An Illinois museum says a replica of the “Knight Rider” car, “KITT,” has received a speeding ticket from New York City despite never leaving its display. The Volo Museum, located about an hour north of Chicago, says the vehicle—a black 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am replica known as a “Knight Industries Two Thousand (Kitt) lookalike”—has been parked at the museum for years and has not moved. The museum reports that it received a mailed $50 fine after a traffic camera recorded a violation in Brooklyn on April 22, alleging the car was going 9 mph over the speed limit in a 25 mph zone. The museum then shared an image of the ticket on social media, describing it as “100% legit,” and is trying to determine how the citation was issued and why the car is associated with the alleged violation. Multiple outlets report the mystery, including questions about how the ticket reached the museum and whether the listed license plate or similar identifiers match the display vehicle.
