I watched Chuck drive the 917 at Mosport years ago. And, yes, his shop showroom was a museum. One time I drove down to get some Conv D parts, and Chuck served me. I needed a left latch post of the door, so he pulled down the attic stairway and disappeared for a while before returning with a NOS Drauz part; sticker and all. He said that if hadn't come in person then I would have be shipped a cabriolet part needing modifications. He was a really great guy to talk to. The parts deals they had back in the mid to late 70's were awesome!
