The long running saga of the K.I.T.T. replica featured in the movie Benchwarmers continues; after being listed on eBay for the third time, it has failed to sell. The auction closed yesterday with no bids placed on the vehicle, which was modified by customiser George Barris to look like Knight Rider‘s Super-Pursuit Mode, a feature that was introduced in the fourth season of the Original Series.
The car was part of the estate of murdered businessman Andrew Kissel, and the first auction was halted when fans questioned the car’s authenticity. It returned to eBay last month and garnered worldwide publicity that led to a flurry of 43 bids, eventually closing at $53,000, although the sale was not completed.
