    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.

      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
      @jlim9411 3 года назад +3

      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 personally like it. The only thing I’m not a fan of is welding the tailgate. You guys are forgetting that they’re a customs shop, and doing crazy stuff like this is just a part of what they do. They’re the ones who paid for the truck, so what they do to it is no one else’s business. Especially if it makes them happy and makes them money. If they want to turn it into a crazy hot rod, let them do it. Let’s face it, weirder stuff has been done in the car community.

    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.

    There was a back window shelf in the 1967, Mustang, that my eldest girls would take turns sleeping on, when we drove from Maryland to Nebraska, in 1968. We miss that shelf to this day.
    Nothing is said about this shelf in any discussion of Mustangs. Do you remove them?
