Did you know that Ford is auctioning off the two KITT vehicles used in NBC’s made-for-TV movie that will hopefully turn into a pilot episode for a new series?

For me, that’s like a dream come true. I grew up watching David Hasselhoff fight the bad guys in the original Knight Rider TV show. And then my heart grew all aflutter when I heard about the TV movie in February. And I was even more excited when I heard that NBC might bring back the entire series based on the popularity of the movie.

And now I can go to the 6th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event on March 29 and put a bid in for one of the sleek, black Ford vehicles used in the movie. But it’s also for a good cause. The proceeds will benefit the Salute to Education, a program that offers tuition assistance to students who couldn’t otherwise afford college.

If you can’t make it to West Palm Beach, you can watch the auction of the KITT 3000 on the SPEED Network. The entire auction, occurring at the Americraft Expo Center at the South Florida Fairgrounds, is getting live coverage all across the country. You might even catch a glimpse of your favorite celebrity, says Steve Davis, president of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company.

Don’t miss this one-time event! How many cars are as famous and recognizable as KITT? Not many, I say.
