Danny Koker – 1973 Buick Riviera

The 1973 Buick Riviera restored in the Count’s Kustoms garage stands out as one of the most notorious projects, but not necessarily for the right reasons. The paint job on this car goes far beyond extravagant, bordering on garish. Despite the car’s elaborate appearance, the longer you gaze at it, the more flaws and outlandish details you notice (via Hot Cars).

From the roof to the tires and wheels, the excessive efforts to achieve perfection have resulted in a car that appears more like an overindulgent art project than a well-executed car restoration.

Danny Koker – 1974 Roadrunner

Despite its lightweight design and supposed power, the 1974 Roadrunner has never managed to shake off its reputation as an unattractive and uninspiring vehicle. Over the years, this car has failed to maintain the sought-after status it once enjoyed. As a budget-friendly muscle car, the Roadrunner may have attracted some loyal followers (via Hot Cars).

Koker’s attempts to put a signature touch on this project at the Count’s Kustoms shop haven’t managed to salvage the Roadrunner’s unfortunate distinction as an ugly and unimpressive vehicle.
