Great looking car, congratulations on the find. The triple gauge pod is original equipment. From left to right, the gauges are oil temperature, oil pressure, and battery voltage. The temperature in the upper instrument cluster is coolant temperature.

Yes those three dials are standard on the GT. Looks like you've got a good one. Just noticed yours doesn't have a sunroof - and that's a good thing because no sunroof means no leaks and no rot in the base of the A pillar. This looks like a keeper. 👍

I’m currently trying to get my 87 coupe gt back on the road, not nearly as good as this one but mine has been in the family since new. Im excited to get to the stage you’re on, but its a long way off after being outside uncovered for 20 years… Even so theres a touch of rust here and there but nothing too bad, i believe they were galvanised from the factory? (Anyone correct me if i’m wrong) Good luck! Very cool in white!
