It'd almost be worth it if that money included a proper rear axle.

Even an IRS mustang wouldn't be worth $300k.

@FuzzyPlushroom: a 9 inch with cal trac bars 4.33 gears and a spool?

You drive it off the lot and it depreciates 275k...

Barrett-Jackson is getting about as tiresome as Michael Jackson.

i noticed that the "attack mode" version didn't even have that kinda-cool pop-up metal shifter... it just had the factory automatic gear selector (the entire interior actually looked stock, but then again, if you look at the movie-car interior that's a plus.).

wonder how many proper original KITT replicas you could build for 300K?

@FuzzyPlushroom: By "proper axle" you mean rocket axle, right?

@smokeydog001: @Novaload:

@smokeydog001: Ya, but which big BJ actually gives bjs. . . .

That was out of line, im sorry. :(

@graverobber: Wow, a .gif! Isn't this a first for Jalopnik?

@Novaload: Nope, we had one for the Dodge Challenger P-Shop chop as well.

@Ray Wert: I remember that one: orange-gray-orange-gray-orange-gray...

BYW; I am of the opinion that with KITT, the Mustang may have "jumped the shark." It is my hope that the new Camaro doesn't "JTS" prior to actually being available at the dealers.

@graverobber: OK, so if the Mustang jumps over a Tiburon--wait, did Hyundai really mean for it be shark? Why would a Korean company use a Spanish word for shark on a model selling in American and presumably other non-Spanish speaking countries as well? Well, we had Sting Rays and 'Cudas and most of the other animal names are predators or wild and aggressive beasts like Cougar and Jag and Eagle and of course, Mustang--oh, wait. There's where I came in. Nighty-night, KITTs, please place yourselves in standby mode.

$300K bid on the KITT-cars? Yours!

My guess is that the show will go forward but they will use a 2009/10 updated Mustang for the series rather than the Mustnags from pilot.

Does this mean that there isn't going to be a remake of the series after all? Great! This made for TV movie was bad, very bad, with some of the worst acting ever! So I guess there's space that opened up on the NBC schedule for, what, another "deal or no deal" type of game show? Frankly, I don't know what is worse.....

@Novaload: Of course. IRS'd only add ten grand or so in value.

Barrett-Jackson is creating the next bubble, and when it pops Craig Jackson will be running out of the bank like that Malibu commercial.

The guy who bought the KITT 2000 show car (from the last time they tried to bring back Knight Rider) is licking his lips and thinking "Here's my chance!!"

You know, I too am getting fed up with all the thousands of "special edition" Mustangs that are out there... but all you have to do is go back to the main page, and look at the photos for this article and the one below it. Then you realize, live rear axle or not, the retro Mustang is still a better looking car, even a few years into production, than the retro Camaro, which hasn't even hit the market yet.

@Pope Dearthair the Awesometh: Youre fed up now? Its a long standing tradition for Mustangs to have a billion editions. Even going back to the early 60s.

Sometimes, I just don't get people.

@Novaload:

America IS a Spanish-speaking country, so Tiburon works perfectly well here. As do Tucson and Santa Fe.

Ford did a IRS on the 03-04 Cobra. It was not so good and lots of 03-04 cobra's have left parts from the rear end on the pavement. I believe they took the design from Mazda.

it would all end perfectly if whoever bought them drove each to a crusher

Does it come with the Surfer-Cop Lesbians?

Nice looking rides.

So I guess the show will not continue. I missed the special, but I heard that was a good thing.
