So my dad's car was in a commercial. Here is shortened version of the commercial:

Some pics from his trip to California:

 

 

that is one sweet ride. sweet

 

Nice, how fast is it?

 

rare car....

 

it is quite possibly the slowet thing i have ever driven. my dad spent ~ 5-6 years putting the car together. this car is a damn near perfect replica of the one in the show. If he ever decides to sell it it should go for $60k+.

 

you must have angered KITT and he was not letting you drive..he probally took over

 

Have you seen the movie Benchwarmers? God KITT gets FUBAR'd

 

I saw that. That car is just a George Baris hack job. If you watch it again you will notice how the rearend is all hiked up and ****.

 

u left out this pic of ur dad and u as a lil boy:

 

you are teh

 

 

I know right. The back end had Knight Rider written on it with some huge wing thing.

So where did your dad get all the parts? Especially that dash. Its so crazy! Does it talk?

 

right. you are a waste of bandwidth. go ***** someone else's thread.


he just did some searching online and found sources for all the parts he needed. Him and a friend of his, which just so happens to be the same guy I bought my white car from, did some programming to the electronics so everytime a button is pushed it either says a phrase from the tv show or it does something like pop the trunk or turn something on.

 

i just saw that like 5 mins ago

 

That thing is neat as hell. Did anyone see the epidsode of Dream Car Garage/ Sports car revolution where the larger guy drove a carbon copy of KITT? Was it your dad's?

 

Wow, that's really clean. Nice restoration.

 

Very good looking and it must be fun to own.

 

yeah Iwanted tobuild a replica of that to be my first car. I wound the sites with parts needed for exterior, interior and a/v items. i found another site with directions on how to put it all together. i even planned my performance mod becas i didnt want my kitt to be a slouch. heres the problem. '82-4 ta's are very hard to find. usually when i search for some kind of car i struggle to find a 5spd.the one time i need an automagic all busted 5 speeds

 

I've never seen that show but that car is crazy cool! Commercial is pretty good too. Congrats to your Dad, I'm sure he's really happy.

 

did your dad take it to the point of actually getting the car to talk, now that would be hot, especially if AT&T paid for it to be done

 

nah, that wasn't his car. Interesting though. He might know of the person that owns that car

thank you.

Oh it is. you should see the look on the faces of people working at drive thu windows when we pull up in it. lol

yea, he is. got a nice little paycheck out of it too.

well it talks to a certain extent. there is no artificial intelligence system installed on the car if that is what you are referring to..


thanks to all for the compliments on the car.

 

I wish I was you so I can drive KiTT around..

Very nice job, even the interior... is it functionnal ? speedo?

 

Hell yeah it is

reminds me of replica hot wheels model i had of the KITT car

 

Sweet dude. How high does it jump? More interior pics please!!
