Coolant Light Blinking

I hope you haven't seen 210 on the coolant temp gauge.
Normally the needle never quite touches the Zero on the "180" mark on the gauge, Just a bit over middle needle position.

If it goes past the Zero then something isn't quite right and if it goes to the next marker bar you have a problem that needs resolving quickly to avoid a potentially serious disaster.

Blinking lights on the gauge cluster also indicates a serious issue needing immediate attention.

No, the gauge sits rock solid around the "0" on the "180" mark...I'm assuming the engine compartment has never heated to the point that the fan has activated, because I've never heard it run...This is a weekend car that doesn't see an overabundance of stress, and I've yet to really put it through its paces since I bought it...
