Welcome to Trans Am Specialties of Florida, world's leading dealership for Pontiac Firebird Trans Ams . This car was formerly owned by Natan Truman from www.starcarcentral.com , If you visit his website you will find interesting info about this one of a kind Knight Rider.

This car started its life in California in 1982 as one of the rare black firebird trans-am T-tops. It originally had a black interior, but other than that it was THE correct car that Universal studios used to build it's Knight Rider super-cars. The initial KITT conversion was built in the 90's using the best available Knight Rider parts. A new replacement ZZR performance motor and high performance carb were installed about 13,000 miles ago, along with a Marks Custom front "nose" 6 front fog lights and a complete Knight Rider dashboard and upper roof console, with an unfinished lower console. The car then came into Nate's hands about five years ago.
Since then the interior has been changed to the show correct tan interior all with original OEM parts.

(see some rough behind the scenes video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OGjLQhGJ1w&NR=1

The car will also be profiled in Germany on the TV car show "GRIP" on October 10th and 11th (Check youtube after air date).

The car is also autographed by David Hasselhoff, as well as Michael Schiffe the original Designer of KITT, as well as Ron Martinez one of the shows producers.
Also included is a replica of the "KNIGHT" original California license plate, display disks for your dvd dash screen, and audio clips of KITT talking from the original series so you can make your own custom CD's of what you want KITT to say in the original voice of William Daniels!

Also included is a photocopy of the original script I used at Universal Studios in 1984 to make KITT talk! Nate Truman worked at Universal Studios Hollywood and was the voice of the KITT car on display in the park, and would chat with fans from a secret location! You get not only a copy of the script and fact sheets, but the actual Universal window sticker mounted on a card that he used when working at the park! it is also include souvenirs from the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasslehoff, where 25 years later he again got to perform as KITT by operating the fog lights KITT car to "talk" to the "Hoff".
If you are a fan of the show, you know that most every car seen on the show was eventually destroyed from "Turbo boost" so if you want a Knight Rider KITT that has been driven by and performed with the "HOFF" on screen, with working wristwatch-activation unit and updated electronics this is your only chance to be the Knight Rider or have this car in your collection!

Many photos will be included with purchase of David Hasselhoff with this car, and the car at other Hollywood events over the last 2 or 3 year. Video clips are also included, and are currently on youtube and around the web of the Hoff washing and dancing on this car.
CONDITION: Over all it's practically a new car, but there are a few tiny dings I haven't had repaired yet. There is a short thin scratch in the driver door edge that is hard to see, but it was David's boot that made it, when he was dancing on the car, including on the roof, so I left it!

Three owners have owned the car since that time, all three had clear titles, and the current title (pink slip) also shows the title as clear.

MILEAGE INFORMATION: As this car has changed hands a few times since 1982, and the dash and gauges were removed in 1997ish I can not know the exact miles on this chassis. The motor was replaced with the zzr motor probably less than 15,000 miles ago, but that is an educated guess. I have had it tuned up and gone over, and it runs and performs with more power than the original v8, that is for sure. CALIFORNIA buyers be aware that it may not pass all requirements for SMOG if you want to drive it every day. It is currently a show car but if you want to be the Knight Rider every day, you may have to sacrifice some horsepower at the next smog check! Otherwise if is not emission state the cat can be removed.
