Well it also needs the turbo cast wheels :wink:.Those wheels are the turbo finned style that don't take the bowling ball caps.Other than that yes its the perfect car I'm lucky i have the exact same car in that picture but of course the only difference is mine has the right wheels and caps and steering wheel.And all the lights work

Your a damn Lucky Guy. What was the Mileage agian on your Trans Am.
I think my Knight Rider Conversion would be on a 1986-1993 Supra or a 1985-1989 4runner. Ill call it The 4th Knight or something.

Thanks turboman

Yes i was very fortunate to get the car like mine.I bought it last sept around my birthday for $1300 +$200 for the transport only had 62k miles on it.Currently has 64,5xx miles got to kept it low.Finding my car the way it is and being very good at finding the turbo cast wheels and bowling ball caps(found like 30-40 of the 15" wheels last year alone),I guess knight rider was my destiny.eh kinda corny.But i have no other way to explain it :? 8)

That is serious low miles! For the age of that car itself. :shock: That was a dirt cheap price for the Trans Am. The seller of the car should of checked the internet for price quotes. Whatever his loss is your gain. :D

Looks like your molecular bonded shell is starting to fail a bit on the bottom of the door :) Anyways great car, I honestly believe that is one of the cleanest, nicest designs around. To bad Pontiac didn't back it up with anything under the hood, but that was the 80's

Cramping the wheelbase or stretching the chassis of a Honda Accord (depending on the model) would also make a good base for a Trans Am kit car, won't it? The dimensions match quite well, except for wheelbase and height.

Ya kitt can take almost any beating but the Iowa weather did take it's toll on his driver side door:( .Oh well that's the worst of rust on it.Nothing a little elbow grease cant fix.

Service announcement:Remember guys for those of you have or will have one of these cars always wash your car off in the winter to get the salt off.If not your doors will look like mine or more worse the whole body will start to rust.
