Trucking Evel

Oct. 8, 2015

The legendary daredevil Evel Knievel may be gone, but he is not forgotten. And with the help of Mack trucks, his legacy is now mobile. Mack recently partnered with the Historic Harley-Davidson dealership in Topeka, KS, and Lathan McKay of Evel Knievel Enterprises to revive the motorcycle daredevil’s legacy through a unique mobile exhibit housed in a fully restored 1974 Mack FS786LST model known as “Big Red.” However, two modern-day Mack Pinnacle tractors handle the transportation needs of “Big Red” and related Knievel memorabilia.
