1985 ssp car what to look for to authenticate?

Check for the 6 digit DSO on the door and buck tags. The tech section here on the website has more information and other good stuff to look for:

What agency is it? The two buck tags should be mounted on the radiator support. Here's is a photo of the type of buck tag my car would have come with (not mine, but taken from another 85 CHP). Note the 6-digit DSO is listed on the 2nd buck tag, as well as some of the specific SSP options -



Depending on the agency, look for a hole in the a-pillar(s) for where the spotlight(s) was mounted.

That depends on many factors. How much is the asking price?

Matt,

Check out the shock towers and firewall to see what color they are. It could be that the car was repainted blue at some point.
