Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz is the most dedicated and passionate person I have ever seen when it comes to the preservation of Mopars. Look at how many Mopars would have ceased to exist if it wasn't for him. Yes Mark has a lot of help getting it done but if it wasn't for his leadership, inspiration and dedication to the cause, most of the Mopars that he has saved if not all of them would have been lost forever. Awesome!
Lines his wallet well. Mopar. Hats off to the quality
There are guys out there who spend every penny they have to save cars and have part hoards most people don’t know who they are
Mark and the gang. Thank you for inspiring us young gear heads. I've been watching since you started it. All the fights you had with previous employees, everything. I love the show and will pursue my dream of putting old cars back on the road. Regardless of how stock or modded. I have a non mopar. Due to financial reasons. But I am restoring a 1986 Z28 Camaro. It's a process. It takes time and money, but most important? Love and care. My Camaro has been a favorite and people love my car. I have had numerous people ask me if I can restore thier cars. I live in the south. I love all makes, all models. But most of all! I salute you and look up to you. I wish to be like you all. Awesome job. You guys motivate me. I am 24 years old. I threw a 400 small block into my 1986 Z28. Yeah it's not mopar. But it's my hotrod. I love old cars of any make and model.
Find a 350 4 bolt main and put the 400 crank in it. The 383 has to be one of the quicker builds for old school stuff. Not old to me I remember that engine combo. You have to beef up the transmission or you will grenade it.
@@DobermansRock I have a 11:1 compression 400 SBC making 600 NA wheel hp
A work of art. Combo of artistry is outstanding. But always remember talent can be learned. Any type of Art can be learned from scratch. MJ is a perfect example of learning your craft. Dont make it less amazing. But even more so, to realize, the power of knowledge. Kobe, another self taught artist.
I have a partial wiper blade from a 1970 Roadrunner. Thinking about a restoration of the whole car around this piece.
I don't know if any of the guals, will read this, but I wanted to thank you for sharing the cuda story with me, I'm 62, grew up in so California and every Friday night we would race muscle cars and cruze E st , your show took me back to all the great memories of the 70's , mark and cuzin druggie remember how great those days were, I personally loved the 70's thank you again, I even had a little bit of rain coming down my cheek when the delivery truck drove off with the cuda , what a beautiful car, and beautiful memories!!.
When I watch these guys save and restore yet another piece of Mopar Muscle, I get tears in my eyes. In the late 60's-Early 70's I was in a group of Mopar street racers from Brooklyn, N.Y. I was VERY LUCKY to have these "older guys" kind of adopt me, teach me to build and race cars. In 1969 I was 16 and I was (illegally) driving Hemi cars.440 + 6 cars, 340 cars, etc. Stick and Automatic. Street cars and all out NHRA race cars......ALL MOPAR.............This is NOT BS.....Graveyard Carz brought it all back for me. Thank you, Men !!
What an AWESOME rebuild! This shows everyone that nothing is impossible, it can be rebuilt! The car lives about 100 miles from where I live, hopefully I'll get to see it in person one day. I think I would have taken a few days and drove the car across country to NC, yup, that's what I would have done. A buddy of mine is from Washington State, and he has made that drive in 3 days many, many times all the way to Camp Lejeune NC.
Remember owning the original hood and shaker scoop , hood pin- extensions , to this car !!! 😜👌
good story dave!
remember owning the first owner title
@@djbillye4943 yes , bought a '71 barracuda from a guy that used to live in Monroe , right there in the same Alpine area , after he moved to albany and the hood, etc. Was on the car !!!
This is truly mind blowing that they could stretch and pound that body back into shape like new. Just WOW.. n that was really cool of mark to let everyone drive it before it left that was cool
So much respect to the detail and knowledge
Some of the pictures show the fog lights on front and some don't what's the deal maybe they did not like them?
Love this one....at 38.14..."thanks to the new group....their positive attitude"...about then Will flips off the cameraman......lol
Hi guys, from Australia. Im not into Crysler, Mopar cars , however you guys do one of the best restorations to these vehicles in the business. I watch your show on Sundays, because of Covid 19 lock downs . Keep it up boys ! 😎😷👌
I have to know: Fog lights or not? Mounted on at 32:24, off at 33:00, back on again at 34:27, off 35:17 ETC. Great work by the way.
