Cherrypicker

This car was never actually Evel's. It was used in his shows and for many promotional events. Popular Hot Rodding did a feature of it and the Pacer Pickup in the early eighties as the author and my dad drove Route 66 from California to our home in Kansas. The car, while beautiful in the red, white, and blue gala, was never more head turning when it was black. Evel also used the Pacer Pickup under the name "Lil Gopher" in many shows. It was sad seeing that Carl was selling the car though after so many years. I will post some pics later of the Z when it was in black. Just an FYI it was never meant to look like a corvette. For my money I've never seen a nicer car that was totaled and brought to life totally customized in less than 30 days. I wish they had reality shows back then, to see the hard work and creativity it took to make this project happen. He did it without a computer or any modern day tooling. Everything was free hand with a lot of blood sweat and tears!

Yes they are the same car. My dad tinkered and changed that car a half dozen times. It was never quite perfect enough for him. It was the most cool when it was this gorgeous black with smoked windows!

Just saw this. My dad is Carl Green and yes he did get the big block in. I remember when he was doing the project it made me think it would have been a great reality episode.
