The original price for this Knight XV was approximately $827,000 and required over 4,000 hours to hand craft.

To own this vehicle is to own a piece of automotive history. This ultra-rare Conquest Knight XV is one of only 100 hand-built units in the world, with this one being the 15th unit completed. Every inch of this Knight XV tells a story of precision and purpose. With forward and rear facing night vision FLIR cameras, you can operate in stealth mode as you blend in with the darkness. Wrapped in fully armored, bulletproof protection, it's a vehicle designed to shield its passengers from the world’s uncertainties while offering the kind of luxury that turns every drive into an experience. Whether you’re navigating the urban landscapes or exploring rugged terrain, the Knight XV’s powerful diesel engine and advanced off-road capabilities make you feel invincible.

This Knight XV was originally purchased and personalized by a high profile gentleman in Vietnam, as identified by his embroidered name on the front seat headrests. It was imported to the US in April 2016 with a reported odometer reading of 6,000 miles. It remained in Massachusetts from 2016 until 2023 when it experienced a fire that started externally and also penetrated the passenger compartment from the rear. The insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss and it currently holds a Massachusetts rebuildable salvaged title.

There is a reserve price and the vehicle will only be sold if the bidding meets or exceeds this reserve.

What You Get

This Knight XV started life as a 2015 F550 Super Duty 4x4 with a 165" wheelbase. The 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel, rated at 300hp/660 lbs torque, and the 6-Speed automatic transmission have extremely low mileage. The exterior of the truck has been restored to Conquest specs following the external fire damage. This included removal of the rear bumper so that it could have the aluminum repaired and electronics fitted. The driver side roof trim over the side windows was fabricated using the other side as a template. It was professionally repainted from the rear doors all the way back. Both tail lights were replaced. Both bulletproof windows on the drivers side doors were custom made and replaced. The wheels are custom 20" forged 6061 aluminum and the tires are Continental MPT81. The wheels include the Hutchinson Ballistic run flat tire system.

Compared to the original design of 2008-2012, this 2015 version is 8 inches longer and 8 inches wider, thereby improving the interior space. Cosmetically, Conquest Vehicles also upgraded several new design details, including the entire front end, hood, grille, aluminum fender flares, headlights and taillights. The interior cockpit was redesigned with custom dash and other appointments, eliminating most of the Ford appearance, except for the instrument cluster and a few switches. The front and rear commercial grade air ride suspension was standard on the 2015, in addition to front power windows, and 360-degree roof mounted searchlights operated with a remote control.

There were two option packages available, the Luxury Group ($108,000) and the Security Group ($90,000), both of which this XV was originally equipped with. The Luxury Group includes electrostatic tinting (rear windows, sunroofs, partition), rear power windows, retractable ballistic glass partition, retractable flat screen TV, siren, 2-way PA system with loud speaker, hidden from VIP strobe lights, forward and backup sensors, external intercom communication system, and a Playstation3 system. The large majority of these package components are intact with exception to the Playstation 3 which was destroyed in the fire. The Security Group includes under vehicle blast protection, opaque floor armor protection, under vehicle magnetic attachment detector, Black Box, security safe, and a positive pressure defense system against gas attacks. These package options should be independently verified to confirm status of operation.

What You Need

The Knight XV was subject to vandalism according to the Carfax report and sustained considerable external fire damage that blistered the paint, melted part of the bumper and the upper roof trim. The rear interior area was burned to varying degrees due to the heat, with some of the pieces still in tact and other soft parts are a complete loss. All of the seat foam and upholstery will need to be replaced, but the frames and mounts can be cleaned, painted and reused. The swivel seat bases near the divider wall are in tact and functioning. The slide out tables have some char on the wood and could potentially be restored or replace the wood insert entirely, while the metal frames and sliding mechanisms are in great condition. Most of the overhead upholstery is compromised, but there are photos of what it looked like originally. The structures for the center consoles have some damage on the exterior, but they can be restored and reused. The rear console has a slide out tray with Playstation controller charging cradles, which are in great condition.

The pop up screen for rear facing night vision camera does not operate. The VIP strobe lights need to be wired. The back-up camera was mounted upside down, so the bumper will need to be removed in order to correct it. The switch panel for the siren does not appear to be operational and it has not been determined what is needed. The remote control for the spot lights is not making a connection. The fabric cover in the cockpit for the divider mechanicals needs to be secured.
