Nelson, This is my time frame , and I do remember the car, but never saw the construction of it . I have been in the automotive aftermarket for the past 55 years and we still have issues shipping no drive-train cars. I have attached some photos that I took of Paxton Products a few years ago. The building looks the same as the 60's when Andy, Joe and Vince were there doing their Paxton and Novi magic. I do remember going there when the were dyno testing for Indianapolis and hearing the Novi engines screaming at hi RPM. Bob Caser

I enjoy being proven wrong, but I doubt that this car was shipped from South Bend to Santa Monica minus an engine. Even today it is still difficult to transport a car without a drive-train by common carrier. Bob Caser

In my case I took delivery of a new Avanti in October of 1963. It was dealer traded between a established dealer on Long Island, New York to newly appointed dealer in New Jersey. Both being hardly rural areas. I received no seat protection , no window sticker, and no warranty documents. I still own this car and have been hoping this was perhaps a oversight and some day I might receive from Studebaker Corporation all that was missing on that delivery day in October. Bob Caser

Sorry, but I did not know Gordon York Mills

Thank you, Nelson for the detailed information on R 1016. In 1965 I went to see Andy's son Vince who was doing performance conversions in Santa Monica not far from the Paxton facility. He was operating from a single bay in an existing gas station. At the time he was driving a turquoise 63 with a R3 engine installed and it had Appliance chrome slotted wheels on it. Maybe this was R 1016 or R 1025. Stay well.
