All language subtitles for Counting Cars 01E02 Buggin` Out

On this episode of Counting Cars, we
double down on a killer custom hot rod.

do you keep this twin engine car in the
road? Can't believe it.

My detailer rolling lifts loose in the
shop.

Paulie, what are you doing? Good thing I
cannot bust the window in it. Go to my

office and get ready for a piss test.

Good morning, Mike, and I tear up the
streets of Vegas in a vintage dune

Get out of here before the cops come.

Vegas is a gambling town.

Most people bet with chips.

I bet with rides.

Look at this. And I always go all in.
Wow. What would you take for this?

I'm Danny, a .k .a. The Count. And this
is my all -star team.

We find them, fix them, flip them.

Sometimes I keep them. I can't help
myself.

For my crew, every job's high stakes.
And we can't afford to lose.

This is Counting Cars.

How's it

going?

Good afternoon.

Nice ride.

Thank you very much, sir. What year is
it? It's a 31.

Nice. What's going on? We need to make
this nicer.

Certainly, we can help with that.

Let me go get Danny. Perfect.

I'm Roli. I'm from Hungary.

I'm the detailer here at Kant Customs. I
just can't stand when a car is dirty. I

just clean everything.

Then I got a customer who likes to talk
to me. He has a 31 hot rod.

A dirty? A dirty one. A dirty one. 31.
Yeah.

1931 hot rod. Okay. Red with the flames.

It looks cool, but he wanted it to look
cooler and noisier and better. With the

what? Noise. Noise.

Roley's got that language barrier. So he
comes in, tries to tell you something,

and you're like, I need that two or
three times.

It wouldn't be a day without messing
with my eggs then.

I thought it was coming out to look at a
dirty one something. I didn't know who

was dirty and who was the one. I'm not
sure.

Anthony, this is Danny.

Pleasure. Check you out. That's sweet. I
love it.

The windshield is... In my opinion, it's
one of the prettiest things on the car.

It's an old Deval windshield is what
they call it, where it's split like that

and laid back in an angle. It's a
gorgeous windshield.

Thanks. It's the definition of a hot
rod, man. Hot rods from the early 30s is

really where they're at. And this car
falls right in the middle of it, man. So

how rare these cars are.

Well, I tell you, you know,
interestingly enough, this was an

car. They were extremely inexpensive.

Wow. And a ton of them were built. You
could buy one of these for about $385.

The irony of the whole thing is now,
this many years later, these cars are

expensive and are very sought after.

Ford found a great way to mass produce
these cars. They were the pioneers in

assembly line, and from 1927 to 1931,
they sold about 4 .5 million of these

Model As.

Do you have a vision for it yourself? I
mean, what do you want to see?

The 31 Ford is in dire straits of some
TLC and some love. It's been sitting for

a long time, and the flames are getting
a little old. I got you.

One little thing that bothers me. What's
that? I know you love the Deval

windshield. Yes.

But my height, the way I sit here,
that's right where my eyes sit. Right

It's so annoying. It's right in your
line of sight. Right in my line of

Just nonstop doing this other thing.

That's no fun. No. You should put the
pillow on the seats or something.

We like to joke around.

This Duval windshield has got to be one
of my favorite parts of this 31. I think

they're just beautiful.

And we've got to figure out how we're
going to make this work because I don't

want to lose that windshield, but I also
agree with Anthony. Driving around and

not being able to see, that's a bad
thing.

Brother, I love it. Now, the scary thing
is the budget, $15 ,000.

Okay. We would love to do this, wouldn't
we?

I can't stand dirty.

I think this is Scott's house right here
on the left. That looks like Amityville

Horror. Well, I can imagine living with
Scott would be like Amityville Horror.

Spooky. Uh -huh. Today, Kevin and I are
out cruising one of my favorite

neighborhoods. This place is a goldmine.
Every time I come out here, I always

find something cool, and I rarely ever
leave empty -handed.

That's something up here on the right.
Yeah.

Is it Old Fort? The Galaxy?

No.

Hey,

brother.

Beautiful. I like it. Hey, we're car
guys. Do you mind if we talk to you

it? Is that all right?

Okay. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Danny and I have been doing this for 10
years. I've never seen anything like

this Model T. I am totally blown away.

Dude, this is insane.

Oh, my gosh.

About two years ago, I just came up with
the idea to put two motors in a hot

rod. It's probably the only one of its
kind in the world, as far as I know.

yet to see another one like it. It
actually runs on both engines at the

time, and I know a number of other
people have tried it, and it hasn't

exactly been successful.

