I did some looking into the question of 80s Firebird radios: My car originally came with radio option UU7: AM/FM stereo with cassette, clock, and electronic tuning. There was a more deluxe radio offered, the UU6 which added an equalizer. But if I want a radio where the actual display itself lights up orange, the only option is a radio from the 1983 "Daytona 500" edition Trans Am. If I want an 8-Track instead of a cassette, the 8-track was offered in the '82 (and not after 82) Camaro. They're rare, and only came with manual tuning.
You are correct about the actual display , it was all the other backlighting that was orange and the display itself was green except for the 83 which had the orange display . My 89 has the green display with the orange backlighting .
