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...
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... ❤
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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!
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...
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 UA-cam account as I’m on her iPad. So I’m a dude not a chick! 😆
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?
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.
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.
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 !
Hey Danny are you coming back to New England and the BIG E fair this fall we would love to see you again!!! And I was wondering what you think about foxbody mustangs and if you have ever done one and if not I’d love for you to do mine.
Awesome video great car love the looks of the car how long have you been doing this sort of work on cars and went did you start collecting cars and what your dream car
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
That's my favourite car in your collection Danny. Easily the coolest, and you've got a lot of neat cars.
It's a very beautiful car! Awesome,! Also nice to hear to you are an Elvis fan!
Keep on rolling these video's my friend!
Thank you Danny for sharing that Stutz with us. I remember having the hot wheels Stutz in grey. So cool!
I Love these stutzes its a beautiful luxury masterpiece.
The quintessential player/pimp ride🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
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.
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!!
This is the kind of content I like watching. Give us more unique imports!
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
When style is important. You can’t see the wipers. Beautiful
Rider Made my 73 fury hides the wipers. Sometimes its the little things lol
The very last picture of Elvis alive, couple hours before his death, he was driving his Stutz through the gates of Graceland.
The Stutz was top of the line.
Wow this car is epic and the epitome of 70's luxury!
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... ❤
Thanks for the video. The car is gorgeous. Love the gold leaf makes the car pop!!
I’ve always loved these too.
Yours is exceptional Count!
Hard work pays off god bless bro
Danny you are one of the best

Hey Count that car reminds that episode of Barry White's car.
I was wondering if this was Barry White's car.
Woooohooooo that's my man.......what a car.......i love it......
Enjoy it Danny, too cool. In the fall I'm coming to Vegas with my 70 road runner ,want you to chase me down to buy it .
Don't forget the name Virgil exner when you talk about beautiful looking cars
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?
Beautiful!
I'd love to see a review like this for all 100 or so of your vehicles
Really digging that Suburban, the white one next to the Stutz. I really enjoyed that style of Suburban. I love the 1973-1991 Suburbans.
Pimp daddy or pimp Danny? Keep’m coming, this is awesome 😎!
nice job Danny
I'm watching Danny's video and counting cars is also on the TV right now . 👍
I too love that TRIM. Doesn't have to be gold but up keep is a Must.
Great job 👍
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.

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.
All I can say is what a great life
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
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?
@@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.
TunTavernWarrior2 by the statement you have never done your own research on marijuana
I guess no one can read here lol
I love the styling of that car.
I remember you restoring Barry Whites for his wife
Love that suburban! The Stutz is featured in the movie Never Die Alone, first time I ever saw one.
Been to alot of car shows that's hard car to come across dan you did it sweet
my favorite of that one course set up with the 455 4-barrel
Danny you seem like a great boss man
