“Graveyard Carz” is a reality television show which began airing in 2011, and follows the workshop Graveyard Carz as they focus on restoring Mopar muscle cars from the 1960s to the 1970s. The show has been running for a total of 10 seasons, and has the motto “It’s Mopar or No Car”. The show was created by Mark Worman using an independent film and television production company he created, called The Division. They marketed the concept of the show to the network Velocity, and their deal allowed them all creative control with a bit of input from the Velocity team.
The show has been known for its significant restorations, and departs from the usual nature of these types of series which show complete builds per episode, as they admit that it often takes a long time for them to complete a project. One of the most significant completions seen on the show was the restoration of a 1971 Plymouth Cuda, which many believed could not be restored, except for Worman; the car underwent a significant transformation during the first five seasons. The show also focuses on the cast members, known as The Ghouls. The series has shown a bit of insight into the cast members’ lives, but mostly it focuses more on the cars, as viewers comments indicate that they are mainly watching for the car builds.
