The K-10’s EV conversion from Rich Rebuilds was featured in the docu-series “Downey’s Dream Cars” on Max.
an extensive conversation with actor Robert Downey Jr.. Though, the heart of the conversation was about his mission to make the planet a bit greener while having a little fun at the same time. It was all part of the run up to his show on Max “Downey’s Dream Cars.” Each episode saw Downey “eco-modding” a car from his personal collection., the actor announced that he would be giving away all six cars featured in the show through a sweepstakes. Since that announcement last year, a lot has changed.
Known as the “Thanos Thumper” in a previous life, the ’72 Chevy K-10 was equipped with a supercharged V-8 and sprayed with a purple and gold paint scheme. When Downey chose it to be the first eco-modded vehicle for the show, the K-10 was sent off to Rich Benoit ofon YouTube for its EV conversion. After Rich and his team finished the conversion, the K10 was wrapped in battleship grey and had its interior completely redone.
You can watch the whole process in the first episode of Downey’s Dream Cars streaming on Max. With the K-10 gone, Downey still has five more cars to give away including: a 1969 Mercedes Benz 280 SE, 1965 VW Bus, 1966 Buick Riviera, 1965 Chevy Corvette convertible, and 1985 Chevy El Camino. Each vehicle has been eco-modded in a different way to make them more environmentally friendly, but that doesn’t mean they’re all EV-converted. For example, the 280 SE which belonged to Downey’s late mother was converted to run on biodiesel.. Proceeds from the entries go to Downey’s FootPrint Coalition, a global environmental advocacy group, and its charitable partners. You don’t have to purchase entries to win.
