No, the 900 estate is a fair bit wider at the top of the boot than the 850, the roof line on the 900 runs straight all the way back but the 850 tapers inward toward the back.

What you want is a 940 Sports Edition spoiler, they're quite similar in appearence

Was wondering, would one of these fit a 740 ?

Wonder no more; the 745 and 945 tailgates are the same.

Mmm... I do like the Volvette!!

Does look like an 850/V70 spoiler, but looks like it's been extended so it sticks out further so maybe it's has more work done to widen it too?

Who knows!

The Volvette project probably needs that spoiler to stop the car taking off given that its top speed is in excess of 190 mph. I guess for most road cars it would be more ornamental.

Factory fitted spoiler on my non-sports 940, brake light integrated into it and normal 940 window brake light blanked off:
