Fox Mercury with Four-Speed and Needs
Fans of the Ford Fox body – best known for underpinning Mustangs for way too long – may recall that it was sometimes called the Fairmont/Zephyr platform.

Yeah, okay, it wasn’t too close to an SVO when stock – the SVO had a lot of handling upgrades, four-wheel discs, etc. This is a mildly upgraded Capri, however, and shares a version of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four cylinder, sans intercooler.

Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia
We love the Lada Niva here at Oddimotive! These offer hatchback looks and functionality with Jeep off-road capability and Eastern Bloc mystique.
