[DeTomaso] If you ever saw a Devin at a vinatage race and wanted to build one

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

I think this guy is legit, just cleaning out a warehouse and/or raising cash
doing so.

Obviously a newer casting of a Devin body but the work looks good, I wonder
if this is a guy who works in the industry and these were picture car
projects or something.  The original Devin bodies weren't aleways that well
laid.

Devins had quite a history and are fun to watch, of course like all home
made racers of that era, it'swhat you put underneath that matters most, I'd
love to see one with the same
thought process and workmanship that gets put into a super nice Cobra
replica,, but having said that, even a crappy Cobra can always be resold,
not so sure about a Devin, because the Dr., Dentist sand Lawyers who buy
lots of Cobra
Kits want an easy to identify body shape and the implication of value (
yeah, it's REAL ).

and Yes, I want a SWuperformance Cobra replica too and a Cobra Daytona and a
GT40 - cause If I had an extra 10 million to get one of each of the real
ones, I wouldn't do it because I'd be too afarid to drive at 10/10ths
and replica can be fixed or replaced.  But If I still had the 10 million,
there would be a few 812 Cords missing on the market.
