I guess fiberglass has its advantages.

Yeah, until you get moisture into the gelcoat...just like an old boat or surfboard, pretty soon there is gelcoat sperating...LOL

Cool graveyard though ... lots of restorables there.

Why, oh why, weren't they store in Tucson, AZ instead?

Worked in a Davie Fla. junkyard in 1972....yup we would bang in a car before going near it to allow for resident snakes to leave their shelter.

I've found that a lot of vintage European sportscars and imports are usually found more in the upper mid-west and along the Eastern seaboard than elsewhere in the country. Found that true when I was looking for a '48 Anglia project to build in to a 'gasser' about 7 years ago...only found a couple east of the Mississippi and they were in CA. Same thing a friend of mine found when restoring a '57 MGA in the '80's there just weren't any to be found in CO junkyards.

Speaking of fiberglass, I saw this at a friend's house after Cars and Coffee today.  It's an original Devin body that has never been built into a car.  He's had it for decades and bought some part, faring, hinges, etc.) directly from Bill Devin before he died.  I have some doubts as to it ever being actually built into anything, particularly when he showed me the Devin chassis, which was several long pieces of channel and some tubes, all of which had to be cut and welded.

Now that's a basic kit car.  Doesn't look like it even has a smooth gel coat finish on it.  Bet it warped too from hanging with no structural supports.  At least the fiberglass is well cured! 

Yeah, there is no built-in structure to this and the frame is a bunch of pieces of metal stock.  "Some assembly required" is a serious understatement.

From history of FiberFab-

 A gentleman by the name of Noel Johnson, who was an early employee of Fiberfab and the last General Manager (and part owner) of it's manufacturing facility,said that Fiberfab began in 1964. There was a two seat fiberglas sportscar known as the Devin, a neat little car, but one which required considerable work to make it "seamless with it's chassis. The car was not made by Fiberab, but Fiberfabs founder, Mr. Goodwin, liked the concept and some of it's features.
