I remember when I took the tour of Graceland and someone asked the guide "Where are all Elvis' Cadillacs?" To which the guide answered, "Elvis drove a Stutz and a Ferrari, he gave away Cadillacs." I'll never forget that...
DANNY - I have owned 2 Pontiac Grand Prix's = a 1973 SJ 455 T-top (original design model with the full-length grille ) and a 1975 SJ 455 ( the last single 5/34 headlight model before they went dual square lights ) The 1973 was black with a red interior / The 1975 was white with a white interior. but pinstriped in red, giving it a nice accent. My cars were all original - and I kept them highly detailed [ before detailing was even a thing ] Each one was about 2 years old when I bought them. The 1973 Grand Prix I just drove and maintained. Both cars were immaculate and well taken care of by me. The only things that I did were a deeper rumbling free-flowing all stainless exhaust on the 75, and put air shocks under it to alter the ride height to a tad lower, and added real wood veneers on the dash, console and doors, red illumination to the gauges, and red double stitching and piping on the seats that were reupholstered with white real Italian leather as used by Baker Furniture co. (My father was employed there ) I ordered a custom made red wool carpeting for it too - replacing the black carpeting. The trunk had red carpeting too. The headlamps were European spec 55/65 quartz halogen from Carello - and I put a specially modified Olds dual-snorkel air filter on the engine. The wheel rims were Pontiacs pressed mag style painted the same white as the car - with highly buffed stainless beauty rings, chrome center caps, and chromed lug nuts. It had Uniroyal Tiger Paw whitewall tires. The end result was a really attention-getting 1975 Pontiac 445 SJ that turned heads and drew people to look it over and compliment it. Everyone raved over the interior and I never told them it was customized. I told them it was that way when I bought it. Oh, I almost forgot - and one last thing - I had a cousin that worked at Michigan Bumper and Plating - he was able to get the Air Filter, Rocker Covers, Valley cover, Brackets, Fan, and pulleys, Oil Pan, Dipstick all plated for free. That totally beautified the engine area and looked marvelous against the GM blue engine paint. I spent months detailing under the hood and repainting many things that were black to a nice rich silver metallic heat resistant enamel. MY PONTIAC WAS NOT A HOT ROD - IT WAS A MIDLY MODIFIED 445 CU IN POWERED ROAD ROCKET, LOWRIDING CRUISER,. LAKE MICHIGAN BEACH STAR. I OWNED HER FOR 13 YEARS AND SOLD HER TO A MAN DOWN THE STREET WHO TOLD ME HE ALWAYS ENVIED IT AND WANTED IT. [The moron blew the rear differential and messed up the transmission by doing burnouts and doughnuts with it.] Love the look of your Stutz Blackhawk. Peace
I live about 15 minutes from the stutz building in Indianapolis and have got to work in it. In the basement there's a black hawk as well as some other studs cars and through different floors there's various cars. A great place to work in sight see you at the same time.
Hadn't realized these were a Pontiac ,Beneath all of that Flavor ! That long wheel base was a great comfortable smooth ride ! Made my Day ! Thanks Danny
Great history on this car. Thank you for educating us on it as we were little when this all took place ... and now it makes sense on why the gold trim is part of your style and emblems on your creations ... love it... ❤
Mr. Danny love The show about The love on cars and about The apple on that door pick up was out. . Your skill perfect about The apple. Choice is perfect.
I remember your show found and restored Barry White's stutz blackhawk for his widow, Glodean. You did a really good job with that. I always loved the car (had a couple of hotwheels stutz as a kid). The stutz always been a beautiful car.
jay kay Season One, "Searching For Soul." If the woman who had the car had more respect for who owned it, she would have demanded a lot more money than what she got for it. If I had it, I would have wanted $10,000, not the $7500 she eventually took for it.
Great video Danny! You might be the man to bring the Stutz back! With all the other auto manufacturers giving up on sedans, you can fill the void! Let us help you crowd-source this project.
Not my style personally, but I am happy for you Danny! Glad you found her and made her your own. Gotta get the getting while the getting is good brother!
Congrats!!! Always lusted after these. Just the outer skin is handcrafted. Most inner body stampings (body structure) is Grand Prix as well....but those taillights lol...'73 Malibu wagon, are they not? Yes the car biz is full of snakes. Obviously you're not one of them. Thanks for the fun video! Anyone remember the '73-ish Monte Carlos with a Rolls type grill? Was like a poor man's Stutz but still kinda slick.
Oh Yes I LOVE the Stutz Blackhawk. you can see all of the detail that went into the design of the car. Love how Ryan put the Gold leaf on it because of all the Gold plating on the inside. I seen the episode when you found and restored Berry Whites. it was great. Now that i know you drive it sometimes in Vegas If i ever go there again i will be looking for that Beautiful Stutz. I'm a huge Elvis fan as well. I would love to know more about the 56 FORD P/up you drive on the show when you don't drive the Chevy. I would like to have it or a 56 panel. Have a GREAT day Danny and everyone at Counts Kustoms
