If this is what I think it is (a full camper with stove, etc., as were most '84 Wolfsburgs), then it's a late '84 production model that has several features that became standard equipment in '85. My recollection (and someone can correct me if I'm wrong) is that these included a tachometer, velour interior, and probably power steering (plus, I think, two-tone paint, which was unique to the '84 Wolfsburg). I don't know that it increases the "blue book value" much, but you may want to think of it as an '85 in terms of "real life" value since that's effectively what it is.

On the other hand, other Westies were sold as "Wolfsburg Editions" that simply were stripped-down versions of the full camper, lacking a sink, stove, and fridge. This configuration was later renamed the Multivan. If this is what it is, then it is certainly worth _less_ than a full camper that has all of the ammenities. But most Wolfsburgs that I've seen of that configuration were '85-86, not '84.
