Not in showroom condition, but I nice looking example. Needs a few things, but looks like a fun driver.

Saw this in a lot next to my work, and asked around and it sounds like the owner is a regular. If I'm lucky i'll figure out who owns it and get introduced, maybe go for a ride.

Could you tell if it had the Paxton on it?

You can tell by the chrome trim on the hood bulge, steering wheel, and seats. It's a real '64. The '63 round headlights are my favorites. Wouldn't turn this down though. Might even be an R2. The 4-speed manual really adds a lot of value to me.

Wouldn't know unless there's some what to tell beside looking at the motor.

I don't know enough about Studebakers to know how to tell.

How do you know? Is there a badge or something?

There is a badge and the hood is slightly different if I recall correctly.
