Graveyard Carz
 
Someone needs to do a pontiac show like this, with more car work and less fooling around. When they show working or talking about the cars, this is the best show.

Totally agree. I'm watching the marathon episodes now.

I was watching the episode where they were trying to find the time line of one of the cars and my wife came in and watched a little of it and said "why would it matter about the time line and who cares" I told her I would love to find the previous owners and talk to them. She had this blank look on her face and asked "really?" She got up and left when I asked her if she could do what Holley was doing.

They certainly do nice work. I just can't stomach the owner (Mark?). And the manufactured drama kills it for me.

I like it.....I'm a closet Mopar fan!!

Judge273 02-17-2014 12:22 PM

I actually learn stuff from this show....

Bob Dillon 02-17-2014 12:39 PM

I must have missed this, and it sounds interesting. Is it on DirecTV, and if so, what channel?

Thanks.

Pepper Judge 02-17-2014 12:44 PM

What channel does it air on or is it a web based show?

Cerberus 02-17-2014 12:47 PM

Velocity airs the program on Direct TV.

Stuart 02-17-2014 12:49 PM

It's on the Velocity channel, about some shop that restores Mopars. I saw about 30 seconds of one episode and it appeared to be the same old fake drama as all the other shows.

The drama is stupid, and theres a lot of it...

But the show itself is actually pretty technical. They know their stuff. Its fun hearing people throw around code names, and production numbers on tv. We only hear that stuff on forums or at shows.

I watched it hit and miss and honestly didn't learn anything car related from it so I never watch anymore.
Every time I tuned in it was a B & M drama session, might be 5 minutes of knowledge in there someplace but I seem to miss it every time.

Bob Dillon 02-17-2014 02:18 PM

Thanks...
 
Looked it up, it's channel 281 on DirecTV.

Absolutely.
All of these so called "reality" shows are somewhat less than real.

Sounds like a spin-off of the Ass Monkey and the Count's show. :( And one of those each for both of them.... :( :(

HIGHLY manufactured. I think this is the king of crap. Its really too bad because if your a Mopar guy, you could really learn from the great work they do. The bantering back and fourth is terrible.

They should have shows that actually show the details of what they do to perfect their work. The show in this thread is just a waste.

grandam1979 02-17-2014 06:33 PM

I like it its better than most of the car shows on tv.

Garry Sr 02-17-2014 07:42 PM

I keep telling myself I need to watch more TV, for some reason it just doesn't compute.

jww 02-17-2014 07:43 PM

I refuse to watch it. does the network really think all the fake bantering is entertaining!??

So silly it's ludicrous

Jww

Mark the owner knows his sheet about cars in general, Mopars for certain, and seems to have the ability to do anything on these cars, be it engine assembly, bodywork, interior work, etc, etc. The first time i saw the show, I really thought his cockiness was scripted, but I now think he is the most genuine on the show. I love his pet names for the guys and his knowledge of these cars is impressive.

Royal (bald guy) seems to know his sheet, but really is poorly acting.

Josh (tall young kid) is a moron and barely knows what a car is. He seems to be getting better, but I wouldn't want him near a car during assembly

Darren is a piece of sheet and needs a pick axe to his head. I think if I spent any time in that shop I would find a way to smash his face with a sledgehammer. His constant bantering gets under my skin and I yell at the TV during every episode.

I really don't understand how this team can turn out such nice cars. I really believe mark & Royal assemble the cars and the other two idiots are there for the show. I also believe there are several others behind the scenes that assisting finishing these cars.

I am a closet Mopar guy myself and love almost every car they have had on the show. I especially like the '69 A12 Super Bee and the Plum Crazy '70 sunroof Challenger.
