Devin Special 283
The Devin Special is a 1960s fiberglass-bodied roadster, powered by a 283ci Chevrolet V8. Built on a narrowed frame from a 1950s Chevrolet, it features an Offenhauser intake manifold, quadruple Stromberg carburetors, and runs on an M20 four-speed manual transmission. The car includes a roll hoop, acrylic windscreen, and rides on American Racing wheels with Koni adjustable coilovers. Extensive equipment like a fire suppression system, oil accumulator, and Jones tachometer enhances its racing readiness. Initially raced in vintage events, it has seen extensive refurbishment over the years, including recent carburetor rebuilds and an ATL fuel cell installation. Offered with a SOVREN logbook, it requires further tuning for regular use.
