740/760 Long Wheelbase? 700 1990

This is a repost because I really need to know what to do here.

Ok.... Here goes,

I bought my 1990 740 Turbo from a dealer in New Hampshire last year. The car has been great so far, only a few mechanical problems. This winter I got into a small accident in which my trunklid got a tennis ball-sized dent above the VOLVO emblem. I found a great trunklid at a salvage yard. They are gonna give it to me cheap. Anyway.... I went to put the new lid on and low and behold it doesn't fit. It is way to long. About an inch longer. The years are the same, both 1990. I parked my car up next to the junker and the rear doors are longer on mine. Is this some sort of Long Wheelbase car or what. The car does have a funky ID number next to the VIN under the hood. It has the Bertone stamp too. Any help would be great cuz that ugly wrinkled trunk has to go.

Thanks,
Matt
