Anyone have any idea how many syncros were imported to North America?

I've heard 40,000 but can't substantiate that figure.

Ok,  engine  rough totals.

T3 with diesel engines 600,000
T3 with aircooled gas 350,000
T3 with 1.9 wbx    300,00
T3 with 2.1 wbx   200,00

In the US we only got some diesels for 2 model years while they made
them for 12 model years.
