I know of a dozen or so - none have digital dashes.  That's an urq exclusive -

Some Coupe' GTs came with the (terrible) digital dash......

(I saw a multi-coloured dash one day over ten years ago at the test track.  I
 wonder if they ever shipped one ...)

Don't _ever_ trust the histories.  Trust the metal.

Can't trust the metal either - many ur-qs have been updated with the 15x8s.
