Like hell he did. He was a straight up limited government Conservative. The Libertarians despised Reagan. Murry Rothbard, the father of the modern Libertarian movement and Ron Pauls mentor, wrote this on Reagan. It is a hate filled screed on Reagan and his ideals.
If you recall the '88 election, Paul ran in that race as a protest against Reagan. He hated him. This is from a LA Times interview from May 10, 1988.
Libertarians are neither Republicans or Conservatives. Just listen to the whacked out answers Paul had in the debate.

In 1975, Ronald Reagan stated, "I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism"
You need to learn the difference between Libertarianism as a Party and as a philosophy.
What 'whacked out answers' did Paul give?

You need to learn the difference between the Libertarian Party and the libertarian philosphy, which is individualism.
