very hard to tell if it's original...

No dealer can give VIN verification on which were SPGs and which weren't. And '85s had standard suspension so you can't tell that way. The only way to tell is to look closely for details and changed parts. For instance, you could pull off one of the SPG door panels and look for marks from originally installed vinyl trim strips. That would show you quickly it's a faker.
As per previous posts, it should be black paint, tan leather, power everything w/cruise, foglights mounted under the bumper, and either black (early model year) or grey (late model year) SPG panels.
It should also be debadged except "Saab" and "Turbo" on the rear, and it will have no side blinker lights.
