I smell a rebody coming somewhere down the road. The car is worthless.

Well in that case, i guess it's only right to cart it off to the junk yard and forget about it.

Very neat when the moon and stars align and someone makes an extraordinary find like this once in awhile. It has only happened to me once. Still waiting for number two. Congrats to the buyers.

The Coyote and Roadrunner will not show up with the Acme Restoration Kit for this car (no reproduction parts available). 0202 will have to be restored the way it was originally built by very talented craftsmen one part at a time.

I'd say a conservative number is 10,000 hours plus materials, it will be over a million.

Looks like a Ferrari Emblem on the front and prancing horse on the rear.

Cool Find, Congrats.

Wow, what a story!!! .
I remember even looking at this on eBay myself and thinking it looked like a bad deal even as a supposed Devin! .
Thanks for the great facts Fred!!!

I was wondering what the hell the Ferrari emblems were doing on a Devin.

Amazing story!!!
