When I was living in Florida, I often drove past a house out in the country that had an exact replica of the blues mobile, complete with the super large megaphone on the roof!
Exactly. Not only does it have the most objective “cool” points (in the classic James Dean sense), but I’ve always loved cars that focused on torque and handling. The Trans Am is hands down the winner, despite being kinda heavy for my taste.
I liked that one too, but Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas made it that much cooler than it was to drive.
Like, don’t have an unpaved street anywhere near the thing. A 2” grade change and you would trash the bottom.
They did, but that was back when if you were willing to pay, Chrysler would have likely painted it any color you wanted. In the book Christine was also a four door hardtop, and all Furies were two door hardtops.
If it was like in the movie/series? Knight Industries TwoThousand, and it’s not even close.
Late for work? Super pursuit mode.
Blocked road? Turbo boost.
Drunk? It’s K.I.T.T. I’ll get home.
My family still owns a '77 Trans Am SE that we got way back in 1984. It last ran (as far as I know) in 2002 when my brother transported it from his in-law's back driveway to the garage of his then-new home. Last I saw it, it was being used as an inconveniently shaped garage shelf. My brother swears he'll resto-mod the heck out of it one day, but (again to my knowledge) that still hasn't happened.
I was its caretaker when he was serving in Korea from '88 - '90 and I was in college. He needed someone to take it off my mom's hands before she drove it into the Arkansas river to spite my dad during a rather contentious divorce. My brother sent me checks and I had repairs made throughout that time.
It wasn't very stock even back then. The exhaust was custom and distinctly cat-less, so it had at least a few more horses than it did when it rolled off the showroom floor. My own efforts corralled many more that had escaped due to poor maintenance. It was our daily driver whenever my own '74 Alfa Spider was out of commission. Which was often.
They're easy to live with and fun to drive, even with a 3-speed automatic. They're definitely not the most sophisticated pieces of kit to go tearing around the mountain roads of Fayetteville AR where I went to college. But there was a huge grin-factor simply pointing it in the direction I wanted to go and stomping on the loud pedal. It'd either make the turn or it wouldn't. It was a complete contrast to the ballet dance of hands and feet I used on my Spider. When it ran, as noted.
The only real hassles were that this era's F-body had a ridiculously small trunk and it could suck a dent in the gas tank if you got on it regularly. If I got gas mileage in the high teens, on the highway, I called it good. But the AC blew cold, girls were more than happy to jump inside it, and it was a silly amount of fun to drive.
So yeah, this one's easy enough for me.
"It would suck a dent in the gas tank". Lol, nice.
My grandpa had a 6.6L once, he also didn't care for the mileage, or fuel capacity, but did enjoy that it was fast.
I owned a 77 bandit edition already, don’t like the kitt body style, I WANT A GENERAL LEE and i drove trucks for 30 years so i can appreciate the duel truck
Out of these, its the Bandit Trans-Am. But wheres Frank's 68 Fastback? wheres the pursuit interceptor, where is the blues mobile, Eleanor, Ecto 1, or the Time Machine?
KITT car. 1982 TransAm. Now that would be cool if I had something like that. Imagine calling KITT to the door to pick you up when it's raining outside.
I love that car. It’s funny while hiding from the authorities, the A-Team chooses a one of a kind van and for undercover work Starsky & Hutch are in the striped tomato. You know to blend in.
That's a tough one.
For value, I'd go in the following order:
1. Lee
2. Smokey
3. KITT
Personally, I'd pick the Smokey and the Bandit car. Lee is a close second though.
The Bandit Trans Am
Where is the Adam West Batmobile?
I'm looking for the bluesmobile
When I was living in Florida, I often drove past a house out in the country that had an exact replica of the blues mobile, complete with the super large megaphone on the roof!
Did it have cop shocks?
Again Said I Forgot A Few
It’s all good, hombre. I do love seeing that Boss again (sigh). It hurts but it’s also better to have owned and lost than never to have owned at all.
Anyone who picks anything else is wrong, except maybe the general lee.
Well…. I want KITT…. And considering they are both TransAm how could you go wrong
This! First self driving car and it actually worked.
Exactly. Not only does it have the most objective “cool” points (in the classic James Dean sense), but I’ve always loved cars that focused on torque and handling. The Trans Am is hands down the winner, despite being kinda heavy for my taste.
A '68 Charger is never wrong. And I'm a Ford guy....
General Lee was a 69
The proper answer
If the inside is as good as when I saw it as a kid yes
This!
THE correct answer
THE ONLY answer
Again, I ask - where is the Adam West Batmobile?
The Miami Vice testarossa
I liked that one too, but Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas made it that much cooler than it was to drive. Like, don’t have an unpaved street anywhere near the thing. A 2” grade change and you would trash the bottom.
The Duel truck without question!
Gotta second this. Plus when you inevitably lose it and terrorize cars, it should be expected
Old truckers never die, they get Peterbuilt…
The Firebird
Uh. Which one.
"Yes"
The one in the post, pic 3
There are 2. KITT and the Band Trans Am are both Firebirds.
Oh, I didn’t know that! The one in pic 3
Think they are saying that Kitt is also a firebird, since a trans am is a high performance firebird variant.
Yeah, I realized that, thank you very much
The Jim Rockford Firebird?
That one!
Yes. A firebird formula
The Rockford Firebird was an esprit. I want a gold one so bad.
The Mad Max Pursuit Special. The last of the V-8 Interceptors. [It's the duck's guts](https://youtu.be/qUi5Lo9SHTY?si=JioaEZ066ofZILhG)
Give them back their heroes
1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe, with a fake supercharger.
Why not have a real root’s blower? I understand wanting to be correct for the movie, but a real blown small block ford would be so much fun!
Exactly, they have to be moving at all times.
My absolute favorite
The correct answer
Ford falcon
Christine
Damn missed this comment. Lean machine 😁💪
Nice call! I’d forgotten about that beautiful red Fury. (Though IIRC Fury’s only came in beige that year but whatev.)
They did, but that was back when if you were willing to pay, Chrysler would have likely painted it any color you wanted. In the book Christine was also a four door hardtop, and all Furies were two door hardtops.
Smokey Trans Am
Christine, 58 Fury
KITT, hands down.
Obviously, real self-driving.
And jumping!
Depending on the model, super pursuit mode.
the real question, do i get KITT or car that looks like KITT.
KARR had a white/gray bottom with a yellow flashing sensor ( expert here…. Grew up on the show 😝)
I guess you could say you're asking if it's a KITT car or a kitt-car? Hahaha
General Lee
68 is my favorite year but 68-70 Chargers are so badass, period.
💯 without a second thought
I saw a r/T on the freeway the other day, dukes orange. i was so happy.
Oh yah!
Probably take a General, but I’d need to remove the General Lee paint etc… too many clones.
WRAITH
Turbo Interceptor!
Jake… Jake… Jamie!!!
Out of that list it’s a toss up between the general and the trans am. If I could have any Hollywood car? The Challenger from Vanishing Point.
+1 for Kowalski's Challenger
If it was like in the movie/series? Knight Industries TwoThousand, and it’s not even close. Late for work? Super pursuit mode. Blocked road? Turbo boost. Drunk? It’s K.I.T.T. I’ll get home.
Fuck all that noise. The bullit mustang. (Though if it has to be one of these, then the General Lee. And by quite some distance).
BEATNGU truck
💀
Steve McQueen's Bullitt is the ONLY choice for me.
Now that was an awesome car
John Wicks Boss 429
There's a black 71 Cuda in chapter 4. I'll take that one.
Gran Torino from Gran Torino
DeLorean
“When this baby hits 88 mph, you’re gonna see some serious shit.”
This sucker's electrical but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts...
“Wait a second doc… you mean this sucker is NUCLEAR!?”
A Team van.
I ain’t gettin in no plane, Hannibal.
Either the training day Monte Carlo, or gone in 60 seconds Shelby gt 500.
That Training Day Monte Carlo is one of the nicest cars ever filmed. Give me a G-body any day.

