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 own a 1948 Willys Jeep. But it is all worn out, it was like that when I bought it about nine years ago for $300.00 A piece of the old license plate on it that haden't rusted completly off says 1967. That is probaly the last year it was ever driven anywhere.

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.

I also own a 1914 Ford Model T car. A very basic simple car.

And safe too, with the gas tank under the seat. ;-)
Then there's the always-fun 3 pedals on the floor, throttle and spark
advance on the column, and combo in-gear/brake lever also on the floor.

I guess it qualifies as "no syncromesh" since the high / low shifting
is all done by the pedal-controlled bands in the transmission.
