I've owned an 82 firebird back in the day and that plastic rattling brings back the memories.
I'm happy that a few KITTs are still on the roads aka their natural environment. And it's nice to see fans still in awe near this beautiful car.
Hi Jabez here, as the new generation of knight rider this was a thrilling experience for me and my Dad thank you
Knight Rider Historians.
Thanks Jabez! Great job in the video!
This reminds me of my "Knight Rider experience"
Back that time, in Italy the tour cars were already very rare, we had one, maybe two tour cars in all Italy, and when i was a child the tour cars were no longer around. However, it was the beginning of the "replica eras", so the firsts replicas started to pop out. I was something like 5 or 6 years old, and there was this big annual Cars exibition in Turin, that they do still today but in another city, It's called "Automotoretrò".
I was already an huge fan of Knight Rider, so i brought with me wood toy made by my dad resembling kitt's steering wheel (that i still have today).
I already knew that there was this guy having a replica, because this guy had a website and he announced his presence at this event. I kept my "scanners peeled" for a very long time, before finding kitt right behind me along side with the General Lee, Herbie, the DeLorean and the Striped Tomato. I couldn't breathe for the emotion. The owner of kitt usually didn't let anyone to get inside kitt, however with me decided to breake this "rule" and he let me go inside kitt for taking some pictures with him. F.L.A.G. loved me so much that later that day decided to send me another kitt replica that i had no idea was there, so It was a very pleasent surprise. So i consider myself very lucky to had a "Knight Rider experience" Just like the guys on this video, even though in the wrong country and with a delay of 10-15 years lol.(I hope i didn't do too much mistakes, in that case Sorry)
Somewhere in my parent's attic is a polaroid of me sitting in one of these as a kid. There is a similar one of me in the General Lee. I used to love the "Autorama".
Get up there, find that picture and display it somewhere. 🙂👍
I remember "The World of Wheels" car show back in the day. Sat in one of these tour cars. (Or I think it was one of em at the time.) It had somebody off to the side being KITT and could talk to "him" My best friend busted my chops for months after that.... lol
I was sitting here. Trying to remmember what I said to him. I don't remember the exact question? But it was something like "You getting tired of all these people sitting in here" and the guy being funny as KITT said "Yeah, I think I am starting to smell. Does it smell in here?" lol
World of Wheels is where and when I met KITT as well. It was 1985. Both KITT and the General were together. I know that Joe and AJ have the two cars that were screen-used during the show. Joe's been working his tail lights off trying to restore the semi from the show.
Love to see a young boy today embracing KR just as we did. Rare to find youth of today showing interest in the television shows of our time.
I'm 17, been a fan since I was 6! Knight Rider has always and will always be my favorite show.

I am making you an honorary Gen X'r. 😄
I saw K.I.T.T first time in Helsinki, Finland 1987, I was 9 years old then 👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮
Cool Idea to see the same Car after so many Years again!
It's awesome these guys got to recreate a childhood memory nearly 40 years later. Im starting on my KITT replica this year and hopefully I can drive KITT around before I'm 50. I was only 4 when Knight Rider began but it is one of my first memories. I swore one day I would have that beautiful black car.
I'd bet this is the exact same promo car I saw at the Philadelphia Auto Show in 1986 when I was a kid. That car back then was the only K.I.T.T. replica I've ever seen with those plastic fake grill inserts. This one HAS to be that car.
My dad sat in this car when it was in Fremantle Western Australia back in 1986. Still have the pic!
The enduring legacy of knightrider for a lot of men, is the statement that, “one man can make a difference”. That really resonates with men,
And boys. Its a kind of purpose or sense of self determination that inspires men. Its very powerful what that car represents as a symbol of goodness, righteosness and justice. Good men are made from these kinds of symbols. Boys only need a guide to show them the right way to be, to believe and to preserve life.
Can't believe we have Kitt in New Zealand. Would love to see this one of these days
Very cool ❤
Very cool :) Here in Finland KITT was touring with Circus Finlandia in summer of 1987 but sadly I missed the opportunity to see KITT myself :/
Wish i could see it again i was 4 years old when i got to sit in it when it was on tour here in the u.s. in 86
This is very cool, I have a photo just like this of myself at 8 yes old sitting in KITT in Birmingham Alabama in the 80’s! Awesome
So fascinating to see hard core fans reunited with the tour car Kitt
That was a really cool video.
this was amazing! thank you!
Neat seeing the then and nows of these people.
Very cool what they did here. Still have my Poloroids sitting in a frame. Somewhere I have a cassette that I recorded Kitt talking while at the show.
