★★★ *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.* kzread.info/dash/bejne/m2x127ycibXLXcY.html *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.

As a knight Rider fan I absolutely enjoyed this video. Congratulations to the owner for his determination to achieve the goal. These days $100k wouldn’t scratch the surface of the true value this beauty has. KITT brings an instant smile to anyone lucky enough to just sit in the seat. Your hard work is truly appreciated. 📺Great Video 🎥🎞

That front bumper is on point. This car is probably in way better shape than any of the hero car's for filming. This knight industries two thousand is very well done.

WOW! What dedication, craftsmanship and will power! I would guess this K.I.T.T. example would be worth at least $100,000. This car appears good enough to be used in a Knight Rider film or episode! I can understand how such a special automobile is not driven much; this is a true show piece! I hope David Hasselhoff gets to see and pose with your car! You've earned it!

The Dedication to this project car is amazing.

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!

What a great effort and final product. Come on David, take a pic with this guy. Do it for your fans.

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.

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 am a knight rider fan and I have always fantasized owing a KITT replica. I personally don't know Chris but if I were him, I would never DARE to sell what he built for ANY price. If I spent that much time, effort, and money to finally create a dream car, I would NEVER sell it for ANY price. Chris's REAL motivation was to prove others wrong, not to finally keep it for himself. If he's open to sell it for the right price, then that means he just wanted to experience the journey of building one, not necessarily keeping it forever. But hats off to you, even most crazed obsessed knight rider fans would not have gone through the journey you went through. Good luck!

Airwolf 🐺 crashed in 🇩🇪 in the 1990s. The helicopter was used as a medical chopper 🚁 aero medical. The pilot & crew were killed. RIP Airwolf...

I cry, I remembered when I was child and I was watching knight rider. You are legend mate

I never realised until watching this what a difference the correct colour Black could make. It looks spot on, some replicas look like they're make of flimsy plastic.

Great work. You should be very proud of all the work you put in to replicate this car to be exactly the same as us 80s kids remember it.

That is some beautiful engineering and art. A lot of love and passion went into making that vehicle.

Knight Rider was part of my childhood and still it.KITT is beautiful and always will be,I got lucky and drove KITT in 2018,it was an awesome experience. I wish KITT was mine.

As a child, seeing this would have been great. As a man seeing this now, it is incredible, just incredible. I honestly would be speechless if I saw this in the flesh.

This is the best video ive ever seen for KITT building. The experience and process described in this video are 100% accurate if you intend to build him the right way. Ofcourse theres always room for some of Bonnie's special gadgets. :)

Chris making the impossible possible..what a guy. I salute him 👍👏👏

Its amazing that in many scenes the inside of the car on the series wasn't at all like that as we know! This man created it perfectly!

This was getting better and better as the video went on. Unbelievable attention to detail. It's a masterpiece!

We must be about the same age. I grew up on that show. That is an impressive masterpiece. Congrats.

Wonder World yup. Early 40s. I just spent $180 on a Rockbiter sculpture from Neverending Story. That's 80s love. not a $50k iconic car but for me it's love. Lol

*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.

Right???? That would be a dream come true!!

Great work! I loved Knight Rider and I myself used to build digital dashboard components. Never was able to recreate the actual KITT interior, but then I didn't have the right car either! =)

I’ve seen some of the screen used kits, this is not even close. It’s actually nicer. It does not sag, and the paint is perfect. This is what the show cars should look like, but they were working cars and it showed. Good job dude.

Best replica yet. TY FB for linking me here.

Awesome, amazing and fantastic. What a brilliant job he's done on that. Given the amount of work and the quality of the work, $100,000 seems like a bargain. Truly.

I'll have to admit I thought this was silly, but after watching this video I am completely amazed! What an incredible piece of art.

This is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve watched in a long time 😂

Great job bro ... From personal experience of being a panel beater for many yrs & rebuilding & restoring British cars, you've done an outstanding build, no amount of of money can ever compensate all the agro / lost sleep / money & time you've invested in this build ... By far the best I've ever seen, don't sell it for someone else to wreck it.

This guy has done very well, and his time, effort, and money, have produced this absolutely beautiful version of KITT.

I was born the year knight rider aired. This was my super car growing up and still is. Anyone from the 80's will understand. I hope I get to own one.

Wow alot of work has been done.

Wow awesome ❗️ Thank you very much for living your dream. Your story have to inspire everybody who want to live their dreams. Great job man. Perfect work. Awesome ❤️

To include the tow bar underneath? That is epically accurate! Good job Chris! - Oh, and when I win the lottery - I'll make you an offer!! :)

If I owned that well-crafted vehicle, I would have it customized a bit by removing that damn tow bar, adding seat belts, and having a pro shop up the powertrain to maybe 400+hp. Bulletproofed, of course, not half-assed, and call it a day. Again, well done, well done, excellent one-off...! I loved watching that TV show when I was a kid. My Dad, on the other hand, loathed my interest in that show for some odd reason...? Now my favorite TV show is the new Star Trek Discovery.

If you think this car is worth a million dollars then contact me because I have app kinds of stuff to sell you for top dollar or 10-20x more than they are actually worth.

That car was one of a kind.i remember my late mom bought me a complete duvet set that had kitt on it.i still remember the smell of that new blanket.i couldn't stop looking at it.u could buy the curtains with it also.great era that was..👍🏻

This car is responsible for my love of cars , thank you . Best replica i have seen , well done and thank you .

What an incredible description - way to narrate - it just didn't only fit with the car but rather fit with the emotion of the 80s kids...

Thanks March.

11:35 Chris push that asking price up to $1 million because this car is beautiful! This is a work of art that you’ve created! It would be like me building the Batmobile 1989 from scratch. I would never let my masterpiece part with me for anything less than $1 million because that’s one hell of a return for this level of passion and dedication. All we need now is David Hasselhoff to sign the damn thing somewhere in that car, or at least pose with you in front of it because that would be one hell of a fan boys dream. And I totally understand why you never try this again because this is a once-in-a-lifetime Herculean effort that would tax anyone.

I'm really proud that the best expertise in making kitt elettronics is italian. The guy has a a youtube channel and he's very passionate on KITT,

Γαμάτος ο κίτ...τρέλα. Μεγαλώσαμε και ακόμα μας καυλώνει...good work thanks from Greece. Hellas

That.....is....amazing! I actually remember the episode when K.I.T.T. told Michael that picture of a mouse joke!

Nothing but LOVE... I would love this as my personal car. Now my 2017 Chevy Colorado truck is my dream ride and love it. But back in the day, this was my dream car besides the IROC Z 1985-86.

Love the season 1 voicebox with the LED gas pedal.

That was the achivement of a mans dream...even in kitts computer ..he did it..after all its not a replica to me..its real...i admired and impress with you man.. .thank you making KITT alive today...youre the real Micheal Knight...

Lol, 10:27 you're building a car that doesn't exist with parts that don't exist, for a man who does not exist. Amazing work Chris, well done! And with this masterpiece, it should be the Hoff that wants a picture with you.

Set a six pack of beer on the trunk, Hasselhoff will wander up your driveway sooner or later.
