Evel Knievel’s famous jumpsuit and diamondencrusted walking cane are up for auction!
All hail the King of the Stuntmen and bask in the big-jump glow of the great man’s big collar jumpsuit and supercool cane.
If you’re an Evel Knievel fan then it’s time to raid the piggybank because the world’s most famous stunt man’s most recognisable bits of personal kit are up for auction right now through the Heritage Capital Corporation, based in Dallas, USA.
Knievel’s iconic 1972 jumpsuit (this was the suit that he first appeared in with the famous ‘V’ line of stars on his chest instead of the previous ‘X’, the white leather and the oversized collar and cuffs plus the zip-in flares) and his diamond-topped, golddetailed walking cane with secret compartment for carrying liquor (usually Wild Turkey in Knievel’s case) are now on sale.
At the time of writing the King of the Stuntmen’s suit is currently sitting at $30,000 (£23,898) with the cane at $17,000 (£13,542).
