Who knows for sure why its in B&W but I suspect the creators may have archived it in B&W. You're right tho: I vaugely remember this in color in the early 70s.
i agree with blazinnoiseboy, thats all wanted was evel knievel stuff for christmas, he was my idol, thats why i broke both arms jumping my bike over shit, good ole 70's and 80's

Just curious why this is Black and White. It is originally in color. Did the color fade?
Thanks.

Evel Knievel- He and Muhammad Ali were my heroes in the 1970s.
Whatever happened to grown men with guts and gusto?

Same here. I was also an O.J. Simpson fan during the 1970's before he lost it.

I always thought the car looked like my mothers "74 AMC Gremlin. Good times!

Evel Knievel himself was in one of his commercials. It was not for this toy but for a bicycle race set.

I must've gone through half a dozen Evel Knievel stunt cycles when I was a kid. I loved those things.

I never broke anything, but it pissed my dad off to no extent when I found out I was jumping things.

Yours too, huh? My dad would go absolutely ape sh*t when he found me jumping things on my bike.
Anyone ever have the Evel Knievel Escape from Skull Canyon set?
