When it comes to professional daredevil, nobody can touch the indelible legacy of Evel Knievel. The man likely inspired more little boys to break their arms while jumping their bicycle than anyone else as his death-defying feats mesmerized not only the youth but also those more experienced in life. It’s not difficult to understand why someone would pay dearly to own a thing closely connected to the man, especially a vehicle like his 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood El Deora.

The Cadillac crossed the auction block with no reserve over the weekend in Las Vegas, snagging $35,200. If that sounds like a steal to you, likely you should’ve registered for the auction and actually bid on this machine. It’s true that people will pay well over regular market value for a celebrity-owned vehicle. That certainly seems to have been a factor here, but Evel Knievel enthusiasts might believe this was a low amount to own a vehicle their hero drove.
