Cool Knight Rider GMC General restoration and preservation

I stumbled upon these YouTube videos of some Knight Rider historians who set out to find the General used in the TV show Knight Rider, restore and preserve it back to what she looked like as used in the TV show.

Cool Re: Knight Rider GMC General restoration and preservation

They've uploaded more about the Jimmy General yes, they're gonna restore it back to the way it was purchased by Universal Studios. Yes unfortunately it's powered by a Cummins engine and came out of the factory with a spring suspension and now has air but, they're thankfully getting rid of that air suspension it has and going back to the springs she was born with.
