South Florida Junkyard Memorial Page

The South Florida Automobile Junkyard Memorial Page
This site exists as a memorial to all of the rare and classic vehicles that have met their unglorious end in our local South Florida junkyards. I've been going to these yards since I was 18 years old, moved to South Florida right out of high school(raised in the DC Metro Area). For whatever the reasons may be, the local yards in this area get some of the most exclusive and rare vehicles. At the time of first implementing this page, the local U-Pull-It had a rust-free and fairly complete late 70s Rolls Royce, (minus engine) and a totally complete mid 80s Maserati Quattroporte Sedan with a DOHC V8. This page will serve as a memorial for these fallen vehicles. Ok, I'm really not this disturbed, but I thought it was funny, and it is kind of sad to see these cars get junked. \ FYI, cameras are not allowed in the junkyard, so all pictures were taken with my phone. (sorry)

I took a quick look this weekend. Nothing so spectacular, but here are a few pictures I took. In addition to these cars, there were also a couple of Porsche 944s, a 924, an old Celica Supra GTS, and a few 12 cyl Jaguar convertibles. If you get a chance, help me figure out what these cars are...

I heard through the grape-vine at Pennock's Fiero Forum that there was an 88 TTOP Fiero in the junkyard, so I headed over there and took a few other pictures.

CASH FOR CLUNKERS SPECIAL! - My dad decided to trade in his old Volvo 850 Station Wagon. Unfortunately for him, his Volvo didn't get bad enough fuel economy to count towards a Cash-4-Clunkers Federal credit. He decided to buy a new vehicle anyway. While we're waiting for them to prepare his new car, we took a stroll through the parking lot with the vehicles that had already been turned in for the Cash-4-Clunkers program. Although their engines hadn't been seized yet, all of these vehicles would eventually be destroyed. The manager stated these vehicles would not end up in the junkyard for parts, but immediately crushed. There are several Explorer Sports, a Windstar van, an F-150 pickup, and surprisingly, a V6 Ford Escape.

1/10/2009

I've been really busy, wife just had a baby, so I haven't had time to remember or figure out what these cars are. But quick guess from left to right(not sure on the years): late 70s Fiat 124 Spyder, a Datsun 240Z, early 70s Cadillac Eldorado, late 60s Impala Super Sport Coupe, mid 60s Plymouth Valiant Coupe, Ford Galaxy, 60s Lincoln Continental, and absolutely no clue...

12/21/2008

There were a lot of cars this week, but I only took pictures of a few. This week, in order of appearance, a late 70s Alfa Romeo Spyder, a 1965 Volvo 1800S, and a 1979 Ford Pinto Coupe. Also, just for everyone's enjoyment, I also took a picture of a brand new 2008 Honda Ridgeline that had burned to a crisp. That's legendary Honda reliability for you. Other cars worth mentioning that I didn't take pictures of: two BMW 2002s, 1984 Porsche 944 (black), 1985 Porsche 944 (red), late 70s MGB, 1975 Oldsmobile Delta-88 Royale.

12/06/2008

This week, in order of appearance, a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Sedan, and a 1968 AMC Javelin, a 1978 Buick Regal, a 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV and finally, a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500.

11/28/2008

This week, in order of appearance, a 1979 Jaguar Series III XJ-8 Sedan, and a 1974 Pontiac Catalina Coupe 350, a 1966 Chevrolet Corvair 6-cyl Sedan and lastly, a 1981 Jaguar XJS-8 with a small block chevy transplanted into it. There were some other cars worth mentioning, but I didn't take any pictures. A 1985 Porsche 944 5-Speed, a BMW 735 CSi, and another Triumph TR-7.

11/22/2008

In order of appearance, a mid 70s BMW 735i (there were several of these), a Triumph TR-7, and a Triumph TR-6 . There wasn't much else worth mentioning at the yard today. Several new BMWs, Mercedes, and Jaguars.

11/15/2008

In order of appearance, a 70-72 Ford Maverick, and a 1964 W200 Dodge Power-Wagon-6 extended cab pickup truck. The thing that made this pickup of particular interest is that it's a former USAF military vehicle. The original color of the pickup was blue (as can be seen from the inside). It's still complete with all of the badging and markings from the military. Unfortunately, the exterior was repainted. It appeared to me as though this vehicle was decomissioned and donated to a local fire department and then eventually moved to civilian hands (where it ended up like this).

11/08/2008

In order of appearance, a 1967 Ford Mustang, a 1969 Dodge Polara Sedan, and a 64-65 Mercury Comet.

11/01/2008

In order of appearance, a massive 63-64 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, a gargantuan 1972 Chrysler Newport, a 1967 Ford Thunderbird, and finally a 1972 Oldsmobile Delta-88 Convertible.

10/25/2008

In order of appearance, a 64-68 BMW 2002, a vintage VW Meyers Manx, and a 67 or 68 Chrysler Newport. The interior was perfect by the way. The seats looked as if they had never been sat in. The interior door panels looked like they were totally brand new.

These are definitely some old pictures. I found these on my computer, but they seem to be the first junkyard pictures I've taken. This is a fairly complete 80s Buick Reatta, ashame... I snagged the diagnostic computer and touch-screen monitor from it. Not really sure what was up with the hair in the drivers seat... but I wasn't about to touch it.
