Hi!
like 👍 👍
To be honest ireally want that car i hope i can have that in the future
23k?? He lowballed a lowball on this poor guy and called it a win win all the way around??
at first i wasnt sure if i liked Danny, but i gotta say hes a pretty cool guy and he knows his stuff :)
This old guy is awesome. Hope he kept his home and got another vette
Love your name... oh and the old man
The guy is awesome because he understands priorities.
Imagine the whole losing the house thing was just a story and really he wanted a big down payment for a new C8 Corvette. lol
I hope someone gives him the new 2020 c8 or an old split-window vette
@@NoodleBoy101 lol
It's so sad to see so many people losing their houses nowadays!
@Todd Cahill u never know what a person is going through all u can do is be kind
That old guy isn't losing his house because of the shutdown he's retired so his income hasn't been affected.
The banks are cashing in on THEIR misfortune ; and still they're money hungry, thieves! 🤔👎
This is an old episode lol
this episode (the purchase part) was literally years ago.
Several years ago my Dad bought a 69 Charger R/T from a man who had just and I mean JUST lost his wife to cancer (her car still sat in their driveway) and he couldn’t pay the medical bills. Man “needed” and asked for 30 grand. My Dad went straight to the bank and gave the gentleman 40. And that Charger now sits in my garage 10 years after my fathers passing. I’m not saying what Danny did was bad in anyway, I just wanted to share the story.
Thanks for the story.Your dad was a good man. I was born in 70, my dad had an orange charger with a white interior. it is my earliest memory. He sold it shortly after. I guess it was not a family man's car. Wish it was still around, wish he was too.
What your father did (and I can imagine what kind of a great man would have done that) makes my belief in humanity stronger.
You had an awesome Dad, my friend. What a great story. Thanks for sharing it.
I prefer the pop up headlights ngl 😂😂
So do l
Fr that the only thing I really didn’t like on the car
Yes, should have went with modded pop up headlights or original as long as they work. The pop ups on most any car back in the day was a must have. Bottom line they were cool.
To change the front like that and to put sidepipes, should be a crime
If he was selling this to Rick he would say 2000 dollars and I'm taking all the risk here.
Well technically I thought he was the guys name was Rick lmao but yes ur right
He is taking all the risk
😂 right
Rick would ask a part of his house as well?
Because he runs a pawn shop and has to make a profit. You can't go into that kind of store expecting retail prices.
This has to be one of the most gorgeous Vettes I've ever seen!
UNTIL DANNY HACKED IT ALL UP
@@PostUp_Time The front end looks ridiculous.
I would love to see him restore a car to its original condition as it came off the assembly line.
They’re hard to sell. Drum brakes, no power steering, horrible suspension.. resto mods get more than numbers matching cars nowadays
It’d be cool if he put some 22 inch rims and a ps2 in there
He's done a few on customers request
@@paranoidandroid9979 😂
@@NORTAH85 my old car from back in those Days had power steering had power brakes AC nice car
Should have left the pop up headlights
Agree!✌😎🏴☠️
Should have left the pop up headlights
When he said he wants to help the old man, I thought he might offer 30k. The car with rework is worth 60k+
He's been hanging out with Rick from Pawn Stars for too long, lol. I knew he'd lowball the guy, while calling it "help."
@@DeathBringer769 not just anyone is in the market for 60,000 $ tho so he needed money allegedly his loss for not being able to take care of himself
Wow, 23k for a 66 vette. You robbed that old man, should have just gave him the 25k because the car is worth so much more.
He bought a chassis. The interior was junk. He bought it without knowing if it even ran. You should never go in to business.
Rosco it was probably worth 35 to 40 easily.
Count was thinking how much he would invest in the car. Bodywork,new engine and other mechanicals. His cost probably turned into 32K and he probably sold it for 50K. He could have saved cost and offered the original owner more if he wasn't going to do the custom work and just stuck with making it stock.