Amazing work! 8 years of a restoration. WORTH IT to bring back a RARE RARE Classic. I'll be honest with you guys at Graveyard Carz! Talk about throwing it back into the face's of those who said. "You can't do it."
Thumbs up and keep up with more content! Love to see another project.
Gorgeous car!!
Awesome work to all those involved. ✌️
Restomods are nice but what you've done is Mopar Magic... Love your show...
My new favorite channel. Love it!
That being said: excellent craftsmanship, and technical skills, as well as thorough and extensive knowledge of Mopar history, and year by year, car by car build specifications! Good Work!
WHAT craftsmanship and technical skills??? did u see them do the work???? NOPE they just show the car when it started and at the end..and some video in between but actually NO WORK on video......all this a a shit show
Absolutely incredible work this team does..
This freaks me out a little. In 69 I started working in Chrysler central engineering. For a short time I got laid off from Highland park and worked at Plymouth Dodge ( dodge main) Hamtramck, the production bldg was 8 floors high and spit out all the A, E body’s. Great memories. I remember inspecting 6 hemi, Burnt tomato cars for export (Saudi Arabia) I think.
The average person will never understand why some would take on challenge like this. "Its just a car" they say. Yes, to them its just a car. To the enthusiasts who are in the hobby and industry know that its not really about the money, its about the love of the vehicle and the pride in effort, craftsmanship, and drive to succeed are why people do things like this. An incredible story, great documentation (and we just saw a fraction), and a fantastic ending. My hats off to all involved. GYC fan for life (and I'm primarily a Ford guy).
I'm so stoked, your show is on TH-cam, have followed you since on TV. Great video, I still remember the drive off your daughter did. Great show love it, MOPAR!
Beautiful car Beautiful experience I'd had a hard time letting it go... yall are top-notch!!!!!
Mark is a twin for my father,side by side they are identical,I watch because he has passed,seeing Mark makes me smile.
Great job Mark you guys did an awesome job especially that body shop they are amazing to bring the wrinkled up sheet metal back to life just blows my mind
Beautiful car, back in 1971 you could have a Boss 429 Mustang pull up next to you and your had yourselves a instant drag race, Detroit Woodward avenue was a great place to be a gearhead in the late 60s and early 70s!!! The fun times of my youth!!!2022
I was born in 71 and I love the show
Happy 50th birthday this year!
Amazing craftsmanship to the entire team, including the man with the vision, the boss. ;)
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh OORAH! Im from Moravian Falls NC GREAT ta see that Cuda make it home to Greensboro 75 miles away! :)
My mom had one of these. A daily driver wasn't that special back in the day but now they are very special
Amazing work. I used to be the guy people went to when they had a car stereo to install when we were teenagers. Mopar drove me crazy. The radio dials side by side. One piece dashboard so we had to cut it out and modify the dash. IIRC the wiring was a bit unusual as well. Getting aftermarket speakers? Oi...
I started watching GYC because of this car, and became a fan, well done guys, I know it was completed back in 2016 but I still love watching the repeats of this show.
I'm a body man been in the business 38 years and I have resurrected dead vehicle's just as bad myself what alot of people don't understand is it's not how bad it's tore up everything can be fixed the question should be do you have deep enough pockets to fix it but I give you mad probs on that job I know the amount of time and patience it takes to do that
Producer: "This show needs something for the ladies. How about there is some confusion about who can drive the car and someone says the gate is open? Nah they'll never go for it."
I have never owned a Chrysler. I wish I could afford to own a real one. Love your show.
Amazing job buddy. You all have a nice fun crew. God bless.
Personally the 71 Cuda and Challenger were the most beautiful and baddest cars ever. I know most like the 70 but 71 is just mean looking. Thank you for a great show and knowledge of these cars.
Shows what you can do with a hundred dollar car, and a million dollars worth of tools.
No just time lots of it and its not as though they used much of the original car in the end
@@NZMOPAR yep. As long as they can save the vin tag part of the dash. It's an original
Kinda have to have some knowledge an skill too not many people can put a car together correctly
@@pmp2559 very true
5,000 hours
That car literally is a work of art hats off to Mark warman you the man brother!
