Ok, I'll start: is it a Devin Special, right? Is it from the States?

I've just wasted 30 minutes of my life looking through Australian Holden specials.

It doesn't say on the site but I guess you're right.

It's a good place to start looking, but unfortuntely I don't know what engine it had.

A really wild guess - anything to do with Frank Coad?

Well that took me a long time - I guessed at a date of 1960/62 but then I noticed the very wide rims, and realised it was much later.

It's 1972 ! I'm still pretty sure the car was built a lot earlier than that, but it's R.Watson in his Nauticus at Oran Park. I can't find anything on the net about this car.

Yes, I didn't think it would take you long now!
That's all I know about the car too; maybe it has a Holden engine but I haven't been able to find anything out either.
Well done.
