Ford Motor Company will auction two of the actual KITT Shelby Mustangs used in NBC’s "Knight Rider" pilot at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event on March 29, in West Palm Beach, FL.

The cars will be sold to benefit Salute to Education. They appeared as Shelby GT500KRs that had been transformed into a "Knight Industries 3000" (KITT) for the show. SPEED will broadcast the sale of the KITT Mustangs live during its auction coverage.

Ford partnered with NBC to create a new KITT supercar, inspired by the new Shelby GT500KR, to star in the "Knight Rider" TV series, which premiered on NBC on February 17, 2008. "Super KITT" and "Attack Mode KITT" will be sold as a pair.

"The Barrett-Jackson event in Palm Beach always attracts celebrities, and this year someone will take home two genuine TV stars," said Steve Davis, president of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. "This is a once in a lifetime chance to own a pair of celebrity cars, while also supporting a worthy charity."
