It is a 1962 Devin (Triumph Frame) and the actual car used in the Movie "State Fair" with Pat Boone and Ann Margaret. The race scenes were shot in OKC at the fairgrounds for the movie and after the scenes were shot, a guy bought it that lived in Midwest City, OK. and sold it to the 2nd owner in 1971 while he was still going to OU. It now resides in Norman, OK. Some alterations were made on the hood and the rear end by an owner that wanted to make a race car out of it. They also added a roll bar behind the headrest. It has a Chevy motor (which runs) and they replaced the 2 speed transmission with a Mustang Automatic tranny. The interior was stripped and used in a Corvette, so I will have to replace it and the windshield. https://www.devinspecial.com/featured-cars.html
