Man Knightdriver83, lemme just say that that car is absolutely beautiful. I was always a huge KR fan as a kid, and now I myself am the proud owner of a very well conditioned 1987 Firebird Formula. I absolutely love it, and I can appreciate the work it took to restore an 83 T/A into KITT. Brilliant Job my friend.
There was a guy in my town who had a KITT replica back in the early 1990s (license plate "KGB") and it was pretty good for its day. But this one is killer with the full monitors, sounds and the great looking piece of horsepower under the hood. Really nice!
Amazing job in the interior There are hundreds with the exterior but only a few with the interior Great attention to detail Just amazing Simply amazing
Hey Paul - congrats once again on the Class Winner on Sunday(East Coast Camaro Club Event). Awesome car... It was nice to see that KITT and you were appreciated for all your hard work. Congrats once again!!!
There's a guy at my work who has a De Lorean :) I'm not sure if he's doing up the whole car, but he's got a Flux Capaciter in it. Replicas like this rock!!!
Best replica I have seen to date. Awesome show and an awesome job on the car. Just wait for them to make a Knight Rider movie and then ebay it for a ton!!
Great car, I'm presently out of the country right now, but when I either go to Austrailia, or return to America, I will definitely buy an '82 or '90 model Pont. Trans Am and customize it to be like K.I.T.T., but add a few touches of my own. MOre power to you!!!
Yeah, I believe that. Like I said, I love my formula! Fun car, fun ride. Suspension can seem all to tight though when your in a parking lot, and those infamous speed bumps are approaching!
Hey this guy is able to own a K.I.T.T. this is every Man's Childhood dream. Must of a cost a fortune to duplicate K.I.T.T. Great job, Now owning Optimus Prime is the next thing
I think in one way it fits since its a continuation and its a newer model 3000, it would only be natural to "upgrade" the looks with the rest of the car. BUT then again there will only be one KITT ;)
Awsome job - I love people like you because when my wife thinks her husband and his latest project is crazy I can say be quiet and think your self lucky - check out this guy who built his own Kitt, or astromech droid etc. Seriously though, awsome job well done.
Don't listen to those other fools, that car you have is awesome. I'd like more footage of driving but from the inside. I always wanted that car. Perhaps I appreciate it more since I'm actually old enough to have watched the show when it aired in the 80s.
Pontiac firebird transam. Buy 1 from late '80's to very early '90's then find the extras have a great time good luck with the miles of electrics and make a superb job of it don't forget the paint has to protect the metal from rust I wish I had the cash time expertise and ability to build my own KITT I would put in a turbo diesel engine
Please tell me you used the right sound effect for the red eyeball. I ran across a replica at Salt Lake Comic Con that totally screwed up and was using the sound effect for the 1978 Cylons. Going to all that trouble just to goof up the easiest part...
Nice job. That's one of the better replicas I've seen... even the exhaust sounds like KITT did on TV. I assume there's a way to disable KITT's voice? That would drive me insane after about 30 seconds.
I have an 8 year old daughter who LOVES KITT. She also loves Hannah Montana, and regular 8 year old stuff, but I've trained her well. She would LOVE to see this car and I live in Enfield, CT...only about 2 hrs from there. Would this guy be willing to give my daughter the drive of her lifetime? She would absolutely FLIP OUT. I would be willing to pay for his time.
Before I'm done, lemme just say don't listen to any of the unappreciative losers outthere who think they "spend their time" so much better. They have no understanding of the work that it takes to restore a car in any light to show condition. Again, beautiful car. Did the show and Pontiac great justice with this one! :)
There is nothing wrong with it. If anything, you need to go and watch the show along with seeing how the replicas look in the interior. It might also depends on what model Trans Am he used to make it. It couldve been any model going up to '92.
whats the deal with the tail light covers?? i cant seem to find any but i dont have a button inside the car to open the trunk and the only ones i can find are the one peice ones. i know they make three peices that allow access to the keyhole to open the trunk
Where did you get the moving red grill light I want one for my vehicle its a Dodge Ram not a transam but I want to make it a Kitt like vehicle as much as possible.
If anyone knows this guy please have him visit FireballRun(dotcom and give us a call. If he's willing to run it from Orlando to Beverly Hills... we want to get him and invite.
Ahh.. sorry about that, I guess I should have read all of the posts before asking the question about KITT's voice. I see it's on CD. That beeing the case, why don't you record some songs in KITT's voice? I think it'd be a riot to have the car spouting hip hop lyrics, or singing power ballads.
hey man i got a question.... do you turn that light on when driving in highways? here in my country most of 'unnecessary' lights are no allowed on car.
if kitt was real did it have a turbine right that would be cool to develope a enigne to fit in thier so when you pop that hood you wow all the geahead fans as well as the knight rider fans i do love your car and wish i could own it always have loved knightrider
It would be cool If someone built one using up todate displays and computers and hardware ! Why not use a new LS or at least a multport Fuel injected motor ? Super Boost (NITROUS)
@oscaralhosvitominas There are entire websites and forums out there dedicated to just that. :D I've always wanted to take a 1982 Trans Am and make one, but never had the cash.
HEy I Live here in Mass in winthrop and I'm going to buy a replica, I would like to come by or meet somewhere so I can see somewhat of what I'm getting
Google 'Marks custom kits' - I'm saving for a turn-key but guess I'll have to move house first as i daren't leave it outside my house - too many chavs lol!
