DBAHO Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 THE talking car that effortlessly upstaged David Hasselhoff in the 1980s cult TV series Knight Rider will be up for sale in an internet auction this week. The souped-up, 1983 black Pontiac Trans Am called KITT worked with Hasselhoff's character, Michael Knight, to crush crime and catch bad guys on the show which carried the tagline: "A young man set on revenge. His partner... an indestructible car". KITT, or Knight Industry Two Thousand, was famous for witty repartee and offering Knight sober advice in a posh accent accompanied by sexy, red flashing lights. Fans eager to own a piece of TV history will be able to bid for the icon on the auction website eBay on Friday. It is estimated the car will fetch up to $US60,000 ($84,500). Although KITT's showbiz career never progressed past Knight Rider, Hasselhoff became a household name as lifesaver Mitch Buchanan in the hit series Baywatch. The bouffant-haired actor, who quit the series after ten years in 2000, has since followed the celebrity trend of starring in a West End show in London. For the next three months Hasselhoff will play the role of Billy Flynn in the musical Chicago giving him a chance to exercise his dazzling vocal abilities. 'The Hoff'' has released a string of albums over the years, including Looking For Freedom, and Night Rider and has a loyal fan base particularly in Germany and the former Soviet bloc states.
