Title: Charlie's/Charles VW Shop in Santa Barbara?
Post by: Dave Galassi on June 13, 2011, 16:04:25 pm
Anyone ever hear of a shop with this or a similar name, in the Santa Barbara area in the 70's or 80's?  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Phil.  Just had a chat with Chip this week.  Looks like he's going to keep the roadster stock and rod the roadster P/U.  Wish he still had the ghia...........

I'll get on the Samba and check.
