Mark Worman is the self-made Mopar success story. From humble beginnings in Springfield, Oregon, he has managed to tirelessly carve out space for himself, not only as a respected authority, in the Mopar restoration and documentation scene, but also with a successful television show Graveyard Carz, first on Velocity and now Motortrend Network. Always a Mopar guy from the beginning, Mark, like most of us, is chasing that perfect car that he had when he was young. Painting, bodywork, assembly, there is no part of the process that Mark can’t speak on, sometimes rattling off so many numbers and specs that it makes even a true fan dizzy! At the end of the day, Mark just wants to put more cars on the road by restoring more of these beautiful Mopars. After all, Mark is the Mopar Mortician. It’s not called Graveyard Carz for nothing!

Have you ever resurrected any one or more of the fabled “Bengal Chargers”?
From what I know there were only about 50 of these offered from a dealership in the Cincinnati area with a Cincinnati Bengals themed color combination to the team members and staff.
Mark how can I get a restored 1970 charger 500 with the 318 motor from you? How much will it cost me?
Hey there young man how are you well I have a 70 challenger and about to change my rims and tires if you want to old ones they are the Original with the road hugger tires. You can have them
Would I be able to buy a 70 Cuda from you for 80,000 thousand?
Mark: I love your show. I worked for 35 years at the mini van plant in Windsor. For clarity you see cars with something on it that should not be there.
This is how that happened. For many years they allowed a Chrysler employee to follow their new car through the plant as it was being built. When we did, your buddies on the line would see it was your car and would add to it Thus if, for example, it called for 10 inch drum brakes they would install 11 in brake assemblys for free. THEY WOULD UPGRADE MANY THINGS as you followed your car down the line. HEAVIER REINFORCEMENT UNDERNEATH etc.. Obviously, Chrysler had to stop this perk because it was costing them too much. That is how many Chryslers came off the end of the line with better parts then the build sheet actually called for… we did that for a lot of years though…Gerry
Did you ever come to Fresno. I worked at Valley Auto Sales for Ron Fena. Swear I met you. Or your twin. Diehard Mopar Good show not just entertainment but educational
