Just wondering

Not normally, why do you wonder?

In Sweden there are some old police cars that are ordinary GL but with 234F engines.

I was working on a friends 89 744GL today. It's an 8V car. That's all you could get.

GLE is the only model that came with a 16v. if it had a gl badge on the back, someone swapped badges.

GL was the base model 740.

The 740 GLT also came with the B234F as standard, but I don't think those were sold in the U.S.
