Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows from my youth. As a kid born in '75, this hits all the nostalgia buttons. As many of us in the '80s, I made much of our cosplay items from markers, cardboard and masking tape. I recall creating a static scanner bar from crayola markers and cardboard and fastening it to my Huffy bike so that K.I.T.T. and I could ride around the neighborhood. I could be like Michael Knight, "a young loner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless." I had the good fortune to to have my Dad take me to see one of the K.I.T.T.'s at the Fresno Fairgrounds at a show called Autorama sometime in the '80s. Somewhere, lost to the sands of time (and probably a refuse heap at this point) is an overpriced picture of me sitting in the drivers seat of K.I.T.T. Young me was just over the moon to be able to do that! Thank you AJ (and Joe) for all you have done to keep this awesome show and history of its vehicles alive, and thank you to Parifractic for your love of the show like so many of us from that time period. Blessings!

Friend, I am older than you, but I am happy for your testimony about the TV series of your childhood, in this case your favorite one KNIGHT RIDER. I'm from Brazil, and just like you, my childhood was very rich on television. Here passed true masterpieces of both cartoons and TV series, such as "Batman" of 1966, with Adam West and company, "Lost in the space", "Bewitched", "Land of the Giants", "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", and the classic cartoons of Hanna-Barbera such as "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! Sorry for the long text... but I was also moved, not only by your testimony but also by seeing K.I.T.T. again. God bless you, bro.

I had a Camaro of that same year that I used to deliver thousands of pizzas in the mid 90s. I'm so impressed with the preservation of your KITT, as I remember the entire family of those cars being VERY fragile, for lack of a better word. The shift lever was mentioned in the video, and I doubt the original survived. I used to carry superglue with me because the button would spring off at random times, and I just had to keep it together. Those interior door handles were a big problem too. They were made of some sort of random GM "Metal" that looked like a mix of dull glitter and sand when it would break. Really neat to see it in the shape I always imagined it, and not the state I experienced.
@JohnDlugosz
@JohnDlugosz Жыл бұрын
I think the Firebirds were better built than the Camaros. I have a '99 Trans Am, and the shift lever is still original. The leather has shrunk off around it, but the button works just fine. What I've had to keep replacing is the hatch for the center console. I lean on it with my elbow when I get in, and its plastic and foam construction suffers from that. I've had no trouble with the inside door levers, either.

A few years ago I bought a late 80s Chevy Camaro IROC-Z. The car was in great condition, but the headliner needed repairing. When GM built these cars their headliners were made by glueing the sponged fabric to a pressed paper cardboard. Leaking T-tops over time, made them vulnerable swelling. I found someone online who was selling a molded fiberglass piece where the headliner fabric was supposed to be applied. When I went to pick up the product. The seller turned out to be the guy who fabricated the interior parts for the Trans Am on Kningh Rider. He had several pictures and older parts in his garage that convinced me that he was authentic.

I'm friends with one of the stunt women who drove Kitt and Karr from the original show. Her first name is Jean. I'm also friends with Pam Hasselhoff, who was married to David.

Man this has hit every nostalgia button for me.. I too grew up watching knight rider as in the 80's and remember being devastated when the show got axed. The only thing that could possibly be cooler than this was if David Hasselhoff had shown up while you guys were talking.

Good work on this Christian I just found the Knight Rider Historians this summer here on KZbin. I can’t wait to see how Joe who’s also from that channel restores the semi the 84 GMC General & the 77 Dorsey trailer fun fact Joe also owns the second surviving KITT car too.

Ooh wow! I now see it was a dual panavision camera rig on the car. I thought it was all shot using a single camera. Those Panavisions were expensive to rent especially for a tv show. And surely they must have had a second unit and perhaps even special effects unit too. I’m fascinated by the logistics of those old TV shows. Because they had so little money and they were effects and stunt heavy. And shot on film which is a slow process in its own right. Quite a remarkable feat!

I remember when my parents took me to Universal Studios back in the late 80's and me and dad got to sit in the car. I loved Knight Rider and KITT and sitting inside as a little kid, I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't speak. My dad got pissed and yelled at me to say something, but I just couldn't talk. Then KITT said something nice and my dad dragged me out because there were people waiting. Can't believe I got to experience that and it'll stay with me for the rest of my life.

It's funny, a lot of the shows of my childhood are being shown on UK television right now, Airwolf, A-Team, Battlestar Galactica, Hart to Hart etc etc. Watching them all again provokes a lot of nostalgia, but none of them really stand up to re-watching as much as Knight Rider. It was the true king of that era of the golden age of US television......in my humble opinion. Still no Automan re-runs........

@@RetroRecipes It varies, and they move from channel to channel.

Still, the OG Magnum PI has just started on ITV4, so plenty to get on with for now....

I would like to thank the KZbin algorithm for pointing me to this video. In South Africa in the early 80's me and my family would spend every Friday evening watching Knight Rider, till it got moved to Mondays. This series had a major influence on my field of interest. I am also happy to say that one of the other KITT's made it to South Africa where it is enjoyes a career as an atracktion at Car shows and conventiontions. And yes, I have photos of me with KITT, naturally.

Very nice, it recall all kind of memories about my childhood, where Knight Rider (together with Airwolf - remember those - and The A-team) was the thing I didn't want to miss... I saw Michael and KITT as heroes and wanted to be like them (who wouldn't as 10-year old). I remember dreaming about driving KITT one day and be planet saving hero myself and it's good to know that some cars survived the time and can be visited. Thanks for taking care of such precious memories!
