This giant David Hasselhoff is really a reference piece.

If you’ve always wanted a giant version of actor David Hasselhoff in your home, you’re in luck. A 14-foot-long model of the actor wearing his red Baywatch lifesaver swim trunks is for sale by Diligent Auction Services through Live Auctioneers.
This huge model by Hasselhoff stretched him as if he were surfing the body. It was used in the 2004 SpongeBob SquarePants movie, as well as shown during the 2010 Comedy Central Roast of Hasselhoff.
In the SpongeBob movie, Hasselhoff, who plays himself, swims by the sea with SpongeBob and Patrick on his back.
The oversized Hasselhoff prop comes in two parts and is supported on rolling metal shelves. It measures approximately 167 by 54 by 54 inches. It’s really real – even Hasselhoff’s hair.
The highest estimated bid is $ 1,500,000, but considering it is already at $ 975,000 on Monday, it could end up costing a lot more. The live bidding event starts on January 23 at 9am PT.

This is not the first time that this giant Hasselhoff is up for auction. In 2014, it was about to go on sale at Julien’s Auctions at an estimated price of $ 30,000 at the time. But Hasselhoff, owner of the object, decided to withdraw it from the auction.
If you prefer to bid on another piece of TV pop culture history, Diligent Auction Services is also auctioning Hasselhoff’s KITT Knight Rider personal car, the Pontiac Firebird with AI from the 1980s TV series. Your auction estimate is between $ 175,000 and $ 300,000. Since the car is currently in the UK, the winner will also have to pay extra for shipping costs.
Here’s Hoff’s KITT Knight Rider car up for auction.

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