I bought this car in Nov. 1998. It was a Flame Red Formula 350. I bought this will the sole purpose of building a Knight Rider conversion. I had it about a year and half then purchased a front nose and scanner and the correct base model spoiler for it. I started slowly accquiring parts that I need to complete the conversion. I picked up PMD seats, an 84 center console and a gullwing steering wheel. I had that set up going for about 2 1/2 years before I finally got a loan for the completed dashboard. I purchased it athttp://www.adiautotech.com Advanced Designs In Automotive Technology. Don is a genius when it comes to this. Everything you see in that dash was built by hand. Drilling circuit boards, soldering every connection by hand, prep work with the fiberglass and so on. I had it like this for nearly 3 years. But unfortunately, bills started to pile up. I bought my 2000 TA in Feb 2005, and sold this car in May 2006. Getting married and the upcoming buying of a house was paramount. This was the only solution I had to get rid of my consumer credit card debt and have a down payment for a house next year. I miss it, but there will be other toys. Like my 2000. w00t!!

You owned a Knight Rider car... that's so geeky it's cool!

Neat conversion, too bad you had to sell it, but I agree a house is worth it!
