We were honored to have you are our guest! KITT said you were "acceptable human" which is a pretty big compliment coming from him. A more in depth look at this car will be coming soon on the Knight Rider Historians channel!

The sight of two grown men having a conversation with kitt is priceless.

That chap who owns the car was soooo welcoming and totally understood the assignment. What a great guy! I'm glad there are people like that in the world. Best wishes from the UK!

The incredible thing about this car is that, 40 years later, it still looks modern and powerful, much more beautiful than today's vehicles. Thanks to Glenn A. Larson and Universal Studios for bringing this and other wonderful TV series to the youth of the '80s, and to Stu Philips for the extraordinary theme song.

If you were a kid in the 80s, this was the coolest car you'd ever see.

I'm 47 and still get goosebumps whenever I see KITT! Glad that you and the most excellent Knight Rider Historians are keeping the spirit alive.

Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows from my youth. As a kid born in '75, this hits all the nostalgia buttons. As many of us in the '80s, I made much of our cosplay items from markers, cardboard and masking tape. I recall creating a static scanner bar from crayola markers and cardboard and fastening it to my Huffy bike so that K.I.T.T. and I could ride around the neighborhood. I could be like Michael Knight, "a young loner on a crusade, to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless." I had the good fortune to to have my Dad take me to see one of the K.I.T.T.'s at the Fresno Fairgrounds at a show called Autorama sometime in the '80s. Somewhere, lost to the sands of time (and probably a refuse heap at this point) is an overpriced picture of me sitting in the drivers seat of K.I.T.T. Young me was just over the moon to be able to do that! Thank you AJ (and Joe) for all you have done to keep this awesome show and history of its vehicles alive, and thank you to Parifractic for your love of the show like so many of us from that time period. Blessings!

Thank you to the Knight rider historians, for keeping KITT in good standing order. I like many kids watched knight rider as a child, they are some of my happiest memories when life wasn't so complicated.

Always will be the coolest car ever designed. And this is the actual one from the show. Thanks for sharing!

So awesome to have a chance to meet a real KITT! You deserve it! That end bit put tears in my eyes. It is so kind and what we KR fans are all thinking.

Amazing video! I almost cried at the end when you left the note saying « Kitt, thank you for my childhood ». That is exactly what I have felt like for 40 years and you just found the right words. 🥺🙏

One can tell how dedicated AJ is to preserving and maintaining it. Love how he keeps staring at the host's face with those eyes pleading for approval, just like how my kid looks at his friends fawning over the Lego toy he painstakingly put together. It's almost like he's 12 years old again... I'd be the same if I owned that KITT!

That intro was really well acted and nailed the look of the original, very cool. Must feel very unreal to be inside the car you watched on TV as a kid, you'd never have expected that to ever happen.

I've been following Knight Rider Historians since they obtained the FLAG Trailer used in the show. They had just begun stripping it down to start a restoration on it. You know these guys will give the semi-truck and the trailer the same love and attention that all the KITT cars have gotten.

Did anyone else cry like a baby when KITT fell into the pit (or sink hole, don't recall I was young lol). I can't forget that feeling of despair when I thought he really died.

Getting goosebumps.. I am from India and we may have watched with a 5 year lag.. I was 5 when I watched it on our national television (just one channel back then) in 1989.. the Pontiac Trans on it's own is pretty stylish

I had a Camaro of that same year that I used to deliver thousands of pizzas in the mid 90s. I'm so impressed with the preservation of your KITT, as I remember the entire family of those cars being VERY fragile, for lack of a better word. The shift lever was mentioned in the video, and I doubt the original survived. I used to carry superglue with me because the button would spring off at random times, and I just had to keep it together. Those interior door handles were a big problem too. They were made of some sort of random GM "Metal" that looked like a mix of dull glitter and sand when it would break. Really neat to see it in the shape I always imagined it, and not the state I experienced.

This man just saved everyone's childhood dream. KITT is like the Mona Lisa ,but a lot cooler. Thank you Sir!!!

Im SO happy for you! And what a privilidge to be invited to this retro party 😊👍
