K.I.T.T. (Knight Rider) clones

[Steam McQueen]

KITT began as a 1982 Trans Am. For clones you can use 3rd generation Firebird's 1982 to 1992. There are obviously some great sites for KITT. "The Foundation" and "knightridershop" are two ...

There is currently a 1983 KITT on daBay with a pretty rough looking interior ...

Knight rider front bumper, steering wheel, some dash electronics, special dash and strobe light. Has cross fire injection that works great. No codes, starts every morning. Some rips in front seats, needs head liner. I have the bowling ball hub caps but can't get them to stay on. Has slight scape behind drivers door, speedometer does not work.

Q: So what is needed to finish the dash and get everything working?? Also does it need anything else? Thanks James
A: i have the over lays for the digital gauges. you would still need to get all the actual gauges. there are no monitors. i do have the voice box electronics and overlay.

Q: Do you have the pink slip? Has it been in any accidents? Are the tags up to date? Does it pass the smog? How does the car run?
A: yes, i have the pink, no accidents, passed smog, runs great. tags good until 6/14

So have you seen the invisible driver prank video on daTube? 37 million views in 9 months ...





What made me think of that was while looking at pics of KITT at the IMCDb, I noticed that Knight Rider stunt co-ordinator, Jack Gill, was doing the invisible driver prank 30 years ago! Look at this pic from Season 2 ...





Haha, pretty cool. You can actually see what appears to be his eyes.

- There's a place in Kettering, Ohio that builds tv and movie car replicas

dayton.craigslist.org/cto/4042870834.html

A place to get interior stuff is at Marks Custom Kits in Kissimmee, Florida.

They also build KITT replicas. Here's an ad for a '91 KITT in Kissimmee, FL (no pic) asking $12,000

It doesn't mention if it's a Mark's build but it's probably a safe bet it at least has some of his interior gadgets.

- The Volo Museum is also selling their K.I.T.T. which is a 1983 Trans Am and is a Marks Custom Kits build.

The interior is fully wired and all the prop lights function, the digital gauges not only light up but are functional as well, including the speedometer. Has the correct KITT nose with red light-bar and taillight blackout with a reproduction license plate. Concealed inside the car is a stereo with detachable speakers that play numerous KITT verses loudly outside the car for when on display. In addition there is a power supply unit that plugs into any 110v wall outlet to power all the cars features for display use. The car itself has low miles, just under 60k, and had a professional show quality paint job. The car does run and drive but has not been driven on the street in 14 years, it will need to be tuned up and serviced for street use.

I am friends with the guy who sells the movie car replicas in Kettering. He owned my General Lee two owners ago. Some of his stuff is nice, but in my opinion he asks waaaaay to much for some of them. $45k for a third gen F-body is a little insane in my opinion. He has a "77 Camaro Bumblebee replica -- great looking car too -- but wanted $20,000 for it. The real Bumblebee sold in 2007/8 for only $41,000.

- Asking price of $5,900 on this one doesn't seem too bad ...

1988 Pontiac Trans-Am GTA converted to look like K.I.T.T. TPI 350, automatic, 3.27 posi rear end, A/C, dual exhaust, headers, chipped computer (comes with stock computer also) seats are out of a later model trans-am. Hood, spoiler, front bumper and rims are from an '82 model to be KITT correct, front bumper was custom made with the red scanner built into it.

Cool.

I'd change that link though if I were you as it goes to the admin where anyone can change the details of the ad!


I can vouch this is a great looking car though people, Ant brought it to my wedding and was very popular!

[minevield]

Nice car!

Link seems o.k. now, couldn't find anything wrong with it.

So I posted it in the "Other cars" section in the German Mopar forum. Maybe someone in Germany is interested... And since the UK is a EU-member (at least at this point still...), shipping etc. shouldn't be a problem. 

Good luck in selling!
