Very cool project! My older brother was huge into Knight Rider from '82 when the show started. He built a KITT replica in '83-'84 when the show was still on.
You are better off with an '86 than an earlier car as the 3rd gen cars got better as years went up. Also, IMHO you are better off w/o T-tops. No leaks! It can get pretty expensive getting them not to leak...
I believe I have a set of take off tail lights from my old '84 T/A. They have been stored indoors since 1990 and are in really nice shape as I recall. You may rather a set of crappy ones though, since you will need to drill into them to attach the tail light blackout panel. Anyway, PM me if you are interested.

if ur doing a KITT, youre definitely going to want those 84 TA tail lamps. They are the correct ones underneath the black out panel.
All 3 of my 3rd Gen TAs had TTops.... and they ALL leaked like crazy.
Oddly enough, im looking for a GTA with TTops..... weird..
