"Stars cars sets off alarms"

Studio officials responded with a cease and desist order demanding that Barris never again make "misrepresentations regarding any involvement with the 'Back to the Future' films." They called upon Barris to remove images of the flying DeLorean from his company's website and restrict his display of replicas of the gull-winged car used by Michael J. Fox to time travel in the popular 1985 movie and its sequels.

Others, meanwhile, complained that film cars such as the K.I.T.T., the General Lee and the Monkeemobile were not originally designed and built by Barris, either.

For the 1982 "Knight Rider" movie and its 84-episode TV series, Scheffe designed and built the computer-crammed K.I.T.T. car used by David Hasselhoff. Barris was hired to build an upgraded version of the car for the show's third season with concept sketches from Scheffe.

But Barris "kind of makes it sound like he came up with the original concept," said movie car fan Nate Truman, a TV graphics operator who lives in Gardena and owns a replica Batmobile.

"The car guys want to get the story out while George Barris is still alive and can be confronted," Paul said. "I don't personally dislike him. But he's messing up the industry by misrepresenting history."

K.I.T.T. creator Scheffe, a Mar Vista resident who now is an art director for Sony Pictures Imageworks, agreed.

"George is an institution. He's done amazing things. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. But it's good for the people who did the work to get credit for it."

hahahaha, certainly took their good old time.

It's about friggin' time!

There is a whole misrepresentation going on for years like one 58 Plymouth, a Christine clone being called an original movie car when it's not, it was the one that was at the Volo Museum, Barris had a Christine clone too, I can't remember the rest of the stories of both, also one time I heard Barris on some show saying Christine is a 57 not 58.

I have pictures of the Christine clone



the exterior was perfect but the car had BLACK seats with red inserts. the 1/1 movie car had red seats with dark red inserts.

The "indestructable" text - sounds like she'd be a good girlfriend for KARR.

And what would any "offspring" look like- and why am i even asking that question!

Not even the outside is exact no bumper wings, 57 fender spears, her rims are supposed to be argent silver & those are red, and Christines paint was GM Spectra red I beleave that is not, I do know where the real Christines are, the yard where the junked cars went to, the only two left got their parts from the other cars to finish them from that yard and took some of the props like the light setup for the Lee choking scene was on Ebay last year among a few things, also the polyurethane rubber Plymouth hoodscript that was on the polyurethane rubber body that was used in the Show Me scene where Christine was fixing herself.
