    Default Fox Body Junkyard Pics

    I just saw another post about someone trying to find a good junkyard source for Fox bodies. I was just at a yard yesterday that has a lot of old cars, including a handful of early '80's Mustangs and one Capri. Probably the newest stuff they have is early to mid-nineties. It's called Stark Auto Recycling in Miamisburg, OH (near Dayton). The "recycling" part of their name is a bit of a misnomer. I don't think they ever scrap anything, although they should. There are cars that have been there for decades, some so bad that they have sunken into the ground or have literally rusted to the point where they have broken in half. The Fox cars they have are pretty picked over, but there are still a few decent parts to be had from them. I needed a rocker panel molding for my car and found a good, straight one. I was shocked when I was given a price of $5.00! I also got managed to remove all the clips for the rocker moldings without breaking any of them which I couldn't believe. My big purchase was a three piece spoiler from an '82 GT for $75. It's in great shape and the flaws it has are very minor. I was thinking about putting it on my car, but I'm not sure that I want to drill a bunch of holes in my hatch. I think I'm going to list it on eBay. If it sells and I can make a few bucks on it, great. If it doesn't sell, I may put it on the car. I have a little time yet to sort that out. I took pics of all the Fox bodies they have. They're pretty sad looking but still have a few parts someone may need.

    I have a friend who is an occasional poster here. He lives in this neck of the woods and visits this yard every so often. About this time last year I was in the vicinity and had some free time, so he took me to the yard. It is as Scotty K describes. I suspect those Fox Bodies have been there three decades. There are even older cars and trucks on the grounds.

    He has successfully found various parts over the years, for the cars he was working on (including a few things like clips for my car).

    See the blue seats in the third picture? They are sitting that way because..... that's how we left them, after unbolting them only to find that the frames were rusted completely through.

    I think my big find was a small aluminum identification tag on the a/c compressor. I don't remember if they charged anything for it, or maybe I gave them a few bucks. It was a fun couple of hours.

    The 82GT has a good spoiler and front upper bumper from what I can see. Also looks like a lot of good trim as well.
