I have a similar problem with my '81 240 wagon. It only happens when the front window or windows are open. I have a couple of rust spots at the bottom of the rear quarter panels, and may have a slight leak just aft of the muffler in front of the axle. I don't know if the fumes are coming in through the rust holes or are being sucked in past the tailgate gasket.

I haven't driven it enough to experience poisoning symptoms, just enough to smell the fumes and be annoyed by them. If all the windows are open I don't notice the smell.

Having the windows closed also eliminates the problem, since it has positive ventilation.

I have this exact same problem on my '74 Jeep Wagoneer with the windows down. Eliminating exhaust leaks and sealing the body with new tailgate rubber and plastic filler for the rust holes should eliminate the problem. Good luck with it!
