When a new episode of Graveyard Carz rolls out we figure you like to see just a little bit more. We understand so here are some recent images from inside the garage. It all looks quiet now, but on tonight's episode it's full of conflicting schedules, debates and NOT full of certain parts. Be sure to tune in to Graveyard Carz at 10|9c.
Mark gives in and hands the reigns of the shop over to Daren for the week – after all, there’s only so much trash talk a guy can take. But what happens when Daren’s directions are more distraction than deadline driven?
It seems the creative guys at Graveyard Carz don’t want to limit their artistic skills to reviving old muscle cars. Nope, they want to take a stab at pumpkins too with a pumpkin carving contest.
We can give you a sneak peak of what that looks like, but it may not all be fun and games if the crew is distracted. You never know what is going to happen when your back is turned, but I bet that hulk up on the skip is wishing they had been paying closer attention.
Any guesses as to what might have happened to the treasured ‘Cuda while everyone was playing with pumpkins?
Don’t miss Graveyard Carz, Thursday nights at 10:00 pm E/P on Velocity!
On Tuesday 12/11, you'll get to see a classic episode of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne Carini goes through his plan to market and then sell th Porsche Special Hill Climb Car. He takes it to the Hershey Hill Climb race to put it through its paces and has a darn good time doing it. But that doesn't stop him from taking it to auction.
THough the Hill Climb took place back in June, we were lucky enough to have Kenneth Visser - automobile fan, blogger and photographer extraordinaire on site and reporting back on the action. Take a walk down memory lane below, and don't forget to tune in to Chasing Classic Cars starting on Tuesday 12/11 starting at 9p.
Another fine tradition has been reignited with the second running of the The Grand Ascent Hillclimb held on the grounds of the Hershey Hotel. This is a VSCCA sanctioned hill climb exhibition and features a wide variety historic racing cars thundering up a five turn three quarters of a mile long course. A unique opportunity to see, hear and smell vintage race cars slamming gears. This event was reignited with the start of the Elegance At Hershey. We'll talk more about the Concours later. Let's take a look at some of the neat machinery that was attacking the hill.
Wayne Carini was selected as the Honary Grand Marshall of the Grand Ascent. He brought his smile and his driving skills to the hill.
Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars took the Bill Rutan VW* special with a 356 four cam motor up the hill. Wayne spoke about the rides up later "I had a blast" And his sub 57 second times were reflective of his blistering pace.
Tonight’s the night friends. We’ll finally get into the garage with the Graveyard Carz team. Regular readers know that I never like to spoil any show by giving away too much information about what you are going to see. Half the fun is seeing the drama and the laughs unfold in front of your eyes.
While you’ll get to know the team much better in tonight’s premiere at 10 pm, E/P, it’s good to know a little bit about the Mopar men making it happen.

You’ve heard me talk about how the crew is united by their love of ridiculously wrecked muscle cars and restoring them to showroom condition. Now let’s meet them as individuals.
Mark The Warmachine” Worman” – Mark draws on a wealth of experience restoring Chrysler muscle machines into shape. He’s driven by a love of these cars and is the passionate leader of the Graveyard Carz team as they race to hit deadline after deadline to save these diamonds in the VERY rough from the scrap heap. All the while Mark juggles the responsibilities of running his own body shop – which like any self-employed person involves doing whatever it takes to ensure his name and work means “quality.”
Daren Kirkpatrick – Daren’s got the experience under his belt, but that doesn’t mean his ideas and style always sit well with the rest of the team. When Daren offers up plans or a point of view from the sidelines it’s hard to tell where it’s going to end – is he playing the game to stir things up? Does he just want to see what’s going to happen by straying from the herd? We’ll have to wait and see…
Josh Rose – Someone’s got to be the new guy, right? Josh is following in Mark’s footsteps learning the skills it takes to be a top-notch mechanic with a little Mopar tuning. Josh is also Mark’s son-in-law and father to Mark’s one and only granddaughter. That doesn’t mean he gets a free ride; Josh keeps his eyes wide open to learn day in and day out, and keep the peace when the going gets tough.
Royal Yoakum – Every shop has its deep thinker, and Royal fits that description on the Graveyard Carz crew. Royal and Mark are best friends and their friendship and Mopar wizardry are pure magic. Every guy needs a buddy that’s going to give him the flip side to consider in every sticky situation, and quietly get your back know matter what comes your way.
Seeing these guys turn impossibly wrecked machine back to their former glory is one reason you are going to watch. This is restoration gold.
But perhaps the other reason you are going to watch is that these guys are just like you. They have day jobs. They have to pay the bills. They unite on Graveyard Carz in their free time and hang over engines and tinker with the body and parts just like you do when you get home from work.
All this with an eye on the clock to make sure they don’t run out of time before they have to get back to use their skills to pay the bills.
Tune in to the premiere of Graveyard Carz tonight, 10:00 pm E/P, and enjoy this sneak peek to get ready.
Drop by to let us know what you think of the show! We can’t wait to hear from all you Mopar fans!
