So he is correct in saying a wagon with a 617-95X is called a 300TD which you seemed to want to correct him on. If it had a 617-912 it's still called a 300TD. The year will determine if it has a 95x or a 912. The 1981 model year can have either so for clarity it would be good to indicate 95x or 912- even though it has little bearing on value.

'79/'80/'81 could all be non turbo in the states. In other markets the non turbo could be any year.
My correction was that the "T" has nothing to do with Turbo or non-Turbo. That was all.
