(Photos by Diana Sterk) – For 80 years L&L Classic Auto Salvage in Wendell, Idaho has contained about 100 acres of steel, dreams, and potential projects. The business is in the process of closing itself out over time as we have been telling you over the last couple of years. If you have $3,000,000 in your pocket or something close you could buy the whole shooting match. If you just have one particular case that you want to work on, the chances are they they’ll have the stuff you need. Today we are going to take you inside L&L Classic Auto Salvage in a way we never have before and that is because of the great photos that Diana Sterk provided to us from the place.
The Idaho climate has acted to preserve these cars and trucks in ways that they would never have been in other places.There’s patina and wear on them that can’t be created in a paint booth or with even the best artist’s touch. Many of these cars are savable and don’t get us started on the trucks…ohhh the trucks!
We’ll let these amazing photos do the talking. Sincere thanks to Diana for the images!

I was by there twice in the last six weeks. Wish I knew this was there. May be back in three weeks and will stop.
Looks like I knew about it and forgot.
enjoyed the pictures – this was how the yards around here used to be: all old stuff with a few late models here and there – now its opposite: all late model crap with very few old ones sitting around….sad
There are so many hidden treasures in this place. It would take a person days to soak all of it in…
One of My 1st Junkyard adventures was at this one, when I was 20 Years old with my ex Girlfriends Dad… in 1982 Was amazing….
