Finally I can answer this.  When I was looking through the paper work 
after buying my 85 a few months ago I came across the original window 
sticker.  Here's the details for my 85 Wolfsburg:

MSRP                                                                 10,980.00
BLACK PAINT                                                       N/C
UNIQUE CLOTH SPORT SEATS                     N/C
CRUISE CONTROL WITH RESUME FEATURE     200.00
SUNROOF - MANUAL, TILT + SLIDE            450.00

A/C, PWR STG, REAR WIPER/WASHER, DIGITAL AM/FM CASSETTE, & SPECIAL 
5.5Jx13 ALLOY WHEELS  all no charge (part of Wolfsburg package)

FACTORY INSTALLED OPTIONS AND ACC    650.00
DESTINATION CHG                                                 320.00

TOTAL                                                               $11,950.00     

I rtyped that verbatim from the right side of the window sticker.  I 
thought it was really nice that VW didn't charge extra for the paint 
:)   

Now for the specific Wolfsburg items, as I promised to post:
WOLFSBURG LIMITED EDITION FEATURING THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
-A/C
-PWR STG
-REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
-DIGITAL AM/FM STEREO CASSETTE RADIO WITH ELECTRONIC TUNING
-CASSETTE STORAGE TRAY  (this is under the radio)
-SPECIAL 5.5Jx13 ALLOY WHEELS
-UNIQUE CLOTH SPORT SEATS WITH LEATHERETTE BOLSTERS
-FOLDING REAR BENCH SEAT
-COLOR COORDINATED BUMPERS AND MIRROR HOUSINGS

Again this was typed verbatim, except for my note on the tape tray.

Finally, here's the standard features:

-1.8 LITER FUEL INJECTED ENGINE
-5-SPEED CLOSE RATIO TRANSMISSION
-FULLY INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION WITH FRONT AND REAR 
STABILIZER BARS
-POWER VENTILATED DISC/DRUM BRAKES
-STEEL BELTED RADIAL TIRES
-FULL INSTRUMENTATION INCLUDING TACHOMETER, COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
GAUGE AND DIGITAL CLOCK
-TINTED GLASS
-LARGE REAR DECK SPOILER
-ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER
-ELECTRIC REMOTE CONTROL OUTSIDE MIRRORS (HEATABLE)
-MULTI-STEP RUST PROTECTION

Also, the EPA mileage ratings:

CITY    24
HIGHWAY  29

That's all folks!  Not too shabby for $350, wouldn't you say?  Now 
I've got to rest my fingers:)
