Notes: Bud Faubel's factory success got him one of the factory cars converted by Amblewagon in late 1964-early 1965. He DROVE it in white paint from Detroit to Chambersburg, PA, upon receipt to break in the driveline for the 1965 race season. Soon after, this car won the AHRA Winter Nationals, becoming the first 'funny car' titleholder. Faubel ran The Honker first on gas, then injected fuel, posting a runner up to Bobby Harrop at the 1965 Super Stock Nationals 'Top Stock Heads Up' eliminator as well. This AWB car was also run in 1966 and was one of three factory cars Faubel drove in 1965. The others were the former Owens, Pearson Cotton Picker, and a twin-turbo Dodge experimental. This car survived in remarkably good shape, was found with most of its original paint intact and is now owned by Mopar parts authority Jim Kramer. The photo shown is likely from Maple Grove Raceway in 1966 and appears classed for NASCAR's Unlimited Stock division. Bud was at Dover Drag Strip on April 25 for a best of five match race against Doc Burgess. Doc's Plymouth was an all-steel Super Stock car. Due to this, it was decided to give Burgess a two-tenths handicap. In the first race, Doc's 10.73 beat Faubel's 10.47, but Bud came back to win the next two races with times of 10.37/132 and 10.38/136. Burgess was given a three-tenths handicap start for the fourth race, but Faubel's Dodge was still too strong as Bud ran 10.31 to win the match over Doc's 10.69. On July 31, he was at York U.S. 30, where he set a record for unblown, stock-bodied cars with a 9.76/141.28. Perkasie PA (10/29/65 National Dragster) Sharon PA (9/24/65 Drag World)