And I think that in itself is somewhat
of an engineering feat.

That's unbelievable. How do you keep
this thing on the road?

Well, carefully.

I've seen some twin -engine cars before,
and it seems to me the biggest problem

that guys have had trying to make them
work is having them work together,

connecting them without the two engines
destroying each other. How do you keep

them synced up together and happy?

It's got massive steel cogs and custom
-built sprockets and a carbon

fiber belt that's virtually
indestructible. I kind of engineered it

all together.

Bingo, it works. That's pretty amazing.
That's impressive, man. You can put this

all together like this.

Danny, will you buy this for me?

I cannot believe how much customizing
and modifications that Gordon did. I

wouldn't even begin to know what
something like this is worth. If

I have to have this, what kind of number
would you put on this?

You'd have to really, really twist my
arm to even get me to think of a good

number. Somebody came with $100 ,000. I
don't think so. $100 ,500.

No. Yeah.

I'm one of these guys that doesn't sell.
He just keeps buying.

Brother, you and I need to talk. I think
this guy Gordon and I have a lot in

common. You know, one car is never
enough type of thing.

What else have you got? What have you
got at home?

Well, I got everything from hot rods and
muscle cars all the way up to

Lamborghinis. Well, we separated at
first.

You got anything for sale?

We might be able to find you something.
Do you mind bringing a couple of

lunatics to your house so we can see
yourself?

Seriously? Sweet.

Can I ride with you? Let's do it. You
bet.

Kevin, would you mind grabbing the
truck, man? I will.

Thanks, man.

I never get to go for a ride anyway.
That's true, man.

But I always tell you how much fun it
is, don't I? Yep.

When I get the feeling with this guy, I
think I've hit the jackpot.

Me and my new buddy Gordon, we're
cruising back over to his house to see

got anything over there I might be able
to work a deal on.

What else you got hiding back here?

Oh, all kinds of little goodies.

Old Challenger here?

Yep, 73 Dodge Challenger. As you can
see, it's seen better days.

Yep. Now, there's one you might better
twist my arm on.

Oh, what you got hiding over here?

56 Bird, right? Yes, sir. Man.

It's an original color. Original color,
but the green and the white interior.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen one
like this. Yeah, according to the T

registry office, this is probably the
only one ever made.

Unbelievable.

Gordon's got some really cool and some
extremely rare cars in his collection.

There's no way I'm leaving this place
empty -handed.

79 Z28.

Is this one for sale?

Nope.

Here we go.

1957 Chevy.

Forget about it, guys. Ain't for sale.

Oh, dude.

69 Corvette Stingray.

Good Lord.

This is one of my favorite cars in the
world. Tell me about her.

Well, it's a factory four -speed.

Love it.

Probably just about every option that
came out in the time.

Gordon, how about letting me haul this
out of here? I'll give you $15 ,000 in

cash.

Man, you're going to have to dig a
little deeper on that, you know.

It's going to take triple that. Really?

I think he invited us over here to just
make me feel bad.

Gordon's collection is sweet.

Unfortunately for me, he knows what
they're all worth.

If I can't get it cheap, then I'm not
going to make any money here. There is

thing out here that has been catching my
eye we haven't talked about yet. Is

that a really old Myers -Manks?

Absolutely. Yeah, the dune buggy, yeah.

I could get seriously interested in
talking to you about that one.

Dune buggy craze was huge in the 70s,
and Meyers, man, Meyers had the corner

the market because they had the cool
body. I mean, this is basically a

Volkswagen is what this is. It's an old
Volkswagen pan with the engine and

transmission and suspension and
everything off a VW bug.

They would throw away the bodies, and
they would refit them with this.

You didn't even see the best part. Look
at this.

The key with a rabbit foot.

That's 70s. That's absolutely, man. Here
in Vegas, dune buggies are huge.

They were made to run in the sand, and
we got plenty of that here.

Well, I don't know if I can score this
thing for the right price and bring it

back to that proper 75.

I should be able to make some good money
on this buggy. You've turned me down so

many times, I'm gun -shy right now.

Well, pop a number up. Would you take $3
,000 cash?

Gonna have to double it.

How about meeting me halfway at 45?

You know, I kind of had a funny feeling
you were going to come back with that

number.

I was thinking more like 55.

You know what, man?

Just because I'm scared to talk anymore
about this, I will buy this right now,

$5 ,500 cash, if you'll grab the title.

You got a deal. I love it. I love it.

