What Leaves This Shop
Built to be remembered
Concours & A.A.C.A.
Off-frame, factory-correct restorations built past production quality — judged to A.A.C.A. standards, correct to the last fastener. Nothing leaves at less than Class 2.
Resto-Mods
A totally stock body over a late-model, reliable drivetrain — disc brakes, road-handling suspension. The classic look, with the technology to drive it hard.
Street Rods
A pre-1949 body, built new around the driver — the latest drivetrain and numerous custom-fabricated parts. Clean lines, a powerful stance, everything to your taste.
Mediablasting Metal Fab Woodworking Interiors Paint
The graveyard has been producing exceptional, national award‑winning cars since early 2002.
From Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, to PowerBlock TV with Courtney Hansen, to featured cars in magazines…
we love what we do.

The Straight Deal · Time and Materials
About Us
We don’t give estimates — and that’s on purpose. There’s no honest way to price hidden rust and concealed repairs before the body is opened up, so we build to a written Restoration Agreement on time and materials. No dollar box to cram the work into, no surprises.
At regular intervals you receive a billing invoice with time summaries, labor records, and a packet of progress photos and videos of the work done. Every invoice carries a summary of the total hours performed — so you always know exactly where your build stands.
A quality restoration outlasts a mediocre one. Job integrity is never compromised to fit a number, and requested changes never mean re-negotiating a final price. Transparency is standard here.
Restoration Agreement
This agreement sets out how Graveyard Run Restorations performs the work on your vehicle — billed honestly, documented weekly, signed before any steel moves.
-
Time & Materials
Work is billed at our standard labor rate plus actual materials. No estimates, no padded bids.
-
Weekly Photo Documentation
Every invoice ships with progress photos and videos of the work, archived to your project file.
-
Signed Before Steel Moves
Agreement written and signed, deposit received, then we build. No handshake deals.
The Seybold Family
Named for the stream on the family farm
The name comes from Graveyard Run — the stream that cuts through Mark Seybold’s family farm in northeastern Maryland, where the first shop stood. The bench moved to Bradyville, Tennessee, but the way of working never did.
It’s still owned and run by the Seybold family, and the kids you see on the block here grew up in it — learning the same value system that raised the shop: honest work, done right, and a handshake that still means something.
“When you’re with us, you’re family.”
Straight From The Driveway
Words From Owners
Mark is an award winning master of restoration. The cars he, and his team restore look much higher quality than when they rolled off the assembly lines.
Great attention to detail! Honest and friendly to do business with! National Award winning Restorations!
Graveyard Run restored 3 of them. One is a 1937 Chrysler Imperial Roadster — a show car that has won a number of prizes, mostly 1st in its class. I would not hesitate to have Mark Seybold and his crew restore my classic automobiles.
This place is the real deal.
Mark Seybold is extremely knowledgeable about all types of collectable and antique cars. He diagnosed the problem with my car and fixed it quickly. Thanks to him and all his mechanics.
Best shop this side of the Mississippi.
