you cant use indicated airspeed as an excuse to get out of a speeding ticket.... :)

you will also have to install a pitot/static system for some of the instruments....
 
Like this. Normal function that also are in cars. Al these function are used by the car computer and can be read out by using OBD2 tools

Ebay is a good source for old aircraft indicators. I've managed to collect all the instruments for a P-47 and a P-40 from there over the course of several years.
 
If you really want to make it look like a modern aircraft instrument panel, you would have a tv screen setup for a glass cockpit. Then all you would need is software and switches. :) There may be a chance to fi d out of date instruments at aircraft graveyards.
