1960 Devin-Bodied Triumph TR3: A One-of-a-Kind Creation with a
Roaring V8
Prepare to turn heads with this extraordinary 1960 Devin-Bodied
Triumph TR3! This Devin Super Sport (SS) recreation, registered
Stock # DGC9651 and VIN TS559651 titled as a 1960 Triumph TR3. Car
is built upon a modified 1960 Triumph TR3 frame. Very little of the
original TR3 remains beyond the frame. This custom machine
seamlessly blends vintage aesthetics with modern performance. The
stunning Devin Super Sport (SS) style body, finished in a brilliant
red, is a testament to classic sports car design. The body and
paint are in excellent condition, with no known flaws.
Between 2008 and 2014, Diamond Motor Sports of Hopkins, Minnesota,
transformed this TR3 into the head-turning ride you see today.
Under the hood roars a 383ci Chevrolet V8, fed by an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor and mated to a smooth-shifting TH350
three-speed automatic transmission. The engine's history (whether
new, rebuilt, or otherwise) is unknown. The speedometer reads 8
miles, though the accuracy and total mileage are unconfirmed. The
interior is molded seamlessly into the Devin body, featuring custom
black seats. Further enhancements include:
Side-exit exhaust for a distinctive sound
Faux headlight decals and front driving lights
Modern LED tail lights
Polished 15? American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are mounted with
Primewell PS830 tires.
GM-sourced four-wheel disc brakes for enhanced stopping power
A robust 9" Ford rear end with 3.50:1 Ford differential with
31-spline axles with Posi Traction.
16-gallon JAZ Products fuel cell.
This Devin was originally built for the Publisher/CEO of Vintage
Motor Sports Magazine. This was to be her dream car. She looked for
a long time and was finally able to source an original Devin body.
The build was started in 2009 and completed in 2014. The current
owner was told that that this car was never raced and that she
mostly only drove it back and forth to her office.
The owner took possession of this vehicle in 2015 as a downpayment
on a real estate transaction. He took full possession of it in 2019
and it has a clear Montana Title in the name of the owner's LLC
dated 09/19/2019.?This vehicle has not been on the road since 2015
and has been in storage since then. It has only been brought out a
couple of times to be put in Car Shows that were held in our RV
Resort.
This Devin-bodied TR3 is more than just a car; it's a custom
creation that embodies the spirit of performance and classic
style.
