John, yes I do remember your earlier post -- with great envy, too!
That's a good suggestion about drilling out the screws and removing the spoiler -- except I couldn't even manage that task on the large rivets on railcar trucks. (The guy at my hardware store finally succeeded :-). So, I'd have to buy a backup car model before trying such a small and delicate project. Of course, that would have the advantage of supplying me with a second soccer goal :-).
Doug, interesting observation about the VW Jetta Cup racing issue, and a new one to me. Sure enough, the roll bar is in the back seat and looks somewhat similiar. The front end is different, of course, but the rest including the spoiler is close. The available Greenlight model colors fit right in with prototype racing photos I found.
Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge), says the Cup model was produced from 2008 to 2011, which is too late. Perhaps Greenlight built the 1995 around the chassis and interior from a racer? Or maybe it's just a fantasy Jetta.
Thanks, guys!

UPDATE: And, yes, the Cup editions were TDIs (diesel). The model isn't.
