red Trans Am in Chitown area needed for display

A friend of mine is looking for a dark red Trans Am similar to the one that Dwight Shrute drives in the tv show The Office. Here are a few pictures for reference:





I need something that is as close to what is pictured as possible, but it doesn't necessarily have to be exact. You will be reimbursed for the display. Basically the details that I have is that Dwight will be at their display so they're wanting something like his car there also. They're doing the show on a Monday so the car will need to be dropped off on Sunday night or really early Monday, I don't remember the exact date but if you have what we're looking for pm me some pictures and I can put you in contact with them. The car doesn't necessarily need to be in perfect condition but I don't want a real junker either.

Yeah no kidding, I wish they would accept a white car since I'd just take my TTA then. They're willing to pay someone for their troubles, and I imagine it will probably be a pretty decent amount since their furniture is very very expensive.

yeah I doubt it will need the hood bird, they're just looking for something that is as close as possible.

firebird896 - haha I don't think they'll pay for a paint job. Also, no the car won't be driven but as they explained to me a key will need to be left with the car in case something happens where the car needs to be moved. She told me that the key is just in case of emergency.
