True fact: I have never in my life, played with one of these….

My friend, if you have truly never played with one of these I daresay, your 70's experience was not complete. Evel Knievel is a strong contender for greatest toy line ever. Bendy figures, lots of different vehicles, durable enough to take jumps off the patio or roof, and a hand cranked motor, the sound of which still brings me nostalgic delight to this day. I hope you get to indulge some day soon.