I want to know how it had "original" orange paint under the striker when the car was dipped in a chemical tank and had all of the original paint removed. It can clearly be seen in the video where the strikers aren't on the body after the dipping and there is no orange paint.
Good catch!😁
Excellent series Mark! A true American hero. Louis Chevrolet
So nice to see this beautiful car literally be brought out of it's grave to the best rebuild I have ever seen. I've seen some beauties, even had a few restorations of my own in 40 plus years in the auto repair business, but nothing like this.
SUCK IT, KEYBOARD COMMANDOS!
Incredible, the car is beautiful, I think it's priceless, Mark's new name should be Mr. Impossible, just because he did what they said couldn't be done, yeah I know it wasn't just him, but it was his passion and an eye for detail.👍👍 2 thumbs way up😁
Whats up with the two different front bumpers?? Original owner’s car did not have fog lights but towards the end of the video, the car’s front bumper mysteriously appears with fog lights. Old School muscle car owners would agree, fog lights, air shocks, traction bars, fur on your dash or hanging a raccoon tail on the antenna....not cool. Over all, Great Video and Awesome restore. The workmanship was spot on.
Originally it had a luggage rack on the trunk lid and no billboard graphics either. I have a feeling that they were added because the owner wanted them though. That's something that never gets discussed with this show. I have a feeling though that everything people like to bitch about on these restorations are customer requests.
Had a tamer ‘71 back in the day. First car I ever missed after I sold it. Probably take an act of God to own another but that’s life!
Awsome Job Mark and the entire Graveyard Carz team.....so proud of you all. !
G'Day Graveyard mates.😆👍
Guess lunch was more important to the shop owner than the unveiling. The car underwent an amazing transformation. The history of it being brought back from total wreckage was amazing.
I remember finding a 440 six pack 70 Cuda in a junkyard back in the late 70s. Despite numerous attempts to purchase it, the yard owner would never sell it. Later on I found the car had been crushed. When I see them saved I'm happy. when they are owned by idiots I can never figure it out. Definitely appreciate all those who make the extraordinary attempts to save the icons of the automotive industry
An amazing restoration. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I love GRAVEYARD cars !!!!!! Awesome !!!!! Mark you are amazing
Awesome Awesome Job! No More night time racing with this MOPAR! Kudos to you ALL!
Funny, i had a friend whose father bought him a brand new 71 Cuda. Damn thing was scary fast. No idea what became of it, but i think he would have been amazed if he knew that a few decades later it could be worth upwards of $50k.
Correct me if I my memory fails me but the serial number shown at 6:23 is NOT the one for that cuda. In fact it is one for a 1969 dodge charger Daytona with a 440 magnum motor. The first 5 should be BS23V0 for a 1970 cuda with 440 six pack.
They may have used that as an example, so as not to reveal the actual VIN of this car (maybe at the request of the owner?).
The Restoration is awsome. Lots of hard work. Oddly enough We had a bodyman here in Vancouver Wa that also would of looked at and said I can fix it He did an awsome job on a 65 Ford Galaxie that my dad said was 1 of 3 in Wa
what a wonderful journey! GYC family you are the best bar none!
Yeah awesome!! I just subscribed to your channel, I’ll be following more this is super cool
I dont see how it could have original orange in the door jam if the car was tank dipped. Any video of AMD doing the body work?
Behind the door striker bolt there was paint.
Will always looks dirty
Is that dirty clothes you get fisheye
@@wolley2012 I saw this, and that is what I am questioning. If the car was taken apart as it shows for the tank dip, then no paint should have been there.
This is why I love watching you guys funny you guys get along real good ? And build beautiful old-school muscle yeah nothing better yeah I’ll be watching more
Reidsville NC? Hopefully some day I will see this car somewhere!!!🧡🧡🧡🧡
It would be awesome if theres a solid video of the entire built from beginning to end. DvD, BlueRay, VHS,
I would buy 2 copies…. I cant tell you how many times a watch the show and saw glimpses o the car in the shop, racks and in the flooded dock….
The show inspired me to start work on my on car
One of my old neighbors across the road from where I was living at the time here in Alberta, Canada had this exact same car which was a customers at his home shop. I would make sure to turn my music down just to listen & watch it leave and return.
I am from P town... Cruised the Gutter many times .. Nice job guys (and Girls)!!
