Trip to American Auto Salvage De Bary FL

[YY1]

I LOVE this place!

 

[YY1]

Charger is running/driving 66 383 a/c car with nice interior and mid 60's 440.
Asking $6K

 

[YY1]

Parts prices are reasonable, but it's almost 100 miles from my house.
They also have metal stock, structural steel, aluminum, etc.
Yes, even a kitchen sink (should have got pic).

kool stuff, thanks for posting! What did you buy?

I was looking for a front bumper and door panels for my 73.
Both bumpers on that brown one were rusted completely through.
The interior was complete, and the color I have (tan), but the panels were chalky.

I ended up with only the driver's armrest (which is in great shape), and a perforated thin aluminum sheet to make a bolt holder for my sand blast cabinet.
My 73 came from that area, and I picked up a box of parts the guy just found.
At least my $5 armrest wasn't a $45 armrest after fuel cost.

Last time I was there I bought a sheetmetal clad m/h door for my garage- $10 and my sand blast cabinet- $40.

Does that blue plaid Fury interior count as MOD?

I should probably go cut the quarters off of that Charger.
I'm sure the'd be cheaper than the AMD 71/72 pieces.

I guess these cars are used in the Hollywood for the stunt and crash purposes. Lol. Nice photo work though. Thanks for sharing.

They sell complete project cars if they have the title.
I've seen a 70ish Monte Carlo and a 73/4 Nova SS leave the yard.

I think these are just regular cars. When people bring old cars to the scrapper, they set them aside and part them out. VERY cool.

There was another lot near me that had the cop cars for the Dick Tracy movie and the Benz from Dolly Parton's talk radio movie.

The Dick Tracy cars were 34-36 Fords with 350 chevy motors, and were priced at $1500-$3500 and they came with "home assembled" titles.
