Actually, the '84 Wolfsburg Edition was a whole different animal. As opposed to all other years, where the Wolfsburg Edition had _fewer_ features than a full-blown Westy (lacking the kitchenette and/or the poptop), the '84 Wolfsburg actually offered _more_ than the Westy of its year. It had the full Westy kitchen and poptop, but added features that only became standard a year later (tachometer, cloth seats, even available A/C) - plus a very sharp two-tone brown and tan paint job that was unique to that model. This can be quite a bargain if you stumble on one, as it has most of the amenities of a late-80's Westy (albeit a smaller 1.9L engine) at a much lower resale value (dragged down, I suppose, by the fact that in every year but this one, a Wolfsburg had fewer, not more, features than a full-blown Westy). I believe it was introduced in mid-'84 to bolster sales prior to the '85 model year change. Listmember Ed Stevens used to have a nice one of these, as I recall. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc.