Danny you are the man, living that amazing life we all wish to have some part of. Yes you sharing is giving back to us regular folks that you make laugh and cry cus charector and heart is what you bring to us. Born in 1960 I to love the mid to late 70's everything about those days no other generation had ad much fun ad the kids who grew up then. We aren't the greatest generation compared for other reasons that went before ours. But for sure had the most fun the best music the best of what it means to be American, we got charector and heart with lots of respect and love to go along with the blessing we have to show for those years. Clubs dancing etc.. the movies all of it was purs to behold We are the blessed generation seriously, now like fine wine...
I know where one is sitting in arkansas. Sadly it's way to far gone for anybody but a millionaire to do anything with. It was a rust bucket in the late 80s when the guy got it. Ripped the drivetrain out for his drag car.
Holy crap you're so right about that. '71s had a much cleaner overall look somehow I think. Gotta look at some pix. Remember the '73-ish Monte Carlo with a Rolls type grill someone produced in limited numbers? A poor man's Stutz, but still sort of slick.
Luxury ride! Trying to remember when Robert Goulet was headlining on the strip, if I ever saw Bob Goulet? Dashing crooner, from those days. Would also appear on Johnny Carson over the years. Heck, probably find him in old Laugh-In episodes?
You no what count I have a friend that calls u a chooch cuz some of appraisal you have done on pawn stars but I always had your back and said thats a solid dude right there and the way u preserve these old classic is wonderfully and I cant get enough the king either if I ever a blackhawk I gonna have u slap some goldleaf with a tcb on mine also
Hey Danny! Love the Stutz! I owned a ‘75 myself for a time about 20 years ago out in Atlantic City when I was working for Legends In Concert @ Bally’s Park Place. Just wanted to give you a heads up. The last car Elvis ever drove the night before he passed away, coming back from the dentist at 12:28 am, was a 1973 Stutz Blackhawk with Black exterior paint job, red leather interior with the gold plated interior trim and a gold plated key. Love your white Stutz! I think it looks cleaner & cooler in white with gold accents. I had a silver one with the gold plated accents on the interior. Mine was originally a two-tone (Silver & Black) but the owner before me did a repaint of all silver. Love The King too! Saw him in concert in Tampa back in ‘76. Love your show! ⚡️TCB⚡️ This is my girlfriends CZcams account as I’m on her iPad. So I’m a dude not a chick! 😆
The kount looks a little high and tbh I hope he is getting some of that recreational out there in vegas. This mans earned the right to get high and enjoy the fruits of labor and drive those cars like he he stole em
@@TunTavernWarrior2 I don't use marijuana personally but some of the smartest most motivated and hardest working people I know do so maybe it only effects people who are mediocre to begin with.
Very nice, well done Count! I saw Evil (Robert) Knievels Stutz in 1977 or 78. He was with his wife. Had the chance to really look at the car inside and out. It was amazing for the era. Helped him get the golf clubs out of the mink lined trunk.
The last production car designed by Virgil M. Exner Sr. (1909-1973) built on a 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix chassis, body and drive train. Exner designed the excellent 1966 Duesenberg prototype now owned by Joe Bortz. There is a family similarity to this design.
It's funny that GM's Pontiac designers under Jack Humbert and John DeLorean's 1970 Pontiac Bonneville copied Exner's 1966 Duesenberg front end design, and this car resembles that too.
I remember seeing Elvis’ white Stutz in August 1975, outside one of the big LA casinos (where he was performing). It was in front of Fats Domino’s stretched Mercedes limo (wine metallic paintwork from memory). On the the Stutz fascia by the dials, was a silver plate with ‘Mr. Elvis Presley’. Only Stutz that I have ever seen. We don’t see them in New Zealand - beautiful car !
As a kid I saw the first Stutz Blackhawk introduced and displayed at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. It was the actual prototype owned at the time by original Stutz president James O' Donnell and presented by the car's designer Virgil Exner. Contrary to what most people think, Frank Sinatra NEVER owned a Stutz. He was, however, the first person interested in purchasing the first production model available from Jules Meyers Pontiac (the first and only Stutz dealership in the USA at the time) back around 1970 or '71. Sinatra was unwilling to wait for to take delivery of that first Blackhawk but Elvis Presley was, so it was eventually sold to Elvis who agreed to let Jules Meyers showcase his Stutz (the only production model available in the USA at the time except for the original prototype) at a local California car show - something Sinatra was reluctant to do. Sinatra's buddies though, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin, both owned numerous Stutz automobiles but not Frank Sinatra. Stutz treasurer and later company president Rich Corotto told me that story at the NY Auto Show back in 1975.
I remember when I took the tour of Graceland and someone asked the guide "Where are all Elvis' Cadillacs?" To which the guide answered, "Elvis drove a Stutz and a Ferrari, he gave away Cadillacs." I'll never forget that...
Velvet Woods he lived in his stutz, im completely surprised he didn’t pass away in it .
He actually went and bought 5 more Stutz Blackhawks 💯
I was 9 or 10 when I first saw the Stuz at the LA auto show and thought it was the coolest car there. And still do
The very last picture of Elvis alive, couple hours before his death, he was driving his Stutz through the gates of Graceland.

