The tone was completely different than the show, Devin got did wrong..the new KITT was red? The thing about KITT was, it was a Trans Am..it blended in. A bright red concept car as KITT? That never worked for me. Regardless, you have a piece of Knight Rider history. Thanks again for sharing!

Wow! I remember when this thing originally sold 10-years ago. I kind of regretted not putting in a bid after I saw what it eventually went for but it would have just sat and rotted in my garage if I did. I want to say I bought some TKR and original KR prop license plates from the same auction house around that time. I heard the guy had it fully restored and wasn't requesting contact at the time (even heard he managed to track down a set of the wheels which I believe were one-offs). Sad to see the project went no where. Glad to see your putting it back in shape however. The original Trans Am car is my main KITT but this car has always fascinated me. In fact I bought the old Ertl model kit last year and built it!

You'll definitely want to pop the valve covers off and inspect. I'm thinking you may need to replace the rockers if they are sludged up with old oil. If that car uses an internal timing chain rather than a timing belt, you'll probably need to clean out or replace the timing chain hydrolic tensioner as it would be gunked up with that old oil as well. I think that is what that clanking sound was when you had the engine running. It sounded like a timing chain with no tension on it, which would make sense if the oil has sat that long, the tensioner is probably clogged up and can't do its job. Other than that, I bet a good sea foam treatment, to the crank case, maybe run some of that seafoam through your fuel system (or better yet, pull the fuel injectors and give them a sea foam bath) and I a new battery and I bet you it will purr again.

Before adding fuel back, remove the wires or coil packs and spark plugs, and spin it over a while, to circulate the oil before attempting to crank it. Cranking an engine that has sat for that long with out pre-lubing it (and adding fresh oil) is death to bearings and other moving parts.

I remember watching Knight Rider 2000 and thinking at the time how much it sucked. Then a few years after that came Team Knight Rider(which was ok) and about 12 years ago another failed attempt to bring the show back. Even though parts of KITT's technology have become reality, the concept of Knight Rider could still work with the right people involved. It's clear that others think so too since it keeps coming back every decade or so. Hopefully the next attempt will be executed properly.