That was a steal....I've seen.much worse go for much more. He should have gotten his asking price
He shorted him some cause this is after all a business. But the condition of this car means it wasn't worth barely half what it would of been. But it also means you can fix it and have enough room to make it worth while. I'd love to drop 60k on that tho.
You did that old man justice. Kept it amazing
Removing the bumper and changing the headlights - destroyed the car! I normally love his cars, but I can't get behind this one.
Right?! I hate the front end! RUINED!
Totally agree.
hideous headlights.
I agree with you about the bumper but the headlights are perfect Chevy made cars with these headlights for racing.
I agree too. Plus removing the factory gauges...
Getting rid of the front bumper was a mistake IMO
And the pop ups tbh imo they look better they create a sleeker design
The headlights ruin the car ☹️
It's back to original, looks wise.
No I love how Danny done the car love it
I can get behind the headlights, but you're right about the bumper.
Never ever change a 66 Corvette. Worth much much more original.
Old guy is such an awesome soul🤘🏼
You ruined it with the headlights ugh
Always prefer seeing iconic cars being restored to their original look (especially the headlights & front bumper in this case). The work done on the car is great but something about it feels wrong
Right. Without the bumpers it looks like a teethless mouth in a way
Yeah. It looks nice Og I don’t like what they did to the headlights
The headlights, went away with the pop up and the customs. They look sleeker
I agree. It looks dumb with no front bumper and the ridiculous headlights. If I were the buyer, I would have Count's Kustoms put the bumper back on and fix the headlights back to stock.
I would have taken it for 25k. Its totally worth it. Quoting 18k for that car is kind of disrespectful.
And then he had the gall to call that lowball offer "helping a guy out of a jam" lol. He's been hanging out with lowball Rick from Pawn Stars for too long.
That's the first car i felt terrible to see anything get changed on it
Ya they did it dirty with that front end and headlights.. looked so much better with original stinger front end
feeling the same, it seemed 100% original, even the engine...and now...well...not so great to me..
this guys dedication to wear that rag on his head and literally never ever reveal your bald head is mind boggling...the car is pretty cool though
Jesus give him the 25g.
Rampage this a business deal, not charity.
@@branzilla7833 They walked on his property uninvited. Pay what he's asking. Exactly not a charity pony up the $ or walk away.
Simple answer they're there just to get his car out of his driveway and never be seen again by him
I wish this fantastic gentlman to keep his house and be happy.
Now that's a slick ride right there. A car to kill for.
I think it’s missing the bumper
it is. It's missing BOTH the Right and Left bumpers. The 1966 Corvette came from the factory with a 2 piece bumper. The guy and his "crew" are butchers.
Not a fan of the front end, but what a great color! Diggin it
Ye they kinda f'ed up the front.
FRONT END IS COMPLETE HATCHET JOB. THOSE FLIP LIGHTS AE WORTH THOUSANDS WITH ALL ACTUATING PARTS. REALLY DUMB TO TAKE OFF. HE PROBABLY SOLD THEM, POCKETED CASH ALONG WITH BUMPER, GRILL, ETC. AND THE STANCE IS HORRIBLE
@@michael2305 Was the front end already wrecked ?
Wonder what the cost of the original restore parts would have been?
No telling what may have been screwed up.
I get the point tho on an original antique car
Have to say tho,he sold me on the new head light set up,as long as eye cus git spare parts and all.
@@PostUp_Time Totally agree
Those headlights are my favorite part
Dude that Vette is gorgeous! Good on you Count ! Glad you could help the fella :)
3:56 old man showed that he's John Wick. The dog and the car 💀
I was just thinking that those head light are look awful!
This was such a perfect outcome and couldn't of ended with a better person stopping by!
Trying to low ball an already great deal smh
Not to mention the poor guy needed the money for his house :(
Yeah you're just an angel doing everybody favors aren't you
what a cool old guy
Guess you can call me a purest, deleting the head lights took all the "sting" out of the Stingray.
