Ok, I don't know if this will be helpful at all, but I will tell you this: I've never been on the NBC/Universal payroll, but I did work for most of the major studios, was on the contractor access list, and had free roam of the studio whenever I was there. I can verify that there was indeed a KITT firebird on the lot, and it was almost always parked either in Transportation (the first lot you were in), or out on the Tour (where the Jurassic Park and FatF vehicles are). I'm a little fuzzy on this part, but if I remember right, the Paint Shop

I am lucky enough to have seen and even sat in the final hero car. It's in the UK and I saw it around 2006/2007 ish when it had just been imported. Was a bit surreal as I assumed it was a replica until I was told nope it was 100% the real deal. After looking at it closer it had all the knight rider studio mods, fuel cell in the trunk, no working tailights etc etc.

I remember going to Universal Hollywood and they had a KITT you could sit inside and talk to it. They had someone on the other end talking to people inside it. If you asked a hard question or something they didn't know, they would say "I'm sorry, I can't answer that." It was the coolest thing. I grew up with KITT and had a Kitt with a Michael action figure and you could pull the license plate and hear pre-recorded sounds of KITT talking. I miss Knight Rider. Thanks for the memories.

I really hope you manage to find that KITT and I think you're right, if it was left in a Universal Studios parking lot, it would weather and degrade, just like the original Ecto 1 and Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters 1 & 2. I know they restored the original and there were plans to do the 2nd movie car aswell, but so far as I know, it hasn't happened yet. These awesome TV and movie memorabilia pieces will not survive, if they are not in the hands of the fans. That has already been proven so many times, so all power to you man, I sincerely hope you get your hands on one!

Hey, you have a great channel here :-) I'm from Germany, about 80 miles away from me there is a car dealer that deals in supercars and hypercars. And it is also the official Koenigsegg Germany branch. Some time ago, they had an original used KITT in their vehicle inventory for sale. Unfortunately, I don't know where this car is right now. And I don't know if this message helps you in any way, but I have been one of the biggest Knight Rider fans since I was a child. That's why I can 100% empathize with your great desire to own an original KITT. For me this will always remain a dream, as unfortunately I have been suffering from a very serious illness and my time here is only limited because it can't be fixed anymore. Sorry for my less than perfect English, all the medication has made me a bit forgetful, so I'm trying to watch a lot more videos that are in English and combat that. I wish you from the bottom of my heart that your dream comes true. As a viewer, you really notice how much love you put into your videos and your Knight Rider passion. Many kind regards from Germany

I wonder if some person who works at Universal occasionally drives his replica KITT (or maybe just an old mid-70 to 80s firebird or trans am) to work a few times a year and sets off a series of sightings.

It’s funny you mentioned the crossover episode where KITT was in the same vicinity as Marty. That same episode guest stared an Robbie Rist also know as the series killer. Remember he was cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch. Maybe it’s in the basement of the Alamo?

Someone owns it now, there's another dude on youtube who does Knight Rider content, if you're on about the stunt car that was a space frame with the Trans Am fibreglass shell as if I'm correct that's the only surving K.I.T.T along with another that someones using as a daily I'm guessing as they had it on their driveway I think I remember them fixing or replacing the lights that are sunk into the bumper, I went down a rabbit hole at one point to do with Knight Rider and also whether someone does a K.I.T.T kit that also has Turbo Persuit mode for the Trans Am and through me searching that I just ended up getting suggestions on related videos and I watched someone, I think there was suggestions of another one that was also used as K.A.R.R. too as they went down a whole video of them searching for the different types of paint on the body work, maybe have a look on the Vinwiki videos wouldn't be surprised if it's someone connected to them, I'll try have a look if I can find the videos still, I think also one that people were confused with for a bit was a RC stunt car they also used but due to the part being so short people didn't realise it was a RC car with a RC Knight Industry Lorrie

In the 90s I was at Universal City and ran across a K.I.T.T. car that was broken down. I offered a jump start but it had a ton of extra batteries in the trunk to run all the lights etc so it wouldn't work. It kinda hurt to find a broken one.

Look... KRH found the Semi and the Trailer, so don't give up on this K.I.T.T. car, you're going to find it aswell 😊

Never saw a screen used Kitt. but I saw a screen used Dukes of Hazard Charger in David Jones (or Myers) Adelaide Australia. I wonder if they ever bothered shipping it back to the states.

Now I know you do (or did) work in 'the movies', but how on earth did you manage to get carte blanche for roaming around their stuff? Whenever I ask people to let me in their basement or attic to find holy grails, I'm kicked out and handed over. I am on probation now.
