GRaveyard Kars

[Dakar Timm]

We aren't huge tv watchers in our house . Reality shows even less so .
We were at a car show this weekend talking to two fellas that had mid '60s mopars . They suggested Graveyard Kars .
We were very impressed with the show . Zero drama ,no huge emotional displays .
It's restoration shop in Oregon that is only concerned with correct restoration of Mopars .
The host /owner appears to be walking encyclopedia of all things Mopar.
He critiques his workers only to help them do better quality work . He actually explains how
he goes about restoring the vehicles .

Just keep watching the old and new shows, I assure you, the drama is there. Marks antics on the show appeal to some , are appalling to others, lots of opinions here about that. I like the fact that the shop helps drive the need for reproduced parts for our beloved old cars and may prompt designers/makers to create and produce new parts. Finding usable parts in order to restore our old clunkers gets more difficult each year........

I really like the show for the info. But no drama? Did u watch just one episode?

Yes we watched several and saaw no drama ,no fake deadlines . We did watch them on You Tube and they were not inany order. Quite likely we just hit a few without the drama

In my opinion, nothing but staged drama throughout. And yes, I have a chip on my shoulder, I don't appreciate any car that has been "fully" restored, or "fully" resto-mod by a shop. Again, my opinion, if you can't work on them, don't have them.

Its gotten better over the years. Mark and team do a good job on the cars and do offer a lot of personality. I don't care for the drama on the earlier shows.....and think they got away from that.

Current season episode 1 had virtually no useless drama.

Episode 2 started back up with it, but less than usual.

I was really hopeful, sigh.....

I know people who know more than that guy and don't have a MASSIVE ego.

There is off and on contrived drama depending on the season and characters - nothing mean spirited. But more so there is just silliness. But it’s worth watching and they do build nice cars. They don’t cut corners. I wish they would do some earlier stuff like 63 to 66.

I've caught several errors with his "facts" and posted some of them here.

I don't even consider myself an "expert", just a "student".

Once you get away from 68-71 B and 70/71 E body "HP" cars, his "expertise" starts to slip.

Mark is an expert, just ask him.

 

[Roger63]

I watch it, with the volume way down.

Next time, take the blinders off. There's more drama there than a shoebox full of soap operas!

 

[chargervert]

The guy is full of himself to the nines,and is often wrong, but atleast there are Mopars on television.

Oh, boy... another GYC thread.

Just like that one loser relative we all have.

Ratings hunt...trying to attract more followers possibly succumbing to TV production advisors to create a ‘personality’. This show is not much different than the others; remember Kounting Cars. But the latter, IMO, messed up some nice vehicles with over-the-top modding, unlike Graveyard. As posted, would be nice to see earlier mopars; but not their thing. It’s hard to mfg humor or a personality. But, to the OP’s point – yep – good stuff to watch, most of which I can only dream of. Had my ’70 Cuda and let it go – did that all by my stoopid self not realizing replacing it would become stupid costly.

Yeah, like ME! Certainly, no ego at all. LOL

Haven't seen them ruin a good car. That's my biggest gripe with these shows. Gas Monkey ruined a black 1968 Camaro SS 396 convertible when any 6 cylinder car would have worked. Kindig is currently butchering a 1967 R/T. It was a nice car, so they cut out perfectly good floors and installed a custom frame. Why and R/T? Why cut the floors from a solid car? I'm sure a lot of people with a lesser model Coronet would have traded cars.

Yeah, it's real easy to do a show about a old car that you can get any parts for without looking. How about doing a 64 Newport, or 58-300 for that matter!
