My brother had a Devin K Star powered by an Olds. The car was originally 1 of 20 made by Bill Devin and run on the Salt Flats. The front clip looked identical to a cobra and the rear looked similar to an Austin Healey 3000. The car weighed around 1900 lbs and was blindingly fast especially in 1969. My brother thoroughly enjoyed running SS 396's and earlier Goats because he could hook up faster with less wheel spin. Unfortunately the trans didn't have a blow proof bellhousing and we learned how dangerous clutch and pressure plate fragments were and how hot trans fluid is! Fortunately neither of us lost body parts but it really did a number on the tunnel and firewall.
