Buy it, and convert it back. Throw all that Knight Rider @#*% in the dumpster. I don't have anything against making replicas but you could turn a base bird into KITT for the same amount of money.

Working on a 350, and possibly T56 swap, also upgrading the suspension and maybe brakes. Otherwise will be bone stock.

Maybe I could sell my base model for big $$. To all the Knight Rider wannabe's. Pysch-aint gonna happen. Personally, I didnt care for the Knight Rider show, I got much more entertainment out of the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies. Several guys when I was in HS had those "bandit" cars-one kid was a son of a dr-bought him the TA when he was 16. He totaled it within a few months-was lucky he didnt kill himself.

I didn't mean a nice base bird, I meant a car that was going to need some work anyway.e

Thats the same car I purchased the rear Dayton seats from. I drove up and picked them up.
He also sold the front seats on ebay.
Most of the daytona parts are gone, sold them on ebay so he could purchase the front bumper.
What a wast and he will never get his money back.

Well, there's one more Daytona in the toilet...
KITT? Are you reading this? This is exacly the mistake I've been trying to prevent you from making with your wicked clean Daytona.
DON'T DO IT!!!
