KITT, the co-star (or as some would say, the REAL star) opposite David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight from the show Knight Rider, is now up for auction on eBay! This is all part of the estate sales of slain Greenwich businessman Andrew Kissel.
From the auction (Sorry, link fixed):
“This is one of the original vehicles from the series introduced initially in the third season and then re-converted to simulate the “Super Pursuit Mode” v
ariant of KITT that debuted in the 4th season and was later used in the Knight Rider made for television movie (1984) and for exhibition and promotional purposes. One of KITT’s many technologies. the “Super Pursuit Mode” was designed according to the show to give KITT a 40% increase in speed through the assistance of retractable airfoils and jet boosters.
Inside, a panel of lights and screens depicted a look at the future of automobile technology – a future that exists in some ways today!
This vehicle was most recently featured in the 2006 feature motion picture “The Benchwarmers” with Adam Sandler. This vehicle was adapted for that movie by George Barris Productions from which it was purchased in 2005 (original add inclu
ded) It was also featured on the Nick & Jessica Variety Hour.”
If you’re a Knight Rider fan, or maybe just want to own a big piece of television / movie history, now is your chance! Surprisingly, there are only 39 or so bidders, and the price is still just barely above 50k.
If one of our readers gets this car, I want a ride!