Sorry Danny I don’t like the headlights or the front bumper omitted every thing is awesome.
i completely agree. Danny taste is ugly sometimes . I hate front light's on that car.
I love the way he covers his forehead
It speaks LOUDLY of his insecurity about his receding hairline.
He should have given him the 25 . He needed the help and Danny would still make a huge profit . And it looks terrible without the front bumper . It looks like it was isn't complete . Like where is the front bumper.
Sorry, but that's sacrilege. The C2 is one of the most beautiful production cars ever built. It can't be improved. If you want to fiddle around with the exterior like that go a GTO or something.
Preach it homie
Nothing this guy Danny does ever turns out really well. It's always some sort of tacky custom.
@@lukeskywalker1840 the reason why I cant stand the show most of the time is because 99% of the time they add as many pinstripes as possible. They make nice cars look like Hot Wheels
Yup. It's funny because taking cars and customizing them, making them non-stock/non-original, is exactly what he criticizes and lowers the value for people's cars they bring in over at Pawn Stars when they ask him over as their "expert" lol. But that's exactly what Danny does on his own show constantly.
I'm about to cry. Absolutely beautiful!
Danny Koker gets paid $100,000 per episode. You couldn't give the old guy who was about to lose his house the 25k he was asking? Come on man.
Naww Danny is a BIG Coke hed
The 92 corolla pretty nice in white
SERIOUSLY .......HE TALKED HIM DOWN FROM JUST $25k???!!!!!
There are lots of those cars in US which are owned by people who doesn't care or even ride it.
Here we drive cars, not ride them. Lol!
And said he was helping him 😳
Yeah, that was real sad. Poor old guy having to choose between his beloved car or a roof over his head. And Danny right there to "put the screws to him" while he was hurting for money. I know it wasn't a gun to his head but I felt so bad for him. Shoulda paid him a bit more for it. I thought $25,000 was a more than fair price for how little that vette actually needed.
@@Ark-uu8ji this isn’t a charity, he sold the car for what it was worth. Plus all these peoples get some $$ for showing on the camera.
A Maroon 66 convertible 4 speed vette is what I look for everyday!
that truck is beautiful
I would never sell my car to someone like Danny. I would sell it to a proper Corvette restoration specialist. He's not going to modify it or turn it into an ugly custom. This car deserves a whole lot better.
Yeah every Corvette person that I've ever known once the car to be original not modified or changed so I agree with you on the vet
Agree...I don't have the stomach to continue watching this...screwedover the old guy and the screwed the car itself...
I wouldn't be surprised if this show is about as real as pawn stars, or any other "reality" show...
You are correct! The show's fake!
Great job Danny! You are a true gentleman! Helping the gentleman to save his house! And then made the vet a more of a beauty! My hat off to you!
Best wishes for Ricky and his home. ⭐
Brilliant Danny am from England 🏴 love Carrie s so many miles
I love those L88 headlights
One of my absolute favorite years for Corvette.
Headlights killed it
i love the way danny speaks.
Those wing windows were great for bringing air in but they were also great for sucking cigarette smoke out!
1:51 now THAT is a number... 420!
So did anyone else get rock hard when he drove that outta the garage... lol beautiful
man you should’ve gave him 50k for that and to help him. I would’ve if I had the money on G.
The car was cheap at $25,000 I thought he was going give more then asking
me too. WTF Danny is a crook my God.
Old classic cars are valuable but no more valuable than a new truck if damaged. That 66 sting ray can probably go for 40ish grand after they were done with it. We have a 1980 stingray Corvette and its valued at only around 30 grand with no damage
Same here. When he said he wants to help the old man, I thought he might offer 30k. The car with rework is worth 60k+
@@wrightvcx2249 mind blowing what he offered him. I pay 70 grand restored for that car done perfect.
