★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★ *1) Did Chris ever get a photo from David Hasselhoff for his Facebook page* - No he did not, Chris reached out to David, and David was not interested in seeing the car. *2) Does he still own the KITT Car as of today 1/1/2020* - No he does not - he put up a video on 11/12/2019, stating he sold it. He sold it because he felt he has such a busy life now that he is not really getting enough enjoyment out of it or enough time to take it to car shows, and someone made him a really good offer so it was just the right time to sell it. *A little bit about the story of when he sold it.* kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2mkqo2ZjreYY8U *I asked Chris how much he sold it for and he said* "Well not really sold, but traded for a new viper. So no money was exchanged but the viper costed $140k so I’d say I got a good 100k trade value.I already have another trans am to build another KITT , so KITT's not completely gone. *3) Here is a bit of Trivia directly from a David Hasselholf interview* - He called KITT in the show, Pal & Buddy but those words were never in the scripts, David added those words as he wanted the car to be like his horse, as David grew up watching Roy Rodgers & The Lone Ranger.

There is no awesome TV anymore. Knight Rider, Viper, Magnum PI also reminds us how they use to grab our hearts with cars not just try to get our wallets. Today it's all about money and nothing worthy of being that memorable. Awesome car. Absolutely awesome and as for the builder you have my respect for holding onto the dream and making it reality. The 80's and 90's were definitely a time dreams were made and wish I could visit the 80's again just for one day. If you could do it what day would it be?

*Here is a bit of Trivia directly from a David Hasselholf interview* - He called the car, Pal & Buddy but those words were never in the scripts, David added those words as he wanted the car to be like his horse, as David grew up watching Roy Rodgers & The Lone Ranger.

This quite possibly is the most amazing one I’ve seen. Accurate voice, the symmetry of the scanner/hood section, the visuals on the two screens, wheels, interior (computerized, digital, upholstery), and that beautiful black paint job! If I was to have one made, I’d want it modeled after this one! $100,000.00 shouldn’t even be enough to make him think twice. We’d have to be talking $40M and up for me, because this is my favorite tv show of all time and my favorite car of the 80’s! I never felt the other 80’s vehicles came remotely close! Out side of a $40M and up offer, I just can’t see myself pondering the idea of selling it unless a true emergency situation was presented and the finances were a MUST! There’s just too much sentimental value, history, iconic levels, time, hard work, patience, fun, stress, and love put into making this masterpiece happen! Don’t mean to sound crazy or obsessed, but this is simply my take on things! This is television, technology, and pop culture royalty!!!!!

I grew up in the San Fernando valley in the 80's and Knight Rider was my favorite show at age 8, my dad drove past one of their film shoots on the street and must have noticed KITT or something because he pulled over and told me to wait in the car, knowing my dad I'm guessing he slipped the right guy at least a $100 bill if not more. He came back and got me and told me there is someone he thought I should meet, low and behold a giant David Hasselhoff dressed as Michael Knight walked up to me and greeted me in character, I greeted him back in awe and shook his hand. That's all I can remember now. Thanks to my dad and David for that awesome moment I got to meet Knight Rider!
