  • Last Knight 2000 found

    Greetings everyone,
    Though I have been a member here for a long time, I am here to introduce my real 3rd Gen Dream Come True.
    I have located and secured the LAST ever 3rd Gen Pontiac used to portray KITT in a Knightrider show.
    This particular car was used in the 2008 series pilot to show Knight 2000 mothballed in the lab where the new Mustang based K3000 was revealed for the first time.
    The car is definitely a hard life lead stunt car, and was missing tons of little bits (still is). I am sure I will be looking for friendly advice, constructive criticism, and some hopefully easy to find bits of somebody's parts car... as the project comes along.
    In the middle of rebuilding the motor now, and looking for some 88-89 vintage cold air intake stuff for the TPI, Hood hinges, and many little electric bits that were scavenged from the car while it sat before I found it (switches etc from along the bottom of dash, electric window switches, modules from the trunk).
    I will gladly keep you all posted as the project comes along. Please feel free to contact me here, or the curatorial restoration team at www.madmaxcars.com if you would like to be part of the fun.
    History will live again!!!

          Wow that's impressive!! I liked that show. Too bad it didn't last long. A bit of me wishes that they held out for the 5th gen platform to hit.. seemed almost insulting that they used a mustang. Then again, when you pull the plug on a platform, these are the things that you miss out on. I'd love to see pics and lend a hand to help with this piece of history. I'll provide the hoffburgers!
