This listing is about as cool as they come anda real piece of history. This listing is for the Evel Knievel Prototype Junior Hot Seat Trike made by AMF and sent to Barris Kustoms to create the Harley Davidson inspired Trike. As you can see from the box, this was sent to Barris before AMF created the Knievel Graphics (true prototype) on the box. The box graphics have the Black and Red trike on the box cover, but if you look inside, you can see the correct Evel Knievel colors. So, we believe AMF had not released the Knievel version Hot Seat yet, so this was probably one of the first Knievel Colored hot seat trikes. Evel Knievel wanted George Barris to create a full-size version so they could market the AMF toy line. In fact, Evel wanted full size versions of all his toys, so he could take all the full-size versions on tour with him and put them in his movies. We are not sure if AMF sent George Barris 2 of these, and he put one together and left this one un-built. Or if they just sent him this one, and George built the full-size trike without putting the toy trike fully together. But it was sent to George Kustoms to his North Hollywood address and is ATTN: to George Barris. Also, on the box it is written "you will create" we think was written by George Barris himself, letting him know we will build a full size version. It really is a piece of history connected to a couple of the biggest American Legends. But this Prototype Trike is unique among our collection and is offered now for the first time. Please check out the photos and ask any questions. In our opinion, the this one of the coolest and most valuable items in the AMF Evel Knievel toy line being connected to both legends! Perfect for the Toy Collector, Evel Knievel or Extreme Sports fan… Thanks for checking out my listing and let us know if you have any questions. Plus check out some of the other Evel Knievel and Harley Davidson items listed in our shop!
