4th Gen ('81-'88): Newb

Newb
Hi Guys, Newb here, thinking about buying a 4th gen SS.
Can someone point me to a thread which tells how to identify a real SS from just a clone and also tell me what were some of the most desirable options that I should be looking for. I guess the AeroCoupes would be the most rare, but I don't think I want to pay the premium for that.
I think I'm looking for an unrestored car that has a solid body but is need of a some mechanical work and/or a new paint job.
Thanks

83 SS and 84 were only white or blue exterior.
83 SS only had bench seat w/column shift
84 bucket seats were an option , all 84 and 83 SS were non over drive. 85-88 cars had 200r4 trans with o/d.
