Knight Rider Car for Sale

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-work-for-the-knight-foundation dept.

It's time to put on your leather jacket and get ready to hit Turbo Boost. The talking 1982 Pontiac Trans Am from the 80's hit Knight Rider is up for sale. No word on if it comes with David Hasslehoff but with a price tag of $149,995 I'm sure it won't be on the lot for long. I wonder how much the Knight Foundation will give me on a trade in for Magnum PI's Ferrari?

  1. One car? by parasonic · · Score: 2, Informative

    For the television show, fifty or so of these cars were produced, so it wouldn't be as hard as you would think to purchase one. Then, of course, you could always build one!

      FTFA: 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.

  2. Bah get a replica instead for far less by Lumpy · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look online the guy that makes the replicas can give you a turn key for less than $70,000 that is complete and to match the season you want.

    Paying huge $$$ for the origional from a B rated Tv show is silly unless you are trillionaire collector. That prop will not go up in price like other items out here.

    Can't watch it anymore. It may have appealed to the teenage me, but now you just wince to see David Hasselhoff bantering with the car. Of course, mind you, the car was far more intelligent than Pamela Anderson...
