Wanted: 87 Trans Am

I have been long hunting (since 1998) for a car similar to one owned by my father. I am no eccentric billionaire but I am willing to travel and pay top value for something that at least somewhat resembles what he had (maybe even a finder's fee, too)

1987 Trans Am (Not GTA)
5.7 TPI Automatic
Silver/Grey Leather & Cloth
Digital Dash
T-Tops
Loaded
Need only be in decent running condition.

Again I don't need the exact car but something close would be nice. Parted ways with the original car in 1996 in Minnesota.

I've been all over Craigslist and eBay lately and even browsed through here. Please let me know if you can help.

Took me all day hunting but I found a photo from June 87 of the car that got me hooked. I'm getting less and less picky but this is the car I want to remember
