pic-a-part style Junkyards near Orlando, FL?

[Carmine]

Down here on a "forced" vaca, there is only so much theme-crap I can take... need to be around junky smashed cars.

Doesn't have to be an old car yard; there is late-model stuff I like to hunt for. Must be a do-it-yourself style, standing at a parts counter is just as boring in MI.

I promise pics if you send me!

Thank you. Personal recommendations?

Never been to one of them except one in Bartow and one in Wauchula. Bartow is OK. Forget Wauchula.

1973 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon

Interestingly, I also found this on CL... a buddy sold it to a guy in FL a few years back. I have actually touched this car! Now it's for sale again 1300 miles away! Freaky man!

WTH is that building?

And is that stick holding the roof?

I want to go wherever that is. That building is huge with lots of old Iron.

I'm wondering if that isn't perhaps a holding area for a Mecum auction.

I dunno but that sure is a lot of roof.

Sorry Carmine, I just picked up on this thread... I am working my long schedule all week, but if you're around on the weekend I would enjoy meeting you and I always enjoy a walk through the yards... LKQ on rt50 and UPAP on Jetstream are my goto for older late model stuff, I haven't been in either for a while... their online inventories haven't been too promising for me lately. The Central Florida place had a few older cars I had heard, but I haven't been there. They were briefly a racing complex that got cut short by noise abatement. I was told by several that they were not very competitive on their pricing... but who cares if all you want is a look around.

I don't believe any of the others operate as "do it yourself", but may let you into their yards if you ask.

Saturday or Sunday, I can gather tools and meet up if you like... give me a heads up if you want any specialty tools. PM if any of that works for you. I blew my back out Thursday, but I should be good to go by the weekend.

BTW, I had considered tire kicking that wagon just to see where the heck that building was, thanks Stan, I think you nailed it.

speaking of Mecum Kissimmee, does anyone know where the Osceola Heritage RV park is in relation to the arena??

might be heading down there for the auction in january...

That's an easy Google.

 

[MarPar]

you are most correct, Stan. it was an easy google. I just wanted to confirm that it is directly across from the arena. (circled in red)
