I will make a very rough guess of 1700.
Volume of a pop can is 355 cc's, the B210 claimed to have 32 cubic feet of cargo space, and cans pack with about 75% space efficiency.

Wow that's a good guess. 78% efficiency of packing makes 2100 cans. But does that include the area the seats take up? an that 32 cu ft is not all rectangular shaped.

If there is about 20 lbs of aluminum in a B210, maybe 600 cans?

But back in the day, in 1977, most beverage cans were made out of tin-plated steel. Is there any tin in a B210?

I'm not sure that quoted cargo area includes the driver space, either: you would not reasonably expect to use the car without a driver. So, it may have more internal volume than the cargo space spec would indicate.

Cans are small enough I bet you could pack them in ferociously tightly, especially since you could moosh the foam on seats with sufficently tightly packed cans. I'll bet you'd be very close to 78% packing efficiency based purely on volume considerations.
Too bad that 210 wagon I bought for the engine/trans went off to the junkyard.
