One of my favorites is the Dodge Rampage. I knew a guy that said he wanted to be buried in his; but in the end he didn't get his way.

The Dodge Rampage was a three-year experiment, sold from 1982-1984. A front-wheel-drive pickup based on the Chrysler L platform, it was modestly powered, reasonable on fuel, and small in stature. Overall, its capability compared favorably to the likes of the last of the El Caminos and the newcomer VW Caddy.
My understanding is that the engine was a VW inline four design with the bore spacing increased to accommodate the 2.2 liter swept volume. Looking at this picture it seems likely.

That's a first-year turbo five-speed.
