Depends on what I need. LKQ for most stuff, but they don't keep track of the condition of the parts so I don't buy engines or transmissions from them usually. But I did get my 5 speed from them for $50. Otherwise I like to go to Hippies in Apopka.

Let's just say that Sean is one lucky bastard when it comes to this stuff. I know of 4, maybe 5 relatively close to my house & only 3 have any old fords.

Do people actually keep them around instead of crushing them down there?

They also get crushed, but another takes its place in the yard.

You don't hardly see them around here on the road. Either ragged out, or perfect condition. Nothing in the yards through.

One of the perks of no inspections, everything gets driven to death around here. They're everywhere.
