Picture perfect day. Dave (ngtflyr) and I were headed from Sacramento to Travis AFB on our way to train some Galaxy aircrew in night vision googles earlier this week and we stopped by Charley's place to check out his collection. Wow http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif ! Pretty nice set up you have there Charley http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif and thank you for your hospitality http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif . The Marina Blue '67 435 is breath taking. The RS/SS L89 is very studly. And the Snake, well let's just say "beauty and the beast" describe it. The engineering on the "Final Objective" is other-worldly http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Hey Charley - if you don't mind could you send one your ranch hands down toward the south end (I think http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif ) of your plantation. Dave and I have been trying to get off of your spread since Tuesday..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Nice P-51 tribute car. One of a kind. 1967 Pace Car is the real one that was used to pace the Indy 500.
Good going Charlie! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Charley....you have am awesome garage and many beautiful cars! My personal favorite is your 70 Z28...Shadow Gray is so very rare on 70 Z's and I'd love to see more pics. Can you post some pics of the 70 Z ? I'd just love to see them! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

"Charley's Garage?" more like "Charley's Facility." We have avionics integration lab clean rooms than are not as sanitary as that.
And those are SIMULATED guns on the side of your P-51 tribute car, right Charley?

Above shot is SO realistic, that if I had taken the photo from a couple of feet to my left, I would NOT have been able to show this photo to you on this family oriented web site http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif !

The green on the interior is dead-nuts correct for the paint color used in many U.S. military aircraft. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

I bet that old 55 isn't even numbers matching and I know the Silver Camaro isn't!

I was there a while back and the only car I couldn't get him to fire up was the '55 Chevy.

Hey Charley,
Meant to ask this question while at your shop:
I think you said you had a Hepa Filter set up at your car display garage (talk about dust-free http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif !) How is that set up? Is it integrated into your HVAC. How expensive is it to run (electricity, replacement filters, etc.)
Thanks,
Sam

The quality of the restoration of Charley's blue 435 is the best and most authentic that you can get. Put that with a real blue/white 435 with its original motor makes it a great buy at $200K. Should easily Top Flight & Bloomington Gold.