AWESOME BUILD!
Awesome job on that beautiful car!
I hope to meet this crew someday. Would be my dream come true. Love you guys from canada
The only reason this restoration was worth it was because he used it for PR, and as the most extreme example of his capability to take a wreck and bring it back to operational status, but as a former owner of an E - Body Mopar: it's not worth it economically, and it's more remanufacturing, part sourcing, fabrication, and metal working than could justify the $$$$
Fantastic job guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mark, The Melange still races wheres that from lol 🏁
so refreshing seeing a car building show with an owner that cares about his employees. no coddington,richard rawlings excessive deadlines. i hate those speed building car shows that treat their employees like shit
i have had 2 flex fuel cars,. In the state of maine there is no flex fuel, how clean are they to run the god and the bad of it ,if you have made a video on this please show me a link. Thank You
Something I though I’d never see again… enough room to climb into the engine bay to work on the engine. Nostalgia.
Regarding the Phantom 'cuda: like I've always said, do not ever tell a rodder (or in this case, a restorer) "it" can't be done. They will do "it" just to prove you wrong.
I can testify to this
Why does the early pics show no Billboard on the car and the restored have one???
Boy, I know the new owner is a very happy patient man after 8 years of waiting. If that was me I would say to Mike......"Dam it!!!" "I'm not a Doctor!!!" "I lost my patients!!!" "Dude!" "WHERE'S MY CAR!!!" Cuda's on the Mecum or Barett Jackson Auto Action go up to or over $260,000.00 sold! Since this car is a very rare model Cuda it should top the $260,00.00.
Graveyard Carz Rules! MOPAR¡ RULES
Just WOW dreams do come true with amazing people and a crew like that. WOW
couldnt have asked for nobody better to do work like that the whole team is amazing
How much of the car can you replace and still have a valid VIN?
These guys do AMAZING work. But I doubt I could ever afford one of their beautiful restorations.
I Loved the Outro, thanking all behind the scene😎❤️
What colour is that truck 3, 4 seconds into the video? Absolutely beautiful. I might paint my bike that colour....
This man for sure can bring car out from grave
Hope to see the car around here in NC, I'll be looking for it. Beautiful.
Yes sir that guy don't live to far from us in Reidsville, N.C.
@@harryfaircloth4513 it was recently sold to a guy in switzerland
@@harryfaircloth4513 The guy in Reidsville is a jerk.
Awesome work to all on the Phantom Cuda.
Awesome car rebuild enjoyed this video
My brother used to drag one of these , he would just use 2nd and 3rd because it was soo fast .
I remember getting a ride to babysit ''The fastest car I've ever been in''
I wonder where it is now.
1 of 108
This guy knows more about mopars than anyone in the WORLD
So you're good to go. Good luck!
It's an absolute beauty ❤️
There is a similar story about an extremely rare European car, an Alpha as i recall, that was squashed flat as a bug in a building collapse. Due to its rarity and historical importance it was laboriously rebuilt by thousands of hours spent straightening and metal reshaping.
1989- I could have bought 2 1974 Cudas. 1-340 1-440, for $800. 1-stock 1- street/strip
I can still see them parked in that front yard.
I’ve seen 1 Cuda on the road in the last 20+ years.
Beautiful, amazing restoration. Too bad you're stuck with those hideous decals on the rear quarters that Mopar thought were cool.
As a kid in the 7p s,
Iused. To cruize Willamette street- THE GUT, every weekend !! AHH, memories of growing up in the Eugene/ Springfield area !!!
Question, was the original motor found?
"The gate's open and you're good to go."
Kind of hard to manufacture tension/conflict when you forget to cut that part... 🙄
Hi! I Would Have to Say!! Alot of Cars Over the years! This 1 Is Amazing! Fantastic! 1 of A Kind! All the Greatest People , Congratulations!! The New Owner, Congratulations!! What A Dream Come True!!
Truly A Master,Wow!Your Also The Re-animater,That Car Was Dead!
I remember "cruising the gut" back in the early 70s just west of where GYC is, in Eugene Oregon. Probably drove by a very young Mark and never knew.
Would be nice if you showed the initial air date of each show so I can watch them in order...lol
Mr Worman, can you please list ALL the original parts of the real original car in this build? How much left?