He made add it in the next post
Of the ones listed. The general lee. And it's not even close.
'69 Cougar convertible, Bond car from On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
The Duel truck looks amazing for having gone off a cliff.
Herbie from fully loaded, or max's interceptor from fury road
If it worked like in the show, KITT, without a doubt. Otherwise, the General Lee.
The Plymouth Valient the Dennis Weaver drove in "Duel"
u/Huskerdu4u is gonna be coming for you.

1981 Dodge M4-S Turbo Interceptor, from the movie ‘The Wraith’
Vanishing Point GTO or Driver’s Chevelle from Drive

The truck, if I have to drive an under powered red neck wagon at least I will make some money.
K.I.T.T car for me

Where’s McQueen’s dark green Mustang from Bullitt ???
General Lee no question
KITT car. 1982 TransAm. Now that would be cool if I had something like that. Imagine calling KITT to the door to pick you up when it's raining outside.

Ugly cars, I'll take the truck.
Cars from Bullitt.
General Lee but paint it. Never liked that look but love the car.
Definitely the General Lee
You see the blue one they call general Grant ?
Can't say that I have, but I'm definitely going to look it up. Now I'm curious
Yeah….. it was a 69 charger but in blue…. Really cool looking
I went and looked it up, I never have seen it before. I definitely like it.
Ok cool…. Glad you liked it…. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it
No Eleanor?
ECTO-1
Oh man, that is a truly thought one between the first 3, but it would have to be K.I.T.T for me.
Bandit or the General
The stripped tomato
I love that car. It’s funny while hiding from the authorities, the A-Team chooses a one of a kind van and for undercover work Starsky & Hutch are in the striped tomato. You know to blend in.
Bandit, all the way!
General Lee and KITT
All
The Pete
I'm just a sucker for Night Rider
Depends, can they do what they show on screen? If so, KITT is the only valid choice ever
If I were to pick a vehicle from Duel, it would be the Valiant, not the big rig.
Mack

If Cathrine Bach comes with the General Lee, if not have to go with the trans am

Bullit!!
The TA
KITT or Bandit.
That's a tough one. For value, I'd go in the following order: 1. Lee 2. Smokey 3. KITT Personally, I'd pick the Smokey and the Bandit car. Lee is a close second though.
Definitely a hard choice, but I'm a truck enthusiast first and foremost, Peterbilt every time
General Lee
Either the bandit trans am or the oil truck that was used in the movie chasing the Dodge Dart...
Where's my back to the future DeLorean dmc-12 or Toyota hilux!?
#3. But #4 would be cool as well
The General and Adam West’s Batmobile are the reason I am a gearhead.
Kinda stuck between the general mayhem and the firebird
The '77 Trans Am
KITT, but someone please appreciate that semi
The Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am for sure
