Knight Rider was a TV show that ran only for 5 years (1982 throgh 1986) but it touched millions of fans and reintroduced hot rod performance to an entire generation of kids that were used to 1970's fuel sipping econo-boxes. As we've detailed, this NBC show starred none other than the Hoff, David Hasselhoff, who was a modern rogue warrior battling evil as Michael Knight. KITT - of course, the star of the show, was an advanced vehicle with out of this world artificial intelligence.
Recently, the Knight Rider show was brought back in the form of a "For TV" movie that was broadcast in February. It featured a bad-ass set of Shelby Mustangs that recently fetched over $300,000 in the Barrett Jackson auction.
NBC apparently thought enough of the TV movie to green light it for a debut in the fall as a full show. It's expect that the same TV stars (Justin Bruening and Deanne Russo) will return. Rumor has it that the GT500KR's will ride again. The question is - will they be identical copies of the versions that were recently sold at BJ?
