Details

The Gladiator was conceived and designed as a tribute to the legendary racing daredevil by Beau Boeckmann, president of Galpin Auto Sports, who lists Knievel as one of his childhood idols. Bold and brave as the late, great American icon for whom this F-150 Super Crew pickup was Galpinized, the Gladiator is a tribute to the very spirit of Evel Knievel, inside and out. Has red, white and blue leather works, custom blue dyed dash, door panels and interiors, red carbon fiber dash kit including steering wheel, door panels, armrest and cup holders, and custom EK badging. 5.4 Liter intercooled supercharged V8 motor, Bell Tech suspension with high pressure gas shocks and performance springs, upper and lower billet grille, along with a custom sight and sound package. June of 2002 Galpin Ford had a huge party to unveil the new truck at their dealership in Los Angeles with nearly 3,500 people attending the meet and greet to get an autograph or a photo with Evel. In addition, Evel used this event as a platform to announce his comeback to motorcycle jumping. One owner car with 11,900 actual miles.
