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. No David, and more caveats. by strredwolf · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you check further in, you'll find out that even though it's perfectly restored, it's illegal to drive -- KITT isn't enviromentally friendly currently. Nice to tow to various conventions, though!

      Not quite correct. It's quite legal to drive cars of that vintage - so long as their original anti-pollution systems are intact. KITT's are not. (Which means it would not have been street legal even then.)

    Maybe this is a job for the smashmyipod crew - they've never failed to raise the funds yet...

  3. No mention of its designer... by Mick+Ohrberg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...Jay Ohrberg, who also designed and/or built such notable vehicles as the original cruiser for RoboCop (not the spraypainted Taurus we now know), the 100' limo, the original Bat-mobile (designed by George Barris), the Pink Panther car, and a handful other more or less practical vehicles.
