Knight Rider project car wanted

I am currently searching for a car project that will have most of the necessary parts on it but I can buy one that has the main features I need.
Features that I want in the project car:
-Tan based interior
-PMD seats
-Turbocast wheels
-Hood with dome
-T-tops
-black exterior

Thanks, I would prefer to buy on the west coast as that's where I live, but I can go farther out depending on how many of the parts are there.

I am looking for a project as I already have the front bumper for it already.

Thank, but I am going the project route which will allow me to add a LS into the mix.

Yup, Project On $ale !!!
Will will probably have the stock 305, and all the parts you need, ready to switch in your LS motor.

Re: Knight Rider project car wanted

Well, I cant do a couple weeks as I'm trying to get everything done with the car for the exterior by September, but I might keep your car in mind if things don't go well during this week.

Recaro seats are in my garage they need to be redone. It currently has seats out of a 2001 camaro. The sail panel emblems are missing, my guess is one of the previous owners lost/misplaced it when they repainted.
