Here's another one.

If I got it for $1,500, and put a leather kit in it, I'd probably be way ahead of where I'd end up on the other one.  But the dreaded heater core...

Yeah, an HO would make it an easy decision. :)  Since this one is owned by a detailer, its probably much better cosmetically.

Would an '88 Sport have a digital speedometer?

It's possible, but as far as I know, it'll have the buttstuffog.
Just like a TC's cluster, only w/o the boost gauge.

Well my mechanic quoted me $800 for a heater core replacement so it looks like car #2 is not such a great deal either.  I could probably do this job myself, but I really don't want to.:(

If you follow the instructions on Coolcats you should be able to do it yourself. No way would I pay someone else $800 to do it. I'd go with car #2.

OK, I found the article.  That doesn't sound too bad.  My mechanic's software was telling him he needed to pull the whole dash and console so he was calculating 7.5 - 8 hours.

Is it possible to do this without disconnecting the A/C?

$800? It shouldn't cost more than $300 to have someone do it.

For $800 I would fly there from TN  change your heater core and take you and your significant other to Red Lobster then fly back :D
