1964 Devin STK # 1111
Rare finds are fun to talk about but here is a 1964 Devin that was found in South Carolina. Taken home and completely disassemble and brought back to what you see here today. With the help of a few NASCAR race team paint, assembly and motor work brought this back to life. A Chevrolet 350ci V8 was bored to 355ci. The heads were checked to make sure they were true and had new valve springs and roller lifters. A new Holley Street Avenger 4bbl carburetor, mild roller Comp Cam, new bearings, knife edged crank, new oil pump, intake manifold, forged pistons, new rings, and new rods for an estimated 400hp. Shifting this car comes from a T10 rockcrusher 4 speed manual transmission with all new syncros getting the power to the Ford 9" rear end. The suspension is finished out with coilovers, panhard bar, new brakes, new springs and new shocks. This Devin has been registered and has been driven on the street. For more details on this vehicle or to inquire about financing please call us at 704-598-2130 or e-mail sales@streetsideclassics.com.

This Mustang had repairs done to the rear end panel, quarter panel and a replacement bumper.
The damaged area was painted white before the color coat because it helps the red cover better, known as a ground coat.
The basecoat used in this video is from BASF, RM Onyx and the Clear is Glasurits 923-200. The panel was final sanded with 800 grit paper, the repaired area was 500 grit.
