Good to hear the owner is a cancer survivor, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma literally the week my mother died of small cell lung cancer. I watched her suffer so horribly so I was terrified. When the doctor came in the room we knew by the look on his face and my wife and the kids cried and I just stood up and said let’s get started . I knew I had a fight ahead of me but I been fighting my entire life . Went home sat on the couch cried for awhile held my kids and then the next day went in for my mediport in my chest for chemo . 5 years later I’m still here in remission and even the doctor said nobody in his office thought I’d make it because my lymphoma was everywhere bone marrow Spleen literally everywhere. Don’t take life for granted my friends because one day it could all come crashing to a halt. It’s how you handle it that makes a difference .
10 years plus for me with advanced stage lung cancer. (Non-tobacco user) Then this year l get hit by a car on my bicycle. You're 100% right. Don't take life or anything for granted.
Nice video. Every car guy has heard "you take better care of that car than me" at some point. When my first real girlfriend said it, I replied that she could take care of herself, but the car couldn't. Not what she wanted to hear. We never made it to "you love that car more than me"
I am 56 this year i never had a fancy car i had a 77 nova for 20 yrs I loved building it but lost it work run out my house burned to the ground. So i sold it to be able to buy food. I would kill for another 4 dr nova but now i have a hernia my left hand is messed up . And now i love that damn 99 durango . LOL And your show you are amazing.
Mark, i know you are a very busy man, you probably do not get a chance to read all of the comments, I know you are a Muscle Car Man, But, I Have a Request here, Could you rebuild a 1963 Chrysler Imperial car Like the one used on the TV show The Beverly Hillbillies? The one that the banker Milbern Drysdale Drove, What a Spectacular Car, they Did Not make Many of These , thank you, Cousin Figel
I watch old TV shows and wonder if Hollywood still has some of them. I knew they once had a warehouse full of them. When watching these shows?! You sometimes see something extremely rare. I'm a car enthusiast and I like the Pontiacs from I Dream of Jennie. The Brady Bunch also had Mopars. I believe they had a Cuda convertible. Blue if my memory serves me correctly. Good luck in your endeavors.
Those pics are awesome... Pro-Mod or bagged would've been so cool... Beautiful car... So not a fan of vinyl tops... That's just me... Keep doing what you do to preserve the best of American Muscle...
this story of Mark and his first two cars blows me away.. Back in 1972 I bought my first car, it was a 1970 Dodge Charger SE 383 magnum drove ut real hard blew the engine and parked it. Iwent out west to British Columbia a buddy we purchased a 1965 Chevy van.. Icame back home late 1975 and had a motor installed into my !970 Charger but blow that engine up in no time and replaced it only to have a problem with the electrnics. One day I was driving past the local scrap yad and saw a 1972 volkswagon and stopped in and traded my 1970 Charger in on that volkswagon.. It sounds funny but hearing mark sell his 1970 Charger for a volkswagon makes megiggle Thanks Grave Yard Cars forthe entertainment you have gave me for the last numerous yearsI have been following you page...
thanks for the warnings as i almost ended up 2X buying a bug ( plus the wife asked if she could buy one or a 1-gen ford mustang ) seems we have habits. so i need to stay away from VW's and or not park/party, my 1969 BBM-stick charger next to them it might come up missing 😂
I used to own a 72 Dodge Charger while yes it came with a 318 2bbl carb if I had it still I would have swapped that for a 426 Hemi with a 750 Dual feed Holly bucket seats in the front with a shifter on the floor not sure if I would have left it a Automatimatic or a 4 speed manual but mine had shackles and airshocks on the back with a pair of nice L60-15's for back tires it was awesome as it had flaired rear quarters but think a wheel tub in the back could have allowed me to lower the rear a little so if I had people in the back seat the tires would not have rubbed but hey it was a Idea oh and it was Plumb Crazy Purple paint but would have changed that to Pearl Plumb Crazy Purple but since I don't own it is just a Idea
Restomod? personally i'm a fan, but also love the original rebuilds. When i say Restomod, i mean full original interiors/paint with slight mods to wheels/suspension/wheel tubs sometimes to fit better wheels, and of course modded engines..cant do standard on those anymore sorry :)
I just wanna say I love your show love what ya do! I own a 2018 3 Gen scatpak. My dream since a teenager was to own a rumble bee. If I get the money up from over time as an etech at diamler I'm coming to you to get my dream car. Love you and the family love your RU-vid videos. Please keep making more!
