Devin panhard

I saw the ruffstuff post on panhard bars and it reminded me of Doc Shoenins Devin (Fiberglass body) Panhard (French Panhard engine and running gear) H Modified car he used to race back in the late 60's. This is one Idea the French got right.

Some pretty neat pages online about this: http://www.devinsportscars.com/Panhard.html is the one I'm looking at right now.

Thanks Tacoma, really enjoyed going back in time with your post. The Devin I am familiar with was one of the originals with the Panhard 750 cc engine that raced in SCCA H-modified class. He was always beaten by Frank Copeland in a BMW 700 sedan. The motorcycle engine by itself cost over $10 k back then and was a real screamer.

I forgot to mention that the Panhard was a two cylinder 4 stroke engine.
