If it's a '63 R2 with 4 speed and orange interior, it's one of only 59 produced....just like the one in my garage.

Not that it matters, but I have R5408, R1 with A/C and 4spd. One of 23 built in 64. Gold with Elk interior.

Currently getting ready for paint.

Not that it matters (also), but I have R-5407, originally R1 and 4-speed, no AC, gray with Claret interior.

Now has engine problems and is going into garage for engine repair.  Paint (Avanti Maroon) will come later.

Dwight. Is that Walt Boetchers old car?

I’m amazed at some of the asking prices for used Paxton and the older McCulloch superchargers!

For anyone new to this game, I’d like to point out that most, if not all of these 20 to 60 year old units will probably need an overhaul which, these days, is an expensive proposition over and above the initial purchase price… So buyer beware!

I don't know.  I bought it from a man in South Carolina.  It had previously been in New York.  I never saw the name Walt Boetcher on any of the documentation.

Walt Bottjer owned R-5565. 

R2, Powershift, Gray with Claret interior.
