63R-1025 was a development vehicle. It was sold by Studebaker to Paxton products. The factory to dealer invoice was printed with a vehicle cost of $500, a bunch of other charges, and a net amount. The vehicle price was scratched out and a normal price hand written, then the bunch of other charges, then a big credit with a final net price of $500. It was used by Paxton and driven with California Manufacturer plates until eventually sold to Vince Granetelli as a 65 Studebaker. I have his bill of sale to the man that I purchased it from, so ownership was Paxton Products, Bill Alderman, then Ronald Crall purchased it about 45 years ago. According to my conversation with Andy G a few years ago, it was his daily driver and he personally raced it at Riverside beating Hemi's in the 1/2 mile drags held at the time. He said it held the 1/2 mile record for awhile, and since 1/2 mile events ended not long after, may still have that distinction. Attempts to get records from Riverside have yielded nothing.
