pawn stars !
Just wrong Danny and this is the first time I've thought that about what you build! I'm not only an Econoline lover, but also I own Econolines!
Usually I can understand the logic behind the builds on this show. I don't always like them, but I can at least see why they went in that direction. This however is just bad. They turn down some Frankenstein monstrosity that is glorified to sit in the corner of some garage lost and forgotten. They should have done a resto mod with a counts customs flair.
For everbody who is listen 🗣🗣 dont giv up we in this together🤜🏾🤛🏾 i pray if yall wanna be TH-camrs like or Great dont give up💛
Hello Baka
I have a 1965 Econoline Pickup with a 302 in it
I would’ve restored it to original
Keep it!
And that's the way you do it
Looks real good, sounds real fine. Wondered if it feels top-heavy in turns~~~?
Hey, I, and perhaps they Mr. Koker and others of his shop may have not noticed that. Though I don't think it could have been an issue when driving it! Neat comment you presented (here). It's Great (like from Tony the Tiger of the cereal boxes- and the advertisements that used to be presented on TV, back in the day. I grew up during that time period. By ! RDRT
I understand the, "70's ", vibe.
Yet, all interiores look like the truck!!
Like the outside, but not the inside!
Love the paint thanks history I'd keep it too
lolz that was totally epic 🎯💯💯
Hey it turned out beautifully ... but it appeared to be in such great original condition that it seems a shame to have customized it. Might have been better to restore it or maybe a restomod with the Icon treatment. And welding the tailgate ... that hurt.
