For once, an '83 Pontiac Trans Am is actually going to go
up in value because David Hasselhoff sat in
it.The "highly modified" 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, which costarred with the suitably buff Hasselhoff on NBC's Knight Rider from 1982 to '86, is among the nearly 500 Hollywood trinkets, treasures and Ten Commandments tablets going up on the auction block Friday.
Joseph M. Maddalena of the Beverly Hills-based memorabilia dealer Profiles in History said he expects bidding on KITT to open at $35,000.
"Nineteen-Eighties television is just huge," Maddalena says. "That's all people want. It's just the ultimate pop culture icon, and that's what the KITT car is."
Considering that it wasn't worth that much brand spankin' new, I think that the owner of that pile of crap should be glad they get whatever they can for it.
And I'm talking about the KITT
and Hasselhoff's career.
