Knight Rider KITT Mustangs sells for $300,000
This weekend’s Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach, Florida, saw a pair of Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR muscle cars from the new Knight Rider series go under the hammer for $300,000. The cars were sold together as a pair and the buyer was also offered the chance to snap up a brand new 2009 GT500KR, one of only 746 cars, for list price.
The cars included the regular KITT Hero (the regular GT500KR) as well as the KITT Attack model (a high-speed version with additional aero parts), and all proceeds from the sale go to benefit Ford’s Salute to Education charity.
Since they’re based on the special edition Shelby GT500KR, all cars also feature an assortment of performance upgrades including a supercharged V8 engine with more than 500hp as well as an upgraded exhaust system, performance suspension and oversized wheels.
Other Mustangs auctioned off include a Roush-tuned P-51A that went for $135,000, as well as an original 1967 Shelby GT500 that went for $190,000.

kitt
forget that mustang KITT wannabe. I'd pay $300,000 if I had it but I want the original! Check out this KITT replica that some dude in Toronto spent $40,000 making and sold for $20,000. Talk about a great investment! The only thing that would be cooler than driving KITT is having Hasselhoff drive it for you!

i think i read that the new knight rider is going to start in either september or october. which means that these people wont be needing the car anyways now as the shooting is done already and there just adding effects to it. but yea 300k is pretty good. i thought that its only the basic car they used with all the lights and performance upgrades, but then i read that it was 2 cars so thats even better.
