Didn't that place become a TV show that messed with cars? As opposed to a place that did restorations that was on TV?
I watched some of the episodes on YT. Reminded me of American Chopper...a little too much.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Was just watching an older episode of GYC. The one where he went to look at the old dealership. And was talking about creating Graveyard Motors. Did that ever happen? Or was it just for TV? That building had no infrastructure,water, sewage ect. so Mark never bought the building.

I wonder if the reproduction Challenger TA mufflers are choking that Red Eye engine?
And given Graveyard Carz takes 9 to 10 years to complete some cars I don't think they should be looking into branching out into other businesses. Nine to ten years? You are kidding, right?
