The car is a sleek, shiny black with the trademark red scanner light moving back and forth on the hood. The dashboard instrument panel looks like something one might see in the cockpit of a fighter jet. It includes buttons marked "arm laser," "eject left" and "smokescreen."

Any science fiction geek from the 1980s would immediately recognize this as KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand), the futuristic car driven by David Hasselhoff in the TV show "Knight Rider." (The show originally ran from 1982 to 1986.)

"This is as close as you can possibly get without buying one of the Universal cars [one of the cars from the original show]," said owner Leni Gronros of Rockport.
there's lots more at the link. videos, photos, more to the story.
Lady: "I bet you're tall, dark, and handsome."
KITT: "I'm definitely dark and handsome, I'm only tall when I'm climbing a steep incline."
