From another forum regarding Woit....
His Corvette had a suspension failure on the freeway and hit a concrete K-rail. He also built a lifted 4wd Oldsmobile that he drove around the Hollywood Hills canyons.
And...
“Charlie was the wrench! He worked at the gas station on Crescent Hts and Sunset. He worked on some of Bud Ekins and Steve McQueens vehicles that regularly went down to Baja for the desert races. He was friends with both families, childhood pal of Joe Michiels.
Late 70's he was living in Canyon Country on Gazeley Street a couple of miles from me. On Sundays he would sell gold panning supplies at the Saugus Speedway swap meet. Interesting guy and probably far more to him than most knew. Avid miner, owned a placer mine called the Gentle Buzzard Mine.
He died on Vasquez Canyon Road near the 14 and was interred at Forest Lawn.
I only saw the Corvette a few times of times on Mulholland. I saw the lifted Oldsmobile around the valley quite a bit going up down Sepulveda and the 405 when it was actually still a freeway.”

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
