I believe the color your talking about is, corect me if im wrong,  "Alpine 
White". (to me, the word Alpine implies a green color... )
Yes, ive seem them before. If not taken care of, they look pretty bad. Its 
one of those colors that has to be well taken care of to look its best. I do 
like the color very much! 
It almost got everything to be a Wolfburg. I wonder if the origional owner 
might have simply ordered everything but the damn badge?? Ive heard of this 
happening where the customer, unknowingly, orders almost everything that 
would come in so-called "upgrage package" and pays a whole lot more for it, 
as opposed as to just ordering a Wolfie. This may be the case?? Maybe not. 
Still, its interesting. 

Was this 84 for sale or was it a friends car? Maybe the owner knows??
