Cool GT500 Ebay Listing, KR Reference!

I love how he put the backround and music themed as Knight Rider and even the 2 teasers, brilliant strategy!

Why didn't they use that interior, looks good! I love 2-tone. Maybe because KITT is sleek and undercoverish he needs to be all black inside?

Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but how can anyone possibly read the actual text with all that awful background image? Sorry, "Lonestar Ford", sloppy first impression in my eyes.

Looks like a cheap sales attempt to me. That's the ORIGINAL KR music, and not the NEW KR music that would go with the NEW KITT. The car isn't the KR version of the GT500, so it still needs some modifications to look like the NEW KITT.

The best (and most economical) way to get a car that looks like the NEW KITT would be to do what they did on the show. Get a new Mustang GT and get aftermarket stuff (hood and decals) and identical wheels, then there you go - a perfect match with the exterior. It might just be awhile before the aftermarket items are available. There's not much to alter on the interior either.
One man did make a difference.

These are the people who have those crappy, awful car commercials for their local dealerships aren't they?
The new and again improved evil's advertisement is currently too long and too badass to display here. But let's just say that with now 50% more evil, this **** is great! :twisted: :skar:

The one thing it has going for it is a pretty thorough picture set:

Seeing the images, I'm absolutely sure, that the new KITT has 3 problems:
- the front
- the hood
- the scanner

and it should be all black and have no stribes. otherwise it looks pretty good, a worthy KITT.

I would change the car a bit, but I wouldn't take another car.
