I think there was something like that in one of the Second Chance series by Old Man with a Pen.
I think Island Mine starts out in a junkyard, but I can't remember if it belonged to a friend's dad.

Waylon Eckerman's rents a garage to fix his truck, the man owning the garage/stall asks him to watch his brothers junkyard. Great story.
ch 4 of Island Mine, in section with bolded heading Garage on Fifth Street 1st mentions it, then Waylon finds it a bit further in the chapter. Name of mc is Waylon Eckermann and he does end up buying it

I seem to recall something like that happened in one of Old Man With a Pen's stories. I think it was part of one of the arc of stories about the family that lived on the west coast of Michigan.
