      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 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.

      haha yea, it was right next to a giant shark hanging upside down! The KITT car was placed on a jetty or something over water, so the wheels were hovering over water, while the driver and passenger door areas were over a walk way that was effectively "where KITT was balanced". Great memories.
      The last time I saw KITT on the studio lot, after that attraction went away, was on the side of the road where the studio tram would travel, as it did the lower lot tour. If memory serves me well, it's an area that was staged with Jurassic Park type of props as the tram rolls by, where you can see various parts of Jurassic Park being over run by raptors or something...like set dressing type of materials....the cars parked along that road were random. From Jurassic Park vehicles, old police cars, old TV show cars, and at one time...KITT.

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.

    From what we can recall, the last screen used KITT was actually in David's possession. We don't remember much more though. We know it wasn't buried though. One thing we do know for certain is that as far as Universal Studios is concerned, all screen used KITTs were destroyed after the show was finished. Hence why the original Pontiac wasn't in the movie sequel because they didn't initially plan to make a movie, they were just going to end the series. But that's as far as our knowledge goes.

    It would be fantastic if you found that car,how did you get clearance to roam round Universal?
    Knight Rider was also done on stage 4,that is where Devon's office was.Very interesting video ,Peri and excellently put together..Hope your wife and baby are okay.Have you asked the Knight Rider Historians, they may know where that car is?

    Perry you may not have an authentic screen used Kitt but the one you have is pretty awesome and there’s no reason it couldn’t pass for the real deal as far as making it for everyone to see and experience. I hope one day to see Perry’s Kitt myself. There is only one other Kitt I’d like to see be made and that is an EV that makes the unique Kitt driving sound along with the Turbo Boost sound!

    My name is Devan, parents named me after this show lol. They said Devin was talking to Michael thru kitt during one episode and they said they turned to each other at the same time and said Devan!! or something like that. As my future name right before I was born in 89. I'm a mechanic fabricator and I've seen one of these cars in person, I think it may have been a replica but it was a rlly dam good one. I regret not asking the guy to sit in it for a selfie while I was talking to the owner lol. Woulda been cool if you found what you were looking for, but just make one man and make yours even better. You got enuff money? I'll build you one lol.

    The Auto Experience at Dezerland Park in Orlando has two Kitt cars and from what we were told one was used by David Hasselhoff for promotional stuff. They also have the water version of Kitt from the Knight Rider 3000 movie where it’s basically the red car body on a boat frame with motor in back. 👍

    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.

    KITT probably didn't have a catalytic converter installed in any iteration. If he did then, that would definitely have been a KITT CAT, and PCB would stand for Pontiac's Catalytic Bonmot.
    Keep searching, Perifractic, the magic inherent in Knight Rider still needs to be unearthed and hopefully it will not be Michael Long before you find it.
