Complete, unbuilt, barn-find Devin 295 bodywork

Wish your sports car looked even sportier? Devin to the rescue.

Between 1955 and 1964, this American firm offered a wide range of fiberglass sports car bodies–swoopy, flowing bodies that recalled contemporary Italian designs.

What chassis went with these bodies? Whatcha got? Devin built its panels in a range of sizes, allowing a complete body to fit MGs and Triumphs to Corvettes and T-birds.

This particular Devin 295 body was never built or mounted. “Condition is very close to as removed from the molds aside of some light scuffs and scratches from being in a barn since the ’60s,” notes the seller. “All panels are there, and it has a molded-in cockpit which was an extremely rare option for the 295 bodies, according to Kreg from the Devin Registry. Nothing is cut or warped.”

The price for this time-warp Devin? $5000. If it doesn’t go soon, the seller notes, it goes up for auction. The body is located just outside Cleveland.

That sounds ominous when you put it like that.

And here’s the direct link to the IG post about the body. 

We know the seller, too.

I saw someone on his IG mentioning this on a Miata. Just throwing it out there.

If I were to buy this I would be very tempted to leave it unpainted.  laugh
