***RX-7 boneyard, Sanford FL***

Hey guys I know this guy in sanford who has a junkyard with about 50 rx-7's(1st,2nd,and 3rd gens). This place is awesome. The guy works at NASA and this is only his hobby so he only opens it up on the weekends.
The guys name is mark and his phone number is (407)322-8961.
If you call him, tell him Vince sent you over there.

Been there, he is WAYOUT (likeF..K.g Pluto) on his prices
Examples:
$14,000 for a salvage 93 AUTO with no motor (“Don’t worry he’ll sell you the motor; conversion parts alone $3,000)
$550 for a "beat-up" TII hood
$60 for a S5 interior pillar
Forget about tail lights

Mark will not let you walk his yard alon he tends to hovers over you and keep repeating “You break it you bought it” “You break it you bought it” “You break it you bought it” like some kind of mantra


Good selection, BUT it's a last resort kind of place as far as I am concerned

agree with robrxray Prices SUCK!!!

The guy works at NASA and this is only his hobby
In 20 years he'll probably get what he's asking, he's in no hurry to sell.

Exactly, Mark is in no hurry to sell so he doesn't care if you buy or not. He is sitting on like 100 archers in the middle of nowhere!!! (with more cows than people), he can sell or not sell the cars/parts are not going anywhere.

He says he works for NASA, but I'm sure NASA has janitors too (my girlfriend asked him three separate time what he did and each time he would just change the subject). It’s “LIKE” he wants to “seem” important; obviously its not top secret or he would not mention NASA in the first place.

No matter what the guy is expensive and I dont see that changing EVEN if you say "PRETTY PLEASE, with sugar on top"

I know my brother went recently looking for some gslse fuel lines and fuel tank. I believe his son is helping out more there and my bro was very pleased with the service. The guy removed all the parts for my brother and had them ready for him at a decent price. Much different from my experience years back when looking for a hood. Just wanted to share that some did have some luck out there.

he does not care
he knows the land alone will make him rich
sells parts enough to cover the taxes and pay some wages and makes a tidy profit

I told him his prices where out of reality especially with ebay where you can find the same

Well..let him keep his 7 stash and his land.

If it make him happy...so be it. You have to be an engineer just to clean the shuttles...so what he does over there is no matter to me. It would suck if the government was to prob his **** making sure he is in code.
