Marty,

I bough brand spanky new a 1984 Wolfburg Westfalia from a dealer in
Provo Utah.  I paid about $18K back then. I put 30K in less than a
year. - NO Problemo

It was actually a 1/2 year model with the Wolfburg
ensigna on front by the door.
Here is what I recall that was different from the regular GL camper:

The most striking exterior difference was the two tone designer paint.
 It was coffee-cream with a slight tinge of pink, and dark brown.  It
also had the nice plastic wheel covers - a pain to clean.

Inside it had a beige brown plush velour interior with an additional 2
passenger seat in the middle that could be easily removed - with
strength.
There was additional carpeting - also beige brown
VW really streched themselves and place a little light
over the glove box - WHOA!
It was the regular Westfalia camping interior.
I think that it also got the power steering option which became a
standard.  It had Continental Reinforced tires that really didn't look
like they would last too long and were really sh##@ty in the snow &
hills of Utah.

I have fond memories and did numerous trips from Utah to Colorado,
Nevada and California with it.
I loved it. It was quite a switch from my previous 78 Westy camper
with real heat.  I put in a nice Alpine stereo to keep the beat on the
long desert roads.
Had to get rid of it for $12,000 when I went back to
graduate school in Boston.  I was so disgusted with the worthlesness
and how quickly it depreciated.

But now I'm back on the road with a red Syncro Westy.

Cheers,
Joel Cort
