This is a 1948 Austin Devon Gasser my Dad built
in the mid 60's for the Santa Ana
Drags. Around 1968 he moved on to another car and this one was parked in a barn
in Fountain Valley Ca. After 45 years in storage I took it home in January of 2015. Some time in the 90's original
Dodge 383 motor was taken out and went into a friends project. I took this
on as a side project trying to use up extra parts I had around the shop. The
motor is a Chevrolet Performance 350 HO Base 350ci/333HP
with about 50k miles on it and about the same miles on the TH-350 transmission that came out of my old pick up. I tried to keep it as original as
possible, the rear end is out of a 1959 Chevy Station Wagon
with Henry's axles and 5:13 gears. All the suspension was home
made as you can see from the pictures. I rebuilt all the
wheel cylinders and installed a new master cylinder and brake lines so the
breaks do work . She has a all steel body with the hood and
front finders welded together, I did some minor body work and primed with urethane
primer. The interior is a close to original as possible from
the 1952 seat belts, and wood floor. She has a aluminum radiator and
electric fan, 2.5 gallon aluminum fuel tank new tires all the way around on old Crager rims, B&M trans cooler and Hurst shifter to mane some of the parts. The front window is 1/4 Lexan Poly Carbonate. She has a clean
title with current tags. She comes with fuel filler and cap, glass tail lights
the original 1952 olds 4 speed Hydramatic trans and a dropped axle with spring
and radius rods. She starts drives and stops but need a lot of work to be
road worthy. I have to many other projects to finish this one and I
need the space. Any question or if you would like to see more pictures just
ask. Thank you
