So it looks like the last two decades have been hell on the once proud Knight Industries: after a disastrous attempt to leech onto the dotcom boom by having Michael Knight trawl the internet for cyber-criminals with his virtual sidekick
C.L.I.P.P.Y., the company was forced to disband its FLAG division and sell off most of its assets, including cars, semi-trailers, and saddest of all, RC3 and Bonnie. The upside of this blow to vigilante law enforcement was that car nuts could finally get their hands on an original Knight Industries Two Thousand (only ten were ever made), with a version
hitting the auction block in 2004, and now one of the four original K.I.T.T.s up for sale by a California business. Kassabian Motors is offering the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am V-8 for a cool $150,000, which gets you a restored interior, those retro light up controls, and of course the snazzy red nose scanner, but unfortunately, no oil slick or Super Pursuit Mode. Finally, as a special bonus to overseas bidders, Kassabian will also reportedly retrofit the car with a CD changer sporting all of David Hasselhoff's many hits at no additional charge: "Michael, we seem to have a problem; these songs totally suck."

let me know when they auction off K.A.R.R.
Screw K.A.R.R... give us Goliath! :)
Goliath? what about The Monster Car?!?
all that purty gold ...
Does it talk back
So is KITT the fifth cylon?
And what about that rare unaired episode where a ton of Chinese copies flood the crime-solving-car market.
The only way they could tell is when they tried to format 'em.
I'm still looking for the costume from "The Greatest American Hero"...was it just me or did that symbol on his chest look just like the green lantern symbol?
It was you. The symbol was almost exactly the same as the Chinese character for "center" (also used for "China").
Screw oil slick and Super Pursuit Mode! TURBO BOOST!
They may as well give us a replica of Airwolf too. And, what about the Chevy van from A-team?
hey, this is the same of last post, look at the signing in the targa glass!
Those tires look bald.
