Out of my registration year, there were less than 100 when i checked, however with many "barn finds" and other sources providing cars that have been hidden for several years, that figure might be higher now or just lower as expected due to people percieving them to be at the end of their life due to age, mileage or perhaps accident, major mechanical problems etc.
From what you say, it seems the saloon vaariants sold better in Spain than the estates?

How did you check how many there were in circulation?
Answering your question. Yes, for sure. The 850 wagon is fairly common though. But most of them are completely trashed. Curiously, a neighboor of mine has a 850T5R in the same exact color of mine. Whenever I can I park next to it because they look great together.
The 760 seems to be, out of the four models, the most rare one. I've seen a few saloons but not many, and never saw a 760 wagon neither on the road or for sale. The 960 saloon would be the most common by far. I tried several before finding the 940 estate. Then there are also several 940 saloons for sale at all times, for ridiculous prices. But they are less common than both 960 and 740 saloons.
Here you can find a 960 saloon for 1.5k, but if you want a 740/760/940 it's like 4k asking price minimum for a NA. If you are talking wagon, there are non for sale. Sure, there are several restored ones "selling" for 10k+€... but none really on the market.
The situation in Portugal seems fairly similar, with the wagon being basically non-existant. I've seen a few 740 for sale, maybe 2, both with steering wheel on the right side and recently registered in Portugal.
