L&L Classic Auto Wildcat Pt2

[Wonderwagon]

Visited L&L Classic Auto today on a very brisk day on the high planes. Kinda of a sad and happy place lots of cars once cared for. Good stock of cars from the 40's, little less 50s and 60s. For the E-body haters only one car total gutted. A good xsection of A and B bodies, decent representation of C bodies and early Imperials/ forward look cars. Also, two things folks have been looking for, saw a spare tire cover for a c-body wagon and gas tank. Hope it helps. Found some back up threshhold/ kick plates. have one vin plate, tried for more time was limited hour and a half out of Boise and need to get back. Therte was a lot of walking up and down hills through scrub brush. Pictures next:

If you have time Hines auto wrecking in Mountain home is a better stop. In my opinion L&L is a pain to deal with

Can't wait to go out there this summer. Is Hines the same as Jim's Vintage?

 

[Wonderwagon]

Checked Jims vintage, online stock, no cars I'm interested in, 69 fusalge wagons and verts. L&L has wagons, helpful on phone at least to me, in person; haggled on price, was satisfied. Some people think wildcat is a pain. Have nothing but good to say about them. My experience has been good, I've bargained, some, but excepted prices when they hold the parts I want. Sometimes one has to pay the price when you say I want. cheers enjoy the pics. Anyone have suggestions of where else to go let me know, I travel 40 some weeks a year

That's the kind of place I was looking for when I was out West. No one I talked to knew of any, in-laws, store clerks, park rangers, police officers...


Looks like a good time

Curious if you drove out there, or are shipping your parts back this way? Sounds like a ton of fun, I also hope to also visit a yard with old C bodies in it someday, thanks for sharing your experience.

I think I'm fortunate, the interior parts for the back of my wagon are boxed, and squirreled away in one of the trucks I travel with. Hopefully they will be safe until mid summer. Thinking about flying home for my stop in Denver. Driving my 13 Challenger back for a little twist and turns. Then up Pikes Peak, then a drive home with parts for a week off. Wish I was going to Spokane to check out the yard that is closing
