Knight Rider car for sale
April 22nd 2008 23:39
KITT, the flame-throwing, river-jumping, talking muscle car from the 80s TV show Knight Rider, is up for sale.
In case you didn't know, there's already a new series of Knight Rider being screened in the States, but we're not talking about that, we're talking oldschool KITT.
the coolest photo in the world...
Johnny "Vette" Verhoek of Kassabian Motors has had the car, officially called Knight Industries Two Thousand, on display for about a month.
It is one of four documented "camera cars" used for close-up shots and scenes where David Hasselhoff, who played Michael Knight in the series, was behind the wheel.
Although it cannot achieve the 300 mph speeds that KITT reached, soar 50 feet in the air or throw smoke bombs, key features of the star car are intact.
Perhaps most important, the red scanner light on the nose glows and makes a humming noise.
The car has two working video screens on the dashboard, and the cockpit features buttons that light up in green, yellow and red.Most of the buttons don't do anything, Verhoek said. Nor can the car hold a conversation or drive itself.
The car belongs to Tim Russo of Livermore, a Kassabian customer who figured now was a good time to test the market, with the 25th anniversary of the shows debut coming up.

It was at a recent exotic car show in Celebration, FL. Fatone bought the car at an auction and restored it to its original show-ready condition.
