Notes: New car debuted in August 1965. | “This is 1965, at Carlsbad [Calif.]. It looks like the other car but I know it’s not because it has Enderle [injectors] on it and has a front wing. That’s a [Tom] Hanna wing. Wings were the first thing he sold. He teases me because he remembers me calling to buy the wing and bragging that I was kind of a hot dog up here.” (info from Phil Burgess, NHRA.com, interview with Ruth, referring to his 65 car and comparing it to the car pictured in the 64 entry).
