It's a 1984-89 740 or a 1982-87 760 because of how the windscreen is mounted.
However, it has probably had a respray, or at least some modifications:
- It should have had wheel arch embellishers if a 760.
- The rear view mirror should have been black if a 1988-89 740 GLE.
Both should have had a plastic strip along the side at waist level and should have had a VOLVO badge above the side indicator.

Are there any other pics available? (interior, rear quarter, front grille, engine)

That makes it even worse...

It has the 740 GLT, GLT 16 Valve and Turbo egg crate grille which had a black frame originally.
However, all those mentioned had 'Black chrome' which this clearly hasn't.

I don't know what to believe.

Luckily the MTSBU has all the answers: YV1704762F2108219 - so a 1985, whatever it is. I guess 704 is a typo and should be 740?

740 is correct

Yes 740 instead of 704.

Thereafter:
- 76 = Engine D 24 T = Volkswagen sourced Diesel engine with Turbo => 740 Turbodiesel.
- 2 = M 46 gearbox = 4 speed manual with additional Laycock de Normanville overdrive.
- F = 1985.
- 2 = Made in Belgium.
- 108219 = Serial number

Hence a 1985 Volvo 740 Turbdiesel [744] made in Belgium.

704 is not a typo, it's the standard VIN for 1982-1985 764 and 744.
