'84 special edition Scirocco sold only in CA?

[slash2@mindspring.com (Scott Rose)]

I went to look at a black one in the St. Louis area by when I first was
going to get a scirocco.  It was an 85 8v with a 16v bodykit from the
factory on it.  The guy said it was a wolfsburg edition.  He also said the
guys with 16v's wanted race him all the time and all he could do was get
smoked.


88 red 16v
90 yellow g60(cutting today)
