ARK II EPISODE 1 1976


Thanks to reader Jon for ID'ing this obscure vehicle and US TV series.

Check out the brilliant ARK II land vehicle!

How cool is that?

  1. Ark II would have been a favourite of mine in the 70's I'm sure, has all the right elements.

    The vehicle reminds me of a Skyship One engine

  2. If you love the Ark II design, you'll love the Seeker design from Space Academy. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q58nMb53aCo/W6VXo9Nz6RI/AAAAAAAAExQ/kTrA0OkD9lgMFhNPUXRI28hDqArBskwiwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Publication1edit.jpg

    When the Ark II series was over, CBS wanted their vehicle back only they had only paid for the rickety truck chassis the Ark had been built on. Lou Scheimer being a tough business man gave them what they had paid for an kept the Ark II body as Filmation had paid an built it. The boy was moidfied into the full scale Seeker prop.
