George Barris KITT being auctioned again
Remember that strange SPM KITT that sold for $60,000 at auction 2 years ago?
http://www.knightrideronline.com/phpbb/ ... ht=auction
Well, it's going up for sale again August 17th in Monterey, California. My only guess is that the original sale fell through for some reason.

This description is slightly better than the one they originally had 2 years ago, as now they say the car was "was re-converted to simulate the 'Super Pursuit Mode' variant of KITT", although they still say it appeared in Knight Rider 2010.

My understanding is that the Trans Am body (without the pseudo-SPM gear) was used in some capacity in the show. Maybe as a stunt car for long shots. George Barris got the car back, and then added the accessories later on.
The description is very misleading, but most of it may technically be somewhat accurate. (aside from the KR2010 reference, of course)

If I recall correctly, the guy that won it at auction died or was killed
shortly after he got the car. I Don't know any of the details though.
But I guess it is back up on auction. That dash and most of the stuff in it
is mine. There are no electronics in it. It may be back lit but everything in
it was dummy by request. The overlays are a dead give away!
Curious to see how much it goes for this time.

It would be my luck that the week I get it would be Dec 20th or something... then I'd have to dig him out.

But... yeah, whatever. If they can't be clear on what this car does/did and can't keep their facts straight, they're going to lose buyers.

Hey, maybe KITT's buried under that snow. You're giving me an idea, SD_Chick.
When it's my turn to give the car up...
Car? What car?
Seriously, I somehow doubt that this car was ever on TV. Those property masters at Universal always did a great job at keeping KITT looking real...at least on the exterior. I do agree with K.I.T.T. I haven't seen that front nose anywhere throughout the whole series.
