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.

Contact the seller here.

In reply to JakeMacZ :

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
