It was a company that is no longer around, and that is about all that needs to be said.

There's much more to the DEVEK story than Marc and Susan.. for a trip in the "way back machine" click the links and browse around....

"As 928 enthusiasts know, DeVore joined forces with Lucky Ekman and Red McClintock, forming Devek Performance."

Some of Deveks builds still live on today.....Tim Dey's 209.9mph stroker, which really was the version 2.0 of the car in the video & Louie Ott's 600whp stroker too....
