Met him and got his autograph at the Hall of Fame dinner in Carlisle. He was a nice man.
Godspeed "Hemi Honker"

Bud was one of my favorite drivers.His history with Chrysler driving some of the fastest,wildest cars they came up with.I would visit with Bud & Mrs Faubel Always enjoyed his stories about when he was a pilot and how he drove his CTS around the country to allthe events!

Rest in piece Bud,prayers for the family

I've never heard a bad word said about Bud, and drag racing was only a small part of what his life touched. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

My favorite SS racer. In my opinion, he never got the credit he deserved.

RIP Bud.

We know mr. Faubel in the mopar community as a colorful and well mannered man as well as a national record holder in his altered wheel base mopar. However he was also a decorative fighter pilot in both the Korean War and Vietnam war. He served our country with honor and greatness.

Bud and his wife were also accomplished "ball room dancers" which acconts for their array of colorfull outfits.
We will miss Bud and our condolances go out to his family and friends.
