thought you may find this interesting. if i remember correctly you had your replica built by yourself appraised at quite a bit more than this didnt you?

Yes i've seen it and know the person personally who rebuilt it. I already own a fully functional replica, that car has been through hell and back, but it would be cool to say I own a piece of the show but i'm content with what I have. The price of my relica is approaching close to $185,000 in parts and labor. My stated cash value is appraised at $150,000 if it get stolen. I've tried to remove the "cheese" effects and in my case every display means something and every button does something...........now to get it under 10 secs.....

Kittmaster: I've seen your website, and I am very impressed. I am also not at all suprised to hear that the car being auctioned has lived a hard life. I remember seeing one of the original General Lee cars at a car show once. 
Now THAT was an abused car!
Okay, now the dumb question: wasn't KITT supposed to be powered by a jet turbine engine? How come on the show you would sometimes hear the car producing a jet-like sound, but then othetr times it would have a definite V8 rumble? That's always bothered me...
