OlderThanMe Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 evel knievel had a sweet chopped Z...let me go find it... well it's not chopped but it is highly modified... maybe it is chopped... notice the scaab fenders WITH flares...wide... I know where there is a Z with that same body kit is in a junkyard...flares and all. Except an L-88 hood, different front and missing the whale tail...who knows it could be the same car...it even has the same wheels... 4 lug up front and 5 in back...nah...the one in the junkyard still has it's quarter window though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlderThanMe Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 they used it in the myth about how fast could a matchbox car go...they put the 280 against a wall, jacked the rear end off the ground, and used the wheel to move wheels on a matchbox car upto critical speed where it just flew off.

veritech-z Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 "man, evel, put some air in those tires before you jump the snake river canyon!" "listen here sonny, i was breaking bones jumping over stuff before you were born, i'll tell you when i have enough air in my tires. and stay in school." funny story about evel and me: when i broke my ankle in three places skateboarding, the orthopedic surgeon that i went to said evel had broken his hip in st. pete playing golf, and they were the office that did the repair. had his picture up and everything. true story.

cygnusx1 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 I remember in the mid 90's hearing an interview with a hair-band rocker who was describing taking his 280Z down the highway in CA, rolling it over three times, and walking away. Can't remember who it was though...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
