K.I.T.T Is A Hit On Ebay
The 'original' Kitt car from the hit 1980s television show KNIGHT RIDER is up for sale on Internet auction website eBay or at least thats what we were told in the papers today. The black 1984 Pontiac Trans Am, which has a flashing red light on the front is already attracting bids up to £16,000 on the site but it seems that the car is not an original, but just a very good restoration.
After being released from its film duties, KITT found its way into the show circuit by promoting many Budweiser World of Wheels car shows for a number of years. After its tour of duty, the car was in need of restoration and in 2001 the owner approached Mark Scrivani of Mark's Custom Kits to restore the vehicle.
Auto Blog commented, "This is a picture-perfect reproduction of the Knight Industries 2000. Unfortunately, after all that money and man-hours, the gooey center is still an '80s F-Body. Canadian seller Zapper80 has done an awesome job putting this car together, and claims a cost of over $40,000 CDN. Zapper80 cites original molds as the source for some of the body parts, which leads us to believe that the car was put together from the wealth of parts and information available from the enthusiastic Knight Rider fans on the web. The amount of information, and lines of communication back to KITT designer Michael Scheffe are truly astounding."
