Counting Cars: Dream Charger
Overview
Season premiere. Danny decides to sell some of his most beloved cars, but the Count does not have a great track record when it comes to parting with his “babies,” so the guys in the shop are understandably skeptical. Meanwhile, a customer asks Danny to find and build the first car he ever had, a 1968 Dodge Charger; and Ryan and Shannon are tasked with re-creating one of the most iconic motorcycles of all time—the “Captain America” chopper from the film “Easy Rider.”