@@christiangarza449 The 1980 Corvette isn't worth $30k lol.
He says he has a chance to help him. I thought he was going to give him 30k. No, lowballs him at 18k. Nice guy.
RIGHT?
I at least thought he was gonna be like okay 25 you got a deal
"I CaN HeLp HiM oUt 🥴"
You fly an American flag but you think like a socialist.
@@ebenclukey7293 a Polock socialist.
I figured he would have gave him extra knowing the guys story. Starts off low balling him? Like cmon
He's been hanging out with lowball Rick from Pawn Stars too much, lol. I figured he'd lowball him. I didn't think he'd have the audacity to call it "help a guy out of a jam" though.
Headlights Blow!
Deleting the flip headlights is a sacrilege! 👎😎🏴☠️
it’s great and all but the new headlights are ugly 🤢especially with how clear they are. looks like chunks are missing from the bumper
25K, a steal and Danny knows it.
so stupid, these can go for $40 up in that condition right?
The car looks good but the front end looks bad they should have kept it original
I wanted to see the chrome bumpers in the front.
He got robbed it was original
I agree
Favorite Corvette type
Most beautiful GTO I have ever seen superb work
Love it, less is more, subtle touches making it beautiful and unique
much better the original color and the original headlight
Ok, so there is the mention of the wing windows! Finally. Thanks Danny.
Never trust a man that doesn't remove his sunglasses to meet another man especially when negotiating.
sounds like u got a good rip off story lets hear it
What if they are just trying to protect their eyes from UV damage?
Hey cool to see Picnic blanket head is back at it again
They ruined it with the clear headlight covers and bumper removal....Sigh
Mulder S. I totally agree, those tattooed goons should've left the car as it was from the factory.
I kinda like it the front end was busted up anyway.... pop up headlites problematic any way
Yeah looks weird with those lights
Awful. Aesthetic changes are stupid on perfect cars.
To be fair though they aren't a restoration shop it's a custom car shop.
Indeed. Thanks for posting and sharing. Count😇💛😎🤲🙏🙌🤗🌍🤍❤️🕊️✌️
my dream car
J E T S....JETS JETS JETS
Great job Danny this 66 Corvette now looks meaner than before no bumper looks great new headlights, new side pipes and a new 383 stroker engine.
"Ricky Toyota" hahaha i love the old guy
Danny, been to your shop 2x, love the cars you have on display. If in Vegas, it's a must-see place!!!
I agree it's a great place to visit
One of the best cars to ever leave count customs, its clean man, my style.
lukas Van Der Westhuizen, most end up looking hideous and stupid
I love his Ford.
I have seen that car and I liked it it sounded great a rode like a dream
A work of art man,so beautiful in every way,if i win the lotto,correction, when i win im over to the count for something similar,awesome,simply
How is a rich guy going to low ball a guy loosing his house while on rich guys tv show.
How do you think people become rich
It's called capitalism and it's the fairest system known to man.
He is a business man that’s all
Old head lights looked so much better
He helped this man.
Huge welldone.
And a excellent car.
Respect. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻
I own one impala 1980 and love it
When he said I love this car I cannot imagine people calling me Ricky Toyota.
Cracked me up and broke my heart at the same time.
Awesome indeed 🙏😇😎🙂💛🤍✌️❤️🌍☮️😎
I hope the seller gets to see this car now! That car is spectacular!
Awesome truck
Oh my god. What a gorgeous looking car
My favourite show on History channel
Those ankle warmers are sick
Tq Danny for helping him. I know you won't read this but thank u so much..
That was a win-win situation for both of them great video I love it
Wish they kept the pop up headlights
That's one cool Vette ! Greg is a real guy and disserves much respect . What I would like to see is some 33's go through Danny on You Tube !
25k is a steal! Sorry, don't care for the new headlights
put the bumper and headlights back on the way they were. lose the sidepipes
I like the sidepipes