Love the look of your Stutz Blackhawk. Peace
That's my favourite car in your collection Danny. Easily the coolest, and you've got a lot of neat cars.
The quintessential player/pimp ride🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Rider Made my 73 fury hides the wipers. Sometimes its the little things lol
I Love these stutzes its a beautiful luxury masterpiece.
Thank you Danny for sharing that Stutz with us. I remember having the hot wheels Stutz in grey. So cool!

Keep on rolling these video's my friend!
I've never heard of this car... And I can't believe I missed out this whole time. That's the coolest luxury car I've ever seen!!
I live about 15 minutes from the stutz building in Indianapolis and have got to work in it. In the basement there's a black hawk as well as some other studs cars and through different floors there's various cars. A great place to work in sight see you at the same time.
This is the kind of content I like watching. Give us more unique imports!
Wow this car is epic and the epitome of 70's luxury!
Hadn't realized these were a Pontiac ,Beneath all of that Flavor ! That long wheel base was a great comfortable smooth ride ! Made my Day ! Thanks Danny

First time I ever saw a stutz was at Graceland. I never knew about them before that and they have been a favorite of mine ever since
Nice ride homie!
Love that car your touches are so classy. By far the coolest blackhawk ever
Great video Danny! You might be the man to bring the Stutz back! With all the other auto manufacturers giving up on sedans, you can fill the void! Let us help you crowd-source this project.
Don't forget the name Virgil exner when you talk about beautiful looking cars
Not my style personally, but I am happy for you Danny! Glad you found her and made her your own. Gotta get the getting while the getting is good brother!
Very cool car. Awesome show
I remember back in the late 90s when I had a big cam and port and polished heads LT1 94 z28. My friend had a 455 in a Regal that was a monster
My dad almost bought one of those about 20 years ago and since that day I have been a huge fan of the Stutz, such a cool car.
Loved the show and love the channel, keep up the great work. 👍👌
Woooohooooo that's my man.......what a car.......i love it......
It does have a Pontiac look to it the front end reminds me a bit of the grand prix
That is a true WORK OF ART
That Stutz is a sexy classic
Beautiful car, stunning. I bought one today... well, a 1979 Hot Wheels version, LOL
This is why i love these finer details videos. Learned so much
This car screams cool! I love the side profile... Snoop Dogg should take notice

Hey Count that car reminds that episode of Barry White's car.
I was wondering if this was Barry White's car.
Beautiful!
Love the Stutz my all time favourite American car, beautiful. Good wishes my friend I also loved the 70’s.
Awesome I would love to see the finer details of all your vehicles
the 71 was the best looking. The 71 had a split front windshield. A very good looking item on that car!!!
I know where one is sitting in arkansas. Sadly it's way to far gone for anybody but a millionaire to do anything with. It was a rust bucket in the late 80s when the guy got it. Ripped the drivetrain out for his drag car.

I'm watching Danny's video and counting cars is also on the TV right now . 👍
Really digging that Suburban, the white one next to the Stutz. I really enjoyed that style of Suburban. I love the 1973-1991 Suburbans.

Great job 👍

Looks absolutely baked🌬 good for him🤙
Could it be that he’s tired because he works his ass off? Why celebrate a drug that produces mediocrity?

Pimp daddy or pimp Danny? Keep’m coming, this is awesome 😎!
