Love all this history you're keeping alive. Another awesome video.
I LOVE these videos. I wonder if Universal ever had any idea these old parts would be in demand when they disposed of them... almost like an afterthought.
Those videos are worth more than gold for me. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I would love to know more about the blind cars they used on the show 🙏🏽👍🏼 good work! Keep the videos coming
The second Gullwing Steering Wheel with the access door on it's facial, can clearly be seen during Season 2's episode, "Ring of Fire". That particular steering wheel is featured early in the episode, after Michael Knight was shot at by Cray (Christopher) Callan. KITT drives to Michael's rescue..., then breaks into a 180 slide (while opening the door for Michael to get inside). As Michael Knight hops inside KITT, the access door on the face of the Gullwing Steering Wheel can be seen from the Passenger's side camera point-of-view.
Now I want to know more about the red turtleneck shirt 😂😂😂
I remember there was a Season 2 episode where Hasselhoff wore it throughout the episode just so they could have continuity to reuse Pilot footage of KITT crashing through a jail wall. 😀
@@tryksta7247 actually it was a first season episode
Love your videos!
Building my own kitt replica and I love learning all these details.
I was at universal studios in 1988 and i saw and spoke to kitt I actually have video.
It's pretty cool to see that may have been the car..
I had asked kitt a question how much was he worth and if I can buy him.. he replied with you can't afford me.... And after that I said to myself I will own it one day.
Over 30yrs later I'm building my kitt.
Going to have my childhood dream ride come true..
thanks for all the great videos.
We would love to see that video! Email us at knightriderhistorians@gmail.com
I always wanted a KITT steering wheel. I still get a kick out of it. Got to sit in KITT when I was a youngster but it was my baby brother that got to touch the steering wheel.
Thanks for all the detailed info and the history, I really appreciate your passion and dedication. This TV show reminds me of my teen days, I never get bored watching this show even if I have to watch it hundred thousand times.
Boy this video makes you feel like being there inside the car without actually being there. So up close and intimate.
cool screen used wheels thank you
Du hast ein schönen kitt mein freund, finde deine Kanal gigantisch. Bleib grsund und mach weiter so.
Wonderful video Joe, and it is awesome to see the original props!! Congratulations, you guys rock!!
10:55 Excellent restoration. Looks so fresh and brand new again. Michael Scheffé's design still looks & feels very modern and fresh even with today's very gadget & computerised oriented car dashboards. Two screens for watching a bit of telly on the go!
I just started following u and yes I’m a big knight rider fan I remember seeing the very first episode so with that all i ask please when all this corona crap is over and if u come to nyc even nj please let me know please so i can see for my self thank u great job on kitt
Awesome can’t wait for move screen used from knight rider props.
Been watching from the start in 1982 and never noticed
I didn't notice lights on the steering wheel
Great video. Great information. I love getting the detail looks on what in the show we might’ve gotten a two second clip of.
Awesome! Thank you!
I always thought that it was only KITT's accelerator pedal that had the lights, not the steering wheel
It's in the opening credits
Awesome!
These videos are awesome keep them coming!
Great to see these. KITT was ahead of his time. I remember David saying that formula one cars now have steering wheels like that. And a lot of the new hi-tech cars have copied the idea.
Thanks for all
I love your videos man! Keep 'em coming :)
I've always wondered why car designers don't have the center consoles angled toward the driver, like KITT's were. I'm not saying it should look like KITT, just not parallel to the dash.
I've seen those green lights in the series, but never found out what they where intended for
Have you guys considered also making copies of the original parts and selling them in your shop cause i would love to get my hands on one of those. 😅
Hmmmm.......
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial I don't know what to gather from this answer. 😅😅
Hi Joe Another excellent Video!!. Its been a lot of years gone by and I could be wrong but .I believe that the first wheel that you showed is the one that I had to repair back in the late 80's and I assume that it is on the Car you have now and you drive yourself I can't put a date to it, but I am pretty sure it was on one of my first visits to work on K.I.T.T that I had to repair it , I didn't have much time to repair the damage that some one caused ..Not sure why anyone would deface a beautiful Steering yoke like that by cutting a chunk out of it . But as you know there is all kinds of Crazies out there I had to borrow some two part epoxy paste from Universal maintenance , it was a quick and dirty job and I didn't have time to sand it as well as I wanted to Because I had about 10mins to work before the park opened to the general public ,So I sprayed some black lacquer over it trying to match up the paint as best I could ..I think its cool you still have it , Hell I wish I had it to hang up on my K.I..T.T. STILL ROCKS WALL with my Flag, License Plate, and Shadow Box with Original K.I.T.T Parts that you sent me .As always You and Sarah and the Kids , STAY SAFE ,AND KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK FOR THE FOUNDATION !! Later Jake
Always wondered what the emblem on the steering wheel was meant to be, but now I see it's actually a knight's helmet.
