That would be Chip Gerst. He used to reside in NJ, then moved to CA. First brokering cars for Coddington, then hooked up with Reggie.
He's the "big" fellow you always see standing next to Reggie on the auction block at BJ.

it needed work when I saw it and there was also a title problem.It had a T 400,no exhaust and plexi windows when I saw the car.The price was very right at the time so NBD to put back correct.Tom

It was the only S/D With factory Plexiglass Windows that I had ever seen. I believe the factory exhaust would have been a single muffler and tail pipe.

tjs44,

Have seen the Packer '63 and I don't recall it having plexi windows. I was at Dan Jensen's where it was stored by Scott Tieman until owner picked it up. Have a bunch of pics...

Interesting thing about the frame is that the holes were punched BEFORE the metal of the frame was bent to make the frame. Holes did not line up but overlaped each other. Single exhaust, no radio, heater, or anything else. Scott had a '62 SD Alum he was working on at the time.

Don't recall Scott or Dan saying anything about the windows. Doesn't mean they did not say anything. I guess I could e'mail them and find out.
