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.

I like the show since the owner Mark is a purist right down to the mistakes made at the factory.

I'd love to own many Mopars, but they're soooo damn expensive to build or buy.

I'd love a 71 Cuda in black, with black billboards, a black gator grain roof, black rear wing, and a black shaker, all topped off with black color matched bumpers. Oh man...


I love all the odd things you could get with Mopars. How about those "Mod Top" cars huh? Gator, Turtle, Snake, and Floral print tops with matching interiors.

I would have to say I am too - I grew up in a big Mopar town and although my first musclecar experience was a 69 Voodoo green GTO, my second and longest lasting one was a notorious 71 triple black Hemi Cuda that I got picked up for cub scouts in when it was BRAND NEW....I later got rides to High School in it for most of my senior year.

I expect I'll have one at some point or another, but I'm still on the quest for the perfect set of 68-72 A-Bodies so it will have to wait.

When in high school I worked part time for my friends dad at his Plymouth dealership. Very small town and small dealership. Sold Plymouths and GMC trucks and mostly used cars. I was mostly a gopher from late 69 to early 72. The owner let me spec out a 72 Duster 340 to order that I was thinking about buying. I didn't go crazy on the order sheet and ordered it like it would sell on the lot. IIRC, the only options I ordered were vinyl top, rally wheels, RWL tires, and AM FM radio; and automatic. I ordered a red car. I had decided before it came in that I wasn't going to buy it because I was going to college and I couldn't afford the payments. (If I had only known that I would leave college after only 6 weeks and return to work!) When it came in it was a gorgeous car!
