John & Lisa

Second Gen Graveyard is a business created for hobbyists, by two hobbyists. Lisa and John both have a passion for old vehicles, especially muscle cars. What began as a love affair with just one Trans Am has grown to a very loved fleet that are completely restored and routinely shown at local car shows for all to enjoy. (It was actually Lisa that got John started on the whole T/A craze).

We never intended to start a parts business and have been pleasantly surprised at how quickly the Graveyard has grown. Our goal is to provide quality parts at reasonable prices. We know what parts work and what parts don’t, because at one point or another we have probably used them on one of our cars. We pride ourselves on helping you keep your rides on the road and offering advice and parts at a very fair price. We are proud to be a part of the F-Body community and work hard to be an asset for you as you restore and upgrade your bird.

We both retired from careers in California and moved to Tennessee in 2020. We love the relaxed, friendly, and helpful community we live in. Our new hometown of Gallatin has been welcoming and supportive of Second Gen Graveyard and rolled out the red carpet when we hosted the Bandit Run in 2023. We love being active in the community and have been members of the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce since we opened our business here.

While we are not working in the Graveyard our other hobbies include caring for our 18 chickens, 2 Vizlsa dogs and 6 acres of beautiful rural Tennessee land. We enjoy attending events such as Firebird Fest, Bandit Run, and Trans Am Nationals so we can socialize with our customers and check out their cars.
