They only made the Wagons in 78-79 and yes they were renamed Sunbirds, just like the 78-79 Vega Wagons were renamed Monza's. But at least the Monza wagons had the Monza coupe front clip mounted on them. The only exterior difference between a 77 Astre wagon and a 79 Sunbird wagon were the grills (besides Badges of course) But the Sunbird/Monza wagons were the only Vega Bodied cars you could get a V6 in from the factory.
So none of the RWD 75-80 Sunbird's are "real Sunbirds"?
