Thats not completely true, I has two '86 745TD's, and an 85 745TD. I know someone who had an 84 7 series TD wagon IIRC. They are super rare it seems. I wish I still had my 86. I should never have gotten rid of it.
Sorry, what I meant to say is that the TD wagon with manual trans was only available for one year in one model -- a 1985 745 GLE TD. You could get an automatic TD wagon for three years as two models -- a 1985 as either a 740 or 760, or a 1986 as a 740 only. In 1986, the only diesel Volvo available was a 740GLE with automatic trans, and could be had as either a sedan or wagon.

Jason, yep, dark gray wagon with black leather interior and later 15" alloys off a 940 Turbo. I bought it in Maine in March 2009 and then used it that summer to drive back out west with all my stuff on board. Car made it OK but had a frozen pilot bearing, so hard to drive in town (was OK on the highway), and it overheated on every pass. The nicest black leather seats I have ever seen, though!
