1973 Evel Knievel Toy


This was a toy that has burned a wheelie in my memory, thanks to two older brothers.
It was a wind up motorcycle with famous stuntman action figure Evel Knievel and ramp included. This toy was known to gain speeds of up to 2 miles per hour and jump over volumes of books and other random objects! I like the composition and the font of the poster that conveys the extreme action.

This was of the funniest toy I owned. You had to build it, add the electronics, and take it out to race. It was the greatest. The ones today are pre-built and that was half the fun.
