(CNN) -

David Hasselhoff will auction his personal KITT, a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am styled after the iconic car used in the 1980s television series "Knight Rider" (known in Latin America as' The Fantastic Car 'or' The Car amazing').

The vehicle is similar to the KITT used by his character Michael Knight, but was not used in television production, according to the auction site.

Unfortunately, this version of the car does not speak.

"The sleek black KITT car is fully functional with the brightly colored illuminated dash and console that would be immediately identifiable by Knight Rider fans," according to Diligent Auctions, which is handling the sale.

The current bid for the car is nearly $ 500,000, exceeding the projected estimate of $ 175,000 to $ 300,000.

As a bonus, if the winning bid is 25% higher than the reserve price, the 68-year-old actor will personally deliver the car to the new owner.

If the car is out of your price range, a Hasselhoff autographed toy pedal version of the car will also be up for auction.

It is currently trading for more than $ 1,000, up from the pre-auction estimate of $ 400 to $ 500. The auction site notes that it "needs a bit of TLC to function properly."

The car is part of a Hasselhoff memorabilia auction that includes costumes, awards, scripts, toys and autographed items from his acting career.

The auction ends on January 23.

"Knight Rider" aired on NBC for four seasons from 1982 to 1986. Hasselhoff was the title character, but the vehicle was just as much a star of the show as he was.

In the series, KITT was a voice-activated supercomputer-powered car that was autonomous and equipped with advanced surveillance technology that helped it detect nearby obstacles.

KITT represented Knight Industries Two Thousand and helped the Hasselhoff character hunt down criminals for a group called the Foundation for Law and Government.

Actor William Daniels was the voice of the car.
