This Devin SS was bought from Bill Devin himself by Ed Henning of Charleston, South Carolina, in 1988. During its two-year restoration it was fitted with a 1970s Chevy 350 V-8 with 4 two-barrel Weber carbs and an estimated four hundred bhp. In 1990, the automobile took three first-place class wins in vintage racing in Colorado, at Street America in Wisconsin, low speed high torque motor and Highway Atlanta.­
