All of the 65 Dodge & Plymouth AWB cars built were originally 2-door hardtop models, but some independent racers did use 2-door sedan's. Chrysler sold the fiberglass parts over the counter to racers, the complete set cost $410 and weighed just 80 pounds supposedly.

Bill Flynn's Yankee Peddler was the only factory sedan AWB car built. Built at Dick Branster's instead of Amblewagon.

Yes I should have been more clear about that earlier, and the magazine's including everyone that reads them say that it was the only factory backed 65 AWB sedan built, even though there were several 65 Hemi AWB sedan's built by privateer's. But it would be interesting if another one pops up out of the blue in the future and claims it had factory support as well?

S&M as a team was factory-supported. The original cars were part of the factory deal. Factory racers received parts, engines, and in the case of the Melrose Missile, a body. (The Missile was converted in CA from a 2% HT - 1 of 4 such '65s). Factory racers would have a contract that would spell out whether they were supplied street cars, as apparently S&M was, and apparently there were differences even among the factory racers, an example of which is their tow rigs. Privateer teams might receive some support from a dealership, or maybe some "back-door" parts, but were not on the same level of support as the guys with the original 10 AWB cars.
As far as claims of support or construction for any "newly discovered" cars, the original cars are known & accounted for, so any other claims would need to be supported by some VERY convincing paperwork, which I would bet doesn't exist.