Love it great video
Awesome
What’s interesting about this is a few KITT replica owners hate this wheel because it hits them in the nuts when they have to turn hard or fast.
Are the screen used ones not as wide?
Yes I believe there not as wide as replicas, but in the show they never show michael taking hard turns.
Ist das ein original kitt was du hast oder hast du es selber zusammengestellt aus orgonal teile?? Super
My question is - what about the “seat suit”? In season one, I remember that when KITT was self driving, it was really a driver wearing a suit that looked like the drivers seat...
The buttons should be the second most important
Speaking of steering wheels, in one DVD extra Jack Gill said they had a car with two steering wheels - one on each side - so they could shoot scenes where KITT would drive up and MK would get in without a switcharoo (he said the Hoff would always try to take over driving duties from the stunt driver). Any info on those cars?
Yep we will cover that one - it still exists!
Awesome stuff. Particularly interested in that issue with the hole in the center of one of the wheels.
It always appeared to me that there was a pilot wheel with the "Knight Two Thousand" lettering and then an alternate car using a wheel with an indented hole in the center swapped back and forth between seasons 1 and 2.
The "hole" actually appeared more like a design indent and not for practical stunt use. Can you confirm if that was the case? Or were all the center holes always for stunt work?
The original Scheffe wheel had a hole in the center for mounting the wheel that he covered up with a piece of styrolite. When the wheel was molded by universal, that hole in the original wheel created the indent you see in the copies.
Weird question, do you know what brand they used for his leather jacket?
Did u say lights on the season 3/4 steering wheel???
I have a question regarding the first wheel shown . .on the underside access door.
Once removed does this give you direct vision to spline thread and nut ?
If this is correct , how come all the versions shown " off car" show a mounted rear boss,moving the splines further from the wheel ? .
Why ? and is there a set measurement of rear boss stand off ..
Thank you for your time .
if you were looking for night rider memorbilia or props from the show. where would you look or to purchase stuff?
After seeing this video and hearing about lights on the steering wheel, which I didn't remember / never noticed, I cannot find a picture of this in season 3/4. I'd love to see what that actually looked like.
Another great vid thanks! What are the main differences in the dimensions of each of the gullwings?
The tour car wheel is much bigger, especially in the hand grips section.
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial Guess the Hoff's long legs might have meant a smaller wheel for S2!
Ours is solid aluminum. Thats to that 6 million dollar man.
paint the car black 3.O it would look cool
If it wasn't for KITT, Elon Musk wouldn't have put a yoke in the Tesla cars. Thank you Knight Rider.
Kitt riden debia deser auto bridado de verda y autonomo abrara se cudusiera solo como lo asia en laserie pero sin que nadie lo codusiera dero el veiculo de verda asi seria kitt riden 200 🇺🇾🇪🇸🚙👱♂️🇺🇸👍🤖✅
Why does the most replica steering wheels has the „KNIGHT TWO THOUSAND“ writing right below the red round logo? All your steering wheels doesn‘t have this writing. Was this writing also used in the TV show? I can‘t remember that.
Only on the original wheel in the pilot did it have those words
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial Thanks for your answer! I didn‘t know that!!!
Question, does the turbine sound come from a speaker underneath the car?
Interesting video right there... I love that you guys have that pieces of history of that great show called Knight Rider... can I ask you a question... is not about the steering wheels... it’s actually about the season 3/4 hero KITT car... what happened with that vehicle? Did universal destroyed or it is one of the surviving Knight 2000’s? I think it was called KITT #1777 I think 🤔
1177 now is in UK in private hands.it was restored by Marks Custom Kits many years ago.Now it had replica 2 tv dash inside
The season 3/4 hero car is still alive and well and in a private collection.
Knight Rider Historians
Wonderful news... thank you 💪🏻👍🏻
Michael Knight
Thanks for your reply Michael 👍🏻💪🏻
What about on-screen used watch(es) ? You have any info about it?
Oh yes! In due time!
@@KnightRiderHistoriansOfficial is there any exisiting piece?
HI does any one know what hapened to the Black Semi from Knight rider , thanks
Mr B How about the semi rig from Smokey and the Bandit? I used to occasionally see it on the highway in the 1980’s when I lived in North Carolina.
Oh yes i remembrer it and you where lucky to see it, as im in the UK
Oh the thing i saw once where Police Boxes like the Tardis,but real and they where made out of concrete
Would you release the schematic of the voice box to the public?
The 2 season episode knight in shining armor. When Michael carries girl out pass Biff That wheel is in that episode
You smasched your screwdriver and probably gave it another scar
I could of held that wheel in June of 85
Where on dash the c button
I'm all but certain that was on an insert dash and never in the actual cars.
Correct!
Tesla model s stole this design steering wheel
I love KITT but never liked the steering wheel.