That’s surreal😮 ! I am from Switzerland and I also got a Polaroid of me sitting in Knight Rider when I was 4 or 5 y.o., that was in 1988-1989
I had the pleasure of seeing kitt at cobo hall when I was a teenager, I hope Joe and aj will bring kitt and the semi and trailer back to Michigan one day! Ty Joe and Aj for all the information and showing us the restoration of these mighty vehicles.
I miss the programme too .on tv .from uk i love it aswell .
Very cool to see that car back in NZ. I remember when "K.I.T.T" came to Bishopdale Mall in the 80s and me being so young wondering A where was Michael and B why the public could just sit in this crime fighting machine. When it came my turn to sit in the car I refused and got a photo of the empty interior which is now lost to time haha. Thanks KRH much love.
Great piece of Knight Rider history.
So very cool that the little kid in these adults is still alive and in awe of K.I.T.T..
The cool factor of this reunite is off the charts 👍
@KNH Do you know what Tour Car was in Austria in the eightys?
was a cool Moment as a Kid sitting in Kitt.
I wish I could have kept the picture of myself sitting in the kitt car when it was in Winnipeg way back in the 80’s. it disappeared somehow over the years.
So very very cool! What a great day that must have been for them!
Hey KNH! This is some awesome experience you got going today. It's pretty impressive to see fans turn up older than they used to be when they saw K·I·T·T· in person. Let me know what the status is on the Visual FX video. Thanks.😜😎✌
I never got to sit in KITT back then in the 80s. I am still at the same address as back then. It is 41 Connolly Street, Lower Hutt. If you come down again drop in.
I loved KITT from day one but the day I got to sit in KITT and talk to "Him" as a kid at Universal began my Obsession with KITT. :D
That's actually pretty cool
I use to watch the programme of knight rider a lot i enjoy it aswell i use to have the book of the knight rider and iam a fan .from uk .
very much appreciated...so cool...
Superb! Wonderful to see old and new fans with one of the KITT's!
My old item on my bucket list is to ride in a Kitt replica. Since owning one I know is out of the question
02:11 This K.I.T.T. scanner looks very different. Eg.: not 8 bulbs config, not running as smooth. But the interior looks very good.
If i recall I sat in that car as a kid - it was if i recall correctly the Royal New Zealand Easter Show (I think that was that) or an expo type show but I do recall it been in Greenlane Auckland, I always dreamed of 1 day owning a Kitt Car myself, but sadly yet it has not happened, I would love to see this car again.
That’s were my cousin took his pic of KITT. No one in the family could remember but funny his older brother told me how he ran into David Hasselhoff at Three Kings (Auckland) Foodtown in 87.
Excellent video and good music addition!👍👍👍
Wow. Awesome
I'm happy for those guy's.
I have the complete tv series on DVD.
I would love to sit in that car and also go for ah ride.
Kinda made me choke up. Cool moment for fans to do this!
Awesome! Just imagine a ride in Airwolf if there was a flying replica somewhere. Minus the guns and rockets and Mach 1 lol.
thats really neat
Awesome
My neighbor had the same model next door, in black as well...I couldn't understand where the sensor was and why it had that ugly decal...but for a kid who loved Knight Rider? It was as close as I could have hoped. He was kind enough to let me play around a rather nice car.
I hope we se moore Videos about Tour cars ??
Best wish
Pierre Knight
Have you done a video showcasing the differences between Kitt and Karr?
I know I've said this to you a few times. but, I really, really need to find the pics I have from '84 and/or '85 of the display KITT at Universal. I'm pretty sure I took pics of at least three other picture cars during filming, too. once I do, I'll post them on your page (and on Grindr, obviously - did I just say that out loud again???).
When the tours cars toured the USA at my stop at a mall they wouldnt let anybody sit on the seat! Everyone had to sit on the door jam for the pics! My guess is to prevent kids from messing the seat up & urinating!
You gotta love Australians
Hi joe
Did I see parts of a Commodore C64 keyboard on the centre console?
have missing fog lamps at front where the grill is?
Love the leather PMD seats!
Why havent you guys put in a H.O. 350 engine with a mild cam under the hood? You guys got 305s in them TransAms
I want a knight rider AKA KITT but there expensive and not easy to find one decent one for sale...
heavy accent - but really nice :)
What is the issue the accent. Its New Zealand.
@@adamn7516 I always remember the Irishman trying to talk with a Kiwi. They just couldn't understand each other XD
Sorry,lm not impressed with that particular example.......if it's not screen accurate I'm not interested...sorry ,I know bits had to be replaced etc
