Im pretty sure thats the original Rund car. Molnar ran a 65 before his 66 W30. A friend of mine knew him when he had this 65 brand new, rode in it and fell in love with 65s.  |

Here is the history on the Rund 65.
This car was owned by John Molnar and originally got some sponsorship from Dave Menhart Olds in Wyandotte, MI. It was called "The Friendly Undertaker" because the Molnar family ran a funeral home. John later got a better deal at Doc Rund's (a dentist, no one remembers his first name) dealership with John Butash, sales mgr. The charcoal gray (or black?) 65 was re-named Rund's Tornado and that is the car that Vance Brady noticed and first helped John with.

Very cool pics. Reminds me of the first 442 I noticed as a kid. A local gas station always had a beautiful orange 442 drag car parked in the lot. It was named "BoutTime" and had the various sponsor stickers.