Man, I haven't worked this hard since I
don't know when.

Walking out of here today with a dune
buggy was the last thing I expected. But

really think I scored today. I think
with a little bit of TLC, this thing

easily be worth up to $15 ,000.

And frankly, I can't wait to test it
out.

Roland, do me a favor. Hop in here for a
second, and I'll show you something.

And just sit in it normal.

You see how this is in your way when
you're looking down the road?

Absolutely.

With Anthony Cool's 31 Coupe, we have a
little bit of a challenge. His eyes are

hitting the top of the windshield when
he's driving.

So within his budget of $15 ,000, we
need to figure out how to make sure he's

looking through the windshield and not
over it.

What are you doing?

Roley, what are you doing?

I imagine cool myself in this car. How
would you sit?

Good thing I cannot bust a window in it.

Go to my office and get ready for a piss
test.

Roley, you've got to settle down a
little bit.

But you know what's interesting about
him trying to feel cool in this car?

What's he doing? He's getting down in
it. So if we change this seat and drop

down, that'll fix the windshield
situation, the steering wheel position

situation. The simple thing to do is we
got to lower the seat in this car, you

guys. And plus, we got a couple little
issues up front, too, you know, where

fender got hit.

So we've got to repair all that. When
this car leaves, it's got our name on

man. So it's got to be cool, man. I'm
going to let you guys wrestle this one

out. Let's go. I'm on it. I'm on it.

Cool,

man. So earlier, Danny picked up this
Myers dune buggy. Pretty sweet little

So we decided to take it out on the road
for a little test drive, get some dirt

in the tires.

I don't see us doing much off -roading.

Well, there's a little we can do.

Let's do it again.

Yeah,

man.

This is just fun, man.

Got me a mouthful.

out here before the cops go.

Little dune buggies like this, they are
a blast to drive. It's time to get back

to the shop, tear this thing down, start
making it wicked.

out of here.

I was wondering what you out here think
this is a drive -thru. I'd jump out to

say hi, but I can't get out of it.

Don't get out because you're taking it
back. No way, man. We got some money

right here, baby.

How much did you pay for this?

Danny's got a beautiful wife at home,
but here at the shop, he has an ugly fat

wife. Her name is God.

Why are your glasses dirty?

What the hell are you two been doing?

We had to test it.

He's got the man to here.

He did it again. You got it here.
Absolutely. I love it. He knows about

dune buggy is way cool, and the fact
that it's street legal, that just makes

twice as much fun. I'm going to put a
very authentic 70s -style paint job on

this car, take it back to that retro
vibe it should be, and I'm going to turn

this $5 ,500 investment into a $10 ,000
profit.

It's a moneymaker, Scott. This is.
What'd you spend?

I think $2 ,500.

You're both lying.

I'm going to look at the computer.

I'm going to look at all three of
your...

$27 .50.

What did you do, tell them off the door?
How's the computer going, buddy?

I'm going to go in the other way and
pull up your app.

Kevin, especially you.

I'm telling you right now.

Morning Mike and I came up with a great
plan for the Manx dune buggy that I

picked up.

We've already tweaked the engine, and
they're putting the finishing touches on

the new paint job right now.

How's it going, Ryan?

I got a surprise for you. Yeah? I'm
doing some lace.

No lace.

We got a big girl's stockings last
night.

I'm Ryan. I do a lot of custom painting
around here. The other day, Danny came

to me with this 70s to 60s era theme
that he wanted me to go with.

Had to be a lace technique.

This is a dying art. You don't see this
very often, man.

In the 60s, if you didn't have lace, you
weren't anybody. Just take that home.

Right. Dude, look at this. It's a great
pattern, man. It's beautiful.

It does look cool. It does look real
cool.

Tell me you're stuck, Rod.

I think that's good.

I want to see under.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

You have to agree that's cool. No, you
just might have got a little cooler in

book. This is slick.

It's beautiful.

Ryan, nice job on that, man.

You rock.

We've been working on this 1931 Ford Hot
Rod for days.

We've repainted the entire car, got rid
of those horrible flames that were on

it, fixed all the body damage.

modify the seat, and it's finally
finished.

Now, Anthony just got here, and I cannot
wait to show him what we've done.

I think you're going to dig it, man. I
can't wait to. Rollie.

Bring this thing out, man.

Ah. Oh, man.

Look at that.

Damn.

You've done yourself, man. Holy crap.

All those flames gone.

Those cheesy cartoon flames are MIA.

