Digital dashes were available for 2 years. 1987 and 1988 on TAs. That would be a good search filter.

HI man Just thought I would make looking for the right car easier for you. I too am a huge knight rider fan, just look at my car, but the car you want is a 1982 Recaro Trans Am. It was the car he drove in the pilot episode of knight rider and then was later transformed into KITT. It has the gold trim package. but know for the bad news these cars are not only rare, they expensive too. so if you are serious about getting a nice one you can either find a restore able one like I did or save up about $4500 and get a decent one. p.s. how old are you if I might ask, I'm 21 it'd be nice to have someone around my age to talk to on here lol.

 

Your post is hard to read. That is all i was trying to convey.

Just so you know Michael Long's Trans Am was a 1982 black and gold car with a tan interior. (I didn't see your last post, you had said "brown" in the first one.) It had the TH350 transmission and a V8 engine. What V8 is a matter of debate as it was never revealed in the TV show. The VIN of the car in question is unknown, so we will never know for sure but I do know that it was one of the first two third gen Pontiac Trans Ams off the production line. They were delivered early to Universal Studios for filming the pilot episode. More cars were purchased later. This information came from Glenn A. Larson himself in a featurette found on the Season 1 Knight Rider DVD. (US release.)

The car had 15" turbo fin rims, D42 cargo shade, CC1 T-tops, power windows, locks, and seemed generally well optioned. The car is often mistaken for a Recaro Edition car by many websites though the seats are clearly PMDs and NOT Recaro seats. Since you only get to see the car at night it is unknown if it had the rear defroster, but KITT certainly didn't. Whether or not KITT was actually Michael Long's Trans Am converted is another matter up for debate. Most people generally accept that KITT was built from that car but I refute that as unlikely if not impossible.

If I were you I'd go for any 1982-1984 car as converting one to look like the car in question would be easier than it is with later years. If you do go for a newer car then it would be best to get a Formula or base model Firebird as they are easier to convert to look like the 1982 Trans Am than the 1985-1992 Trans Ams are. If you could find a 1982 car that would be best as you'd have an easier time building it as there would be less parts you'd need to get. One of these days I'll either buy such a car or build one myself. I actually bought a mint condition "round" shift **** from the junk yard recently with that eventual goal in mind.
