Classic Car Addict is excited to offer this awesome piece of TV history; 1983 Pontiac Knight Rider KITT trans am replica for sale in our Mesa, AZ showroom. Knight Rider, which premiered on NBC on September 26, 1982, would run for 84 episodes over four seasons and generate an obscene amount of money in merchandising, from toy cars to t-shirts to lunch boxes. It would also make an international superstar out of David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff and his character, Michael Knight, instantly became household names, but the real star was the show's indestructible self-driving black Pontiac Trans Am, the one with the annoying voice and the stoic sense of humor. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, or KITT for short, was more sidekick than transport. And it went fast, did big smoky donuts, and performed jumps like the Dukes of Hazzard as the two fought for weekly truth and justice.
This is the slipperiest Firebird design ever, and so it's only fitting that this coupe wears a slick black lacquer that could look wet even in a desert. This is a rapidly appreciating collector's car, and so it's nice to see the previous owner has gone to great lengths to keep the body and its original shade of midnight in pristine condition. But a car like this was made for more than just being parked as garage art, everyone will love this at a local car show!
It has a complete KITT interior from the dash to the steering wheel and both upper and lower consoles. 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. The interior is original and correct. With the new dash installed, the odometer is no longer visible, believed to be 90K. T-Tops are fully functional as well.
It's powered by a 5.0-liter 8-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. It features 15-inch turbo cast wheels and bowling ball hubcaps, a complete 3/4-season dash and console with electronics, screen-accurate scanner and blackout, and an iPad display screen. This replica comes with a KNIGHT license plate signed by David Hasselhoff and William Daniels. Underneath the trunk lid, there are two signatures as well, one is Bob Bralver (stuntman) and the second one is Hasselhoff. This will also come with a life size cardboard cutout of Hasselhoff and “Knight of Phoenix” script.
This car is a real head-turner, and you will continuously get compliments wherever it's seen. Call us today if you are ready to have some fun in KITT; 480-256-1459. Be sure to check out Classic Car Addict on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