When it first came out and the sun hit
it, the paint was just glowing off the

car. It was red before, but it just
didn't have that appeal before. Now it's

just sexy.

Love the interior.

Gorgeous. Glad you dig it. You know, we
added some of the stitching to match

with the outside of it, but not
overdone, not too much. It had that

the right front, all of that repaired,
cleaned up.

Do you remember what you wanted for your
car? You wanted it to be nicer.

Absolutely. So it is nicer, right? Very
much nicer.

You know how you were having the issue
of your line of sight? You were sitting

up so high. Yeah. You didn't like the
windshield.

Yeah. And to me, this Deval windshield,
man, it's like jewelry. It's just

beautiful. We polished it all up.
There's no way in the world I want to

of the Deval windshield, so I want to
get your butt closer to the ground. I'm

getting my butt closer to the ground.
Flip in there. Oh, I'm going to get my

butt closer.

Oh, wow.

Down in the car now.

Hey, windshield.

See, but that is much better, man,
because now when you look at the road,

looking through the windshield.

What a difference. Wow.

Now, the scary thing is the budget. I
said, you know, $15 ,000. Yep. How did

do? We did right on the money, man. For
you, we take care of business. She

stayed right in budget.

Beautiful. And, you know, there was some
other stuff. It wasn't just cosmetic.

We took care of a lot of wiring issues,
the fuel injection issues, some

suspension stuff.

All fit in the budget. The interior.

You're ready to rock, man.

Absolutely. You should be able to rock
and roll in this thing all the time,

Just get in it and go. That's why I
bring it to you. Thank you, bro. I

appreciate that.

Let's go take care of a little business
with Scott. All right. Works for me.

Well, when I brought the car in, it
needed some TLC.

We went from TLC to, you know, showroom
quality.

I'm going to go for a cruise down the
strip and enjoy that thing.

So, you know, a couple days ago, Danny
bought a Myers -Minks from a free car

collector. It's a cool little thing, but
I think he overspent. We're $5 ,500 in

purchase, $2 ,500 in poultry. I really
think this one's going to take a bath on

once again.

Hey, Danny, this is Shannon. She's going
to look at the dune buggy, brother.

So you're in the mood for a little open
-air dune buggy spot.

I love anything to do with off -roads,
so I want to check it out. Why don't we

go out front?

Great. Bring it right out. Great.

Roll it, brother. Bring that baby out
here, man.

Awesome. My God.

Now I know why I drive a van.

Check it out.

Everything we did with this was 100 %
authentic 70s. I just wanted to keep it

true to an era. This paint is all like
you see in the 70s, man. We even did

old lace paint in it. It's all old
school 70s, man. Totally justice. That's

awesome.

It's all really a unique car.

That motor looks great.

She runs great. She drives great. It's
just simple and clean and correct. If it

runs as good as it looks, man, it's
going to be pretty nice. Well, let's

for a drive.

All right. Sounds good to me. Scott,
we'll be back. Good luck. Be safe. When

first saw the Minx, obviously the way it
looked, the color green and then the

sparkles was just amazing.

You don't see them very often,
especially in that kind of condition. So

just awesome to see it.

It feels comfy. It feels really good.
Let's go check this out.

I love it.

That ship's great.

Pretty tight, man. Everything works
really good on her.

Stiff as can be, man.

Part of it. You feel everything about
it, you know?

So you're an off -road guy. Oh, off
-road coach.

I've raced off -road for a lot of years,
and my off -road car is strictly

desert. So to have something that's off
-road that I can drive on the street,

it's going to be a lot of fun.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's great. I'm glad you like it.
It's really nice. I love this little

car. Yeah, it's really cool.

You don't see a lot of them.

How was that? It was great. It was
great. Thank you, man. It's fun, isn't

Hey, how'd you like it? I love it.

Let's talk some numbers and let's get
this done.

Well, before you say a number, let's see
how good of a test drive it really was.

What are you thinking, Shannon? I would
like to stick around 18.

I will stop.

Let's go 20.

Let's go 20. We got a clean title, the
whole thing. She's ready to go. Well, 18

is what I was wanting to spend, but as
nice as it is.

20's the deal.

Shannon, you rock, brother. Thank you
for having me.

I'm happy. I really am. We just sold the
Doom Buggy to make 12 G's.

Nice profit. Really was.

Let's go do some paperwork. No, it's a
great day for us. I thought it was just

toy. Danny knew it was something
special.

Nine times out of ten, I'm 100 % right.

But he'll use this one to stick me every
time he does something to say, look, I

was right on this one.
