The picture on the right is from a 4WD off-road vehicle.
The same thing on a manual looks like this.
The one on the right is actually just a regular auto (no high/low transfer case) with an unusual control layout. Called the Hurst Lightning Rods it's supposed to imitate drag racing setups of the time with separate levers so you don't mis shift and blow your engine/gearbox.
Huh. TIL
I saw the pic of the Lightning Rods and my reaction is how could you put that as a negative?! I used to want those so bad! ☺️
Oh, I do miss going to see relatives who had old 90s Land Rovers. They felt so alien.
