There were about 660 SE converts made total. There were two colors available, Monte Carlo Yellow and Platana Gray. I the split was something like 300 yellows and 360 grays, or somewhere in that neighborhood. It seems that there were more automatics made than manuals, unfortunately. There is no way(that I know of) to decode the VIN to see if it’s the SE package. That car has the correct color combo, side skirt package, and badge deletes that indicate that it is an SE. People have dressed up their converts to appear this way though, but you can usually spot the minor inconsistencies. You’re right, the SE did not receive the SPG suspension or ECU upgrades from the factory, but some dealers installed them back when the cars were new.
As far as the airbag goes, if it’s never been serviced it most likely doesn’t work anymore. If the SRS light comes on during driving and doesn’t go out or just keeps blimking you can confirm this. It’s possible that the previous owner may have pulled the bulb though that’s what I did when I had my SE). You can tell if the top has been replaced on a 14 year old car very easily: If the top looks like crap, it may be original. If it looks pretty good (as this one goes) it probably has been replaced. The top on these things is a wear item, they all have to be replaced at some point. The turbo dial should boost ¾ yellow or up to red (ideally). Mine used to boost up to ¾ yellow and I knew that I had to search for vacuum leaks (probably relating to malfunctioning cruise control) to bring it up to snuff. I ended up selling the car before I could get to that though.
