  • I explored an abandoned junkyard in Tampa, Florida, complete with snakes and alligators, to bring you HEMI cars, antique fire trucks, rows of classics and trailers full of old car parts. Plus, it's all for sale! Enjoy!

    There is or at least there was a property in Plantation Acres Plantation Fl. that was like this.I did residential home construction in there. The owner of the property was eccentric and had like 30 cars on the property...mostly in the back yard. Under the roof in the circular driveway was a mid 1920s Willys Knight large sedan motor car....with boxes caving in the canvas roof...and the car was filled with boxes and trash. Car still looked in decent shape. He also had a 1965 Olds F85 next to the barn under a roof as well...same thing...boxes on the roof and in the car. The city made him clean up the property. Not sure what became of all the vehicles there. Oddly enough...he drove a mid 90s T-bird. I did approach the resistance one time and the wife?? I believe answered the door and I asked if the Willys Knight was for sale and she did ask the gentleman and it was $9k in 2004 or 2005.

      It's off of Bill Tucker Road, close to Riverview/Balm.

      I'm not sure about the truck, but I agree, the other one is probably a Lark. Thanks for watching!
