..... I want to see you start it up on the stage <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

[foster]

...... i would hate too fill it up with cam 2!!!

[mockingbird812]

Charley gave ngtflyr Dave and I a personal tour of this other-worldly creation. It is some of the finest, most innovative engineering I have ever witnessed (have seen some impressive Naval &amp; Air Force pieces in my day). Best of luck Charley. If the buyers appreciate what this is, it could be a big, big seller. This car has its own magazine dedicated to it!!!!

Best of luck &quot;special&quot; Charley!!!! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Epic example of a Day 1,825 car (the driver's the &quot;survivor&quot;!)! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

[jbsides]

B-J put a nice color full page spread on it in the January 2012 edition of HMN, page 111.

Really?
&quot;I,m special&quot;?????

Reminds me of the song my 17 year old step son sings: &quot;His mamma dropped him on his head... and now he's special ed...&quot;

Seriously, I may have to go the the auction just to see this one.
Best of luck with the sale.

[Charley Lillard]

Did I mention this car takes 19 gallons of motor oil ?

[Stefano]

That sounds like approx 152 pints.

[mockingbird812]

Did u do that w your shoes on Stefano?

[Charley Lillard]

I think it is 100 Litres

[SS427]

If you have never had the pleasure of hearing this car go through the fire up procedures, you must. Just like listening to a real P51 fire up. When I saw it at Steve Sandlin's party Charley even yelled &quot;CLEAR&quot; out the window for effects. It worked! Awesome build to say the least. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

[Xplantdad]

I'll post the video I took of it there Rick...and the end...Patrick Crook steps into the shot <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif

[ORIGLS6]

Cool car for Power Tour, ........... except for the limited luggage space, ..... and the right-hand drive. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

I think it is 100 Litres

How many miles since the last oil change???

[mockingbird812]

Flight miles or ground miles?

Here's the video....click on the picture to play it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

And, my mistake...Mr Crook stepped in front of the camera when they started Steve's race Camaro :P

[Mr70]

Somebody asked me what the Jan. 2012 page 111 HMN ad meant,where it said Charleys' '55 will be &quot;Sold On Bill Of Sale Only.&quot;
Told him I would imagine that meant that you will not get a title for it,most likely because it's not street legal anywhere in the USA.
Correct?

[Charley Lillard]

The car could be street legal in the US but it does not have a vin tag. Guy that restored it thought the trim tag was the vin tag. Was street legal in Australia.

[SS427]

Charley, if you have gotten bored with that car maybe you could start a project using your Isetta and build one of these.....

[Stuart Adams]

As soon as they start that up at the auction, you will see a bunch of wigs and toupee's flying off all the old coots. Should be cool.

[black69]

that car belongs in some type of rambo movie.
or wait....
Mad Max movie!

very nice charlie

[bashton]

So I guess my offer of $188, two bags of Doritos, lifetime VIP passes to MCACN, an autographed Colin Comer Shelby book and my endless gratitude wasn't enough?

Good luck with the sale, Charles!

[Dicky]

:haha:

[Kim_Howie]

Charley, WOW what a car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[resto4u]

Looks like a future ron pratt car?

[Charley Lillard]

Made it to Scottsdale and I brought most of the display.

[TimG]

Are you right by the door for test drives?

[bergy]

I have a pilot's license &amp; I can fly that thing. The taxi might be a little tricky though.

[Mr70]

How much you paying your models?
....they're very good.

[Born30YrsLate]

The Ma-Deuce is a nice touch... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Charlie,
Did you figure out why it wouldn't fire ? Would have been awesome to hear that beast go up the ramp.
Martin

[Sportyworty]

I was bummed for Charley. The sound of the car on approach would have changed the entire scenario. Heck the engine is worth than the high bid but when it does not run perceptions change.

[70 Forest Green Zee]

I saw Charley in the staging lane on TV but fell asleep before his car went over the block.......did his car sell and if so, for how much?????

[Xplantdad]

Hi Charley...sorry to hear that it didn't work out. It was good to see and talk to you anyways!

At least you can watch the &quot;Niners&quot;. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[TDW]

They didn't show the car on the block. Another stinkin commercial at that time. The announcer said it was bid to 200, but was a no sale. The announcer also commented that the engine alone is worth a million.

Hey, someone called me for my closeup! And for the record, it's Mr. Krook, thank you very much. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif
