Bud is looking for info. and race history on his 1958 Devin Corvette Special


I have a Devin Corvette Special, that I got from my nephew after he acquired a Devin SS.  It has been raced on the vintage sports car circuit by my nephew and apparently others.  The engine is a 283 Chevrolet with 4 Stromberg 97's and a close ratio 4 speed gearbox.  It has what appears to be a GM frame highly modified with the drive-train angled to meet the 3rd member not far from the right rear wheel.  American magnesium wheels and Dunlop racing tires.  Rack and pinion steering and drum brakes all around.  A 12 gallon fuel cell for 112 octane leaded racing fuel and Halon fire suppression system.  It has an accusump system to pressurize the oil galleries prior to starting.
I would like to find out more about this car and it's racing history.  I'm told that it was featured in a sports car publication several years back.
 
Thanks,
E. H. Bud Knight of Solvang, CA