I have been working on cars since i was old enough to hold a wrench. And alot of people get lucky and make tons of money , i do not hold and miscontent . But damn a 5,000 car in a richmans hands is worth 300,000.00 in a poor mans hands its worth 2,000.
There's a video about a Pro-street Daytona Charger that someone just bought. It's called: "The worst Daytona ever." I suggested: That person should send it to Graveyard cars. It deserves better. It's a red Daytona Charger with white decals. Mark ought to look at the video and reach out to that potential customer.
Oh man have I missed watching your show. My health got in the way and when I got back home they shut off my TV and the hospital didn't get you. So I have some catching up to do.
You guys certainly know how to have fun at work! Good for you! By the way, I wish my grandma had a sweet car like that! I don't think the kid quiet grasped what his ol "granny" has going there......great car!
The Restoration these Guys do is kind of like the highest form of "Paint By Number". And when they are done the Cars are also a Piece of Art as much or more than just being a means of transportation.
There's a glimpse of the Yella B Van in the background while the Charger is being rolled out. Any chance you can include the Resto of it in a future episode for all the Mopar Vanners ?
don't count on it, i know this stoplight trick as lots of old guys told me about there street racing days and i have a charger and road in a later 90's z28 as a kid ( miss you dug RIP older family friend ) plus a hopped up red Chevy 60's/70 comaro owner OEM AL-BBC M22-AL 4:10 aka heavy mod's and he amidted getting out ran by fairly un-moded road runner B-383 or RB-440 ( now a 426-572 hemi un-computerised yes you can tree it pretty easily as the chamber design/overall design isn't perfect for low end setup/settings ) auto more so at the bottom end the top 1/4 or 1/2 mile not as much as the the 727 has no overdrive aka 1:1 but with a modern transmission probably not, i will see as im going from a 727 to a TR6070 Z51 vet transmission
Will is the Top Gun of paint. That guy from Gas Monkeys is incredible too and between both they are the very best I've ever seen. I tried to find the dudes name (braided goatee lots of tatooes) but instead found all kinds of sht about Gas Monkey without even a reference to this dude who's on a level with Will. Anyone have anything?
“In the interest of accuracy we leave the passenger side wheel studs left handed”. But the wheel is a 15x7? Mopar restorations are full of contradictions it seems. Anyways carry on.
Why don't you guys design/create your own version of a Mopar "Hot Wheels" car. Just go wild and create something totally original. That would be worth the cost of admission.
Wait. Someone beats you up for pointing out a squinting sixth graver? And you think you are the one who needed a lesson? 👌😆 I never lost a fight. And I was in a lot of them. I never started a fight, but I always finished it.
I love what ya do really but even for a regular person working cannot afford a old damn car becose the rich has taken that too. If you dont make a shit ton of money you will never afford these cars, Thank you rich people. I have sunk at least 2500 puttint NEW stuff on my 99 durango just to trade it in to be told they would give me 500 I told the sales guy that only covers the new tires . he laughed at me like SOO.
Love the car, but stop shitting on Camaros, if they didn't exist, Cuds's woudln't. Besides, many Camaros destroyed many E body Chryslers on the streets.
Notice how Mopar fanboys always talk so much smack about Chevrolets? The pain of them knowing that Chevrolet made so many cars, with so many less Cubes, that waxed their precious 440 cars everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays, has to be nearly unbearable! So that is what Haters do. They talk smack about what they are envious of! 😆 I will give Mopar credit for having one of the most badass small blocks ever though. Which was the amazing 340. They gave every small block and even some of the big blocks from Chevy and Ford a great run for their money.
As Steve Brule says, "It's a small block Chevy head on a big block". Tell us again how your ZL-1 Camaros faired up against Sox & Martin, Dick Landy, or Arlen Vanke in their Hemi A Bodies? What do you think happens when you swap those station wagon cams out of the Hemis & put something on par with the high horse big block Chevies in? How do you think a 340 would act with a grind like a 2nd Design Off Road Z/28 cam in it? How did your 409s do up against the Max Wedge cars? You DO know as soon as you put a REAL cylinder head on a big block, the game changes, right? Any engine's an air pump, Chrysler just decided to dump all their eggs in 1 basket. Kinda dumb IMO, but understandable when you got King Kong in the wings. 😁
Oh, BTW, I don't recall very many of your small blocks getting past my 440 R/T. How much is a small block Camaro or Nova worth against a 2nd Gen Charger or an E Body anything again? 😁
