thunderbird sport questions

i was a proud owner (well, before it took me broke and i started turning wrenches:bricks1: ) of an 88 sport is that lip stick red color w/ a grey int. well i was wondering a couple of things since i have followed these cars for a decade. here are some of my stupid questions....

- did the sport have an optional electronic gauge cluster? i thought they where like the turbo coupe and where buttstuffog only?
- did the sport come in all of the standard colors? to me it seems like the lip stick red (i know that's not the colors name!) and the black are scarce colors?

i wonder these things because i'm still considering getting another 87-88 sport down the road.
So you have a V8.......isn't that cute.

Un like the other '87 and '88 models the Sports are somewhat different vehicles. The '87 got the digital dash while the '88 got buttstuffoge.. '87 had seats like the Base model but did use the full console, '88 got the Turbo Coupe seats.

As far as colors they changed what was available between all '87-'88 models. While I don't have color info for the '87s, I do know dark blue was more greenish in '87 than '88.
