ive been searching online for a european junkyard in florida for a while and i cant find anything. just wondering if anyone knew of a website where i could look for one or if anyone could tell me where one is. im located in central FL and me and my friend are down for a roadtrip, so the distance doesnt really matter as long as its promising. thanks.

I stopped at this place when I was in Ft. Lauderdale a couple of years ago...
They don't let you walk the yard though. From what I noticed, they had the more original / special item parts in the main office.-Brandon

Most yards today are not "Junkyards", They are salvage yards with a precise method to there madness. Aka no customer is allowed to cut wires or for that matter allowed in the yard without escort. This way they don't get stuck with a half a wasted carcass of a car because a hack disassembled an assembly wrong and destroyed the rest in the process.
The way of the junkyard is quickly becoming a thing of the past with EPA rules saying they need to drain tanks and waste oils, Freon collection and other hazardous wastes to collect they have to pass the price to you. Hence why most large yards sell for half the cost of new. Could you imagine if I asked those prices? I would be rich. And for the most part they don't guarentee them either unless stated.
Good luck on your quest, my sugeestion would be to by a parts car if it was a viable option to you.
