This giant David Hasselhoff prop is really an explanatory piece.
Diligent Auction Services
If you ever wanted a giant version of actor David Hasselhoff in your home, you’re in luck. A 14-foot-tall model of the actor wearing his distinctive red Baywatch lifeguard swimsuit is for sale through Diligent Auction Services via the Live Auctioneers website.
This excessive model of Hasselhoff makes him stand out as if he is surfing. It was used in the 2004 SpongeBob SquarePants movie, and also during the 2010 Comedy Central Roast of Hasselhoff.
In the SpongeBob SquarePants movie, Hasselhoff, who plays himself, swims across the sea with SpongeBob and Patrick on his back.
The large Hasselhoff strut comes in two parts and is supported on rolling metal shelves. It measures approximately 167 by 54 by 54 inches. It’s really lifelike – right down to Hasselhoff’s back hair.
The estimated highest bid is $ 1,500,000, but if it reaches $ 975,000 on Monday, it could be much more. The live bidding event starts on January 23 at 09:00 PT.
David Hasselhoff and KITT drove the car in Knight Rider around 1982.

This is not the first time this giant Hasselhoff prop has been on the auction block. In 2014, it was about to go on sale at Julien’s Auctions, with an estimated price of $ 30,000 at the time. But Hasselhoff, who owns the prop, decided to take it out of the auction.
If you’d rather bid on another piece of TV pop culture history, Diligent Auction Services is also auctioning off Hasselhoff’s personal KITT Knight Rider car, the AI-enabled Pontiac Firebird from the 1980s TV series. The auction estimate is between $ 175,000 and $ 300,000. Since the car is currently in the UK, the winner must also pay extra for the delivery cost.
Here’s the Hoff’s KITT Knight Rider car on sale at the auction.

From the Diligent Auction Services page showing off the KITT car, it looks like the interior has all the bells and whistles of the prop car. It is described on the auction site as a “fully functional KITT engine with a full conversion engine.”
And that’s not even the best part of the KITT car auction. If the winning bid exceeds 25 percent of the reserve price ($ 975,000), the Hoff will personally deliver the car to the new owner. ‘
