He's one of the best things about the pawn stars show and great to see his passion for cars is still strong

[@irishelk3]

What a guy, love the old man.

[@killaskrilla5320]

Very classy old man. Respect

[@crowneproductions9908]

Interesting how Richard Harris has such a full head of hair at 73 but his son (Rick) is completely bald.

[@FrozenSurf]

Baldness comes from the mother side that's why.

[@crowneproductions9908]

Yep ^

[@tammybrown8033]

*family gens*

[@truthbydesign5146]

@@FrozenSurf I was screwed two ways from Sunday on that count. Fathers side and moms side were both bald, so I had no chance.

[@btristin01]

“Rick laughed at your comment” 😂 he laughs at everything

[@Luv11518]

Poor guy. Just seen him at the sunrise hospital he was going in for heart surgery. Docs said he did great tho.

[@alonzotanner1226]

Wow, do you work there? I'm not surprised though he never took care of himself. lol

[@larryhinze9314]

Not great enough.

[@douglaswarren2812]

I love the "old man" Yes he's old but wise. That place didn't just pop up out of the desert. Pisses me off the way those other punks on that show don't show him any respect. Rock on old man Harrison you are the brains of that operation Don't ever let them tell you otherwise.

[@JosephTarzia]

GOD Bless Richard Harrison I been watching Pawn Stars ever since the begining mI love his cars and the show .Would love to meet him and the rest of the bunch 1 day. I have 3 old cars my self 1 is for sale a 65 Chryssler300 I allso have a 64 Lincoln Continental and 79 Montecarlo Hot Rod ! of these days I am going to drive cross country with 1 of them and go to Vegas and stop by the pawn shop and say hello/...

[@tussinneilson]

He's right, all the new cars look the same, and the average guy cannot work on them like the old cars before computers.

[@Clydeslope]

Love to hear more about his Imperials.

[@geraldorford]

words to live by; good interview.

[@cisnerosmichael6006]

Rip

[@iansmith2047]

R.I.P. Richard "Old Man" Harrison.

[@starxlr7863]

I would love to hear more about his Chrysler Imperials and Cadillac's!!!! SOunds like he prefers the Imperial's and Cadillac's over the Lincoln's, not sure. Those are my three favorite cars myself.

[@terrybardy7294]

If He did go for heart surgery, that would explain why I haven't seen him on Pawn Stars lately. I hope he's okay.

[@kesselhans]

Nice interview, but whats the background song?

[@heru-deshet359]

I just found out the old man is 72. Unbelievable! I thought he was closer to 90. He must have had a very rough life.

[@heru-deshet359]

***** No, if you're 72 and you look 90, you've had a rough life. If you're 90 and look it, you're doing great.

[@heru-deshet359]

***** lol.

[@malachi00000007]

I hope he's doing ok....

[@Shane07752]

The old man needs a Trans Am.

[@VhsFrank]

1:23 what kind of Cadillac?

[@VhsFrank]

1973 1:23

[@RemixEvolution2011]

bullshit. im not a mechanic or even remotely that way inclined naturally. I just bought a jack, a toolkit and I got under it and I worked on my car (2002 new car/200sx). i did the oil, filters, plugs, later i advanced to coil packs,fitting new intercooler, i even managed to do suspension work. later on on an even newer car (2006 STi) i did it all including downloading ECU reprogramming s/w. I advanced my timing maps a smidge and added a touch of fuel. result? +27kw atw extra. Anyone Can Do it.

[@sg0940]

Old man

[@5tonyvvvv]

He needs to eat better and stop smoking!!

[@gray334]

thats what happens when you get old

[@paweleciejewski8333]

He stolen a car.wikipedia

[@davitofarito]

Too bad all his nice cars must stink of farts, and cigarettes inside.

[@unclesnotknuckle1]

He sounds like a drunk
