How many red birds?

I finally got time to fix my '87 Tbird and it came from factory black with gray interior and i was thinking about painting it fire engine red with a black stripe on the hood(not racing stripe) and a black roof/trunk. So i got to thinking i hardly ever see 87-88 birds or cougars around here and the ones i do see are white or black and i was wondering how many birds, that are still alive, are red?

Why would it matter how many red cars were out there? What if there were 1000 red ones here in Minnesota, would you paint yours blue then? If you think red would look cool, go for it!!

my friend has a red 84 v6 bird and I just saw a beautiful 87 lx the other day in great condition, owned by this guy who had it since it was 5

I want to get an 87/88 red bird to complete the collection between us, the 84 and 96
