I loved K.I.T.T. as a child, and I've got a soft spot for 80s American muscle, so I'm curious what this one will hammer at since it's kind of the one a real serious collector would want. I can't see it going for more than $50k though unless it's for charity. (I can't open the link on my work computer since the site is blocked)

EDIT: I opened the auction on my phone. Holy ****. Please tell me the top bidder right now is German.

OP, I'm disappointed that your post was not accompanied by this Hasselhoff gem!

Lol @ underestimating. The original Batmobile sold for a few million USD. Granted that's the Batmobile, but a large section of the population knows of Night Rider, or can identify KITT. So I'm not at all surprised that it's going to end up in 7 figures territory.

Yeah, but is this a screen used original or a later made conversion?

One of many questions people should be asking given the description says almost nothing about the car. Honestly I've seen $500 cars on CL with more information than this.

For those who didn't view the auction, this is the actual description on this car and mind you this is something with an original estimated range of $175K-300K...

FULLY FUNCTIONAL K.I.T.T. CAR WITH FULL CONVERSION CAR LOCATED IN U.K. LOT WINNER RESPONSIBLE FOR DELIVERY EXPENSE, IF HAMMER PRICE EXCEEDS 25% ABOVE RESERVE PRICE, THE HOFF WILL PERSONALLY DELIVER THE CAR TO THE NEW OWNER.

...is it screen used? Is it a recently made replica? How long as Hoff owned it? Has Hoff even driven it given the car is in the UK and Hoff is in SoCal? How many miles are on it? Condition? Does anything work? Etc. etc...

 

[Pushrods]

That's nuts. Unless that thing has some serious pedigree, like photos of the Hoff eating a deconstructed hamburger off the hood between takes with Mr. Feeny in 1983, that's straight up crack pipe.

I think Burt Reynold's personal SE Trans Am last changed hands for something like $300k.

Sorry for derailing this thread, but anyone remember the Viper TV show from 90;s? I watched it as a kid and loved that car. Wonder where that thing is...

Did that show even make it a full season? I remember being hyped up for it as a kid, then being disappointed that it sucked so badly.

4 seasons. I was 11 at the time and just cared about the cool car

That is what happens when a car company tries to make a TV show...

Ahhh, just looked it up on Wiki. It did one season on NBC, then was pulled for 2 years, then went into syndication for the rest of its run. No wonder I thought it was abandoned

 

[The A1 and A2 German]

$975,000 with 18 days left in the auction

Came into this thread cringing at my mental image of an aged Hoff. Cringing even harder now having seen pic 2. Yikes.

Germans love David Hasselhoff.

Hahaha.

I was too old to watch this show. I guess he was chasing bad guys with this car?

Every week. Even had an evil version of this that was called K.A.R.R. if memory serves. Grew up watching the Hoff kick ass and engage super-pursuit mode to take down the baddies. Show certainly hasn't aged well but my best friend and I watched this, in syndication of course, along with A-Team and Greatest American Hero almost every day.

I googled it. I guess it was some kind of fancy high tech talking car. Meh, Chrysler had that already.

 

[shuttle pilot]

Yeah, but is this a screen used original or a later made conversion?

If it is a screen car, it will be as if God touched it. LOL
As a child of the 80's I still want a talking car from that era.

Also, here is the best modern commercial for KITT.

Oh... and for Hoff tunes
