KITT for sale!

Dublin dealership offers `Knight Rider' car for sale


KITT, the flame-throwing, river-jumping, talking muscle car from the 1980s show "Knight Rider," is up for sale.

Now restored to its debut-season glory, the modified black 1982 Pontiac Trans Am is offered at $149,995 at a Dublin auto dealership. Johnny "Vette" Verhoek of Kassabian Motors has had the car, officially called Knight Industries Two Thousand, on display for about a month.

It is one of four documented "camera cars" used for close-up shots and scenes where David Hasselhoff, who played Michael Knight in the series, was behind the wheel.
