I'm looking for a car. My preferences are:

- manual non-synchronized transmission
- engine brakes
- preferably all wheel drive

What options do I have?

I don't think anyone ever made a vehicle with all-wheel drive and no
synchromesh. Maybe prewar Land Rovers?

Those specs sound like a big-rig tractor. Of course you'd need a CDL.

I have a CDL, and I do drive a tractor. I just would like to operate my car
same way as I do with the truck.

Well you are SOL, there are no automobiles built to those specs. There would be no market for them. Even eliminating the engine brake spec won't help.

I realize that. I thought some older car or pickup might be what I'm
looking for. However, it would be nice to find something newer than Ford
model A.

the tranys are made different so there are no cars that will do what you
want. your truck is synchroyed too. that is why you can shift it like you
do. KB

You mean double clutching? I don't think you have to double clutch on
synchronous transmission.

This is close to what you are looking for.

"The engine, Eaton/Fuller 10-speed manual transmission, and front end come
from a ’96 International 9200 twin-axle tractor (a big rig)..."

Exactly. Too bad it's a custom car. Not sure if I can afford to buy it from
the guy.
