Correct on the Merkur XR4Ti.
For Ichi, it was a strange German Ford that made it to North America under the Merkur brand (Also the Scorpio we got briefly). Ugly as sin in my opinion but they came with a Ford 2.3L turbo 4 cylinder, and independent rear suspension. They're cheap here because people generally are turned off by the weird rear quarter windows and crazy wing, plus nobody really has a clue what they are.
That car is a DeTomaso Mangusta (Italian for mongoose, 'Because they ate Cobras!' Ford power but not sure which motor. I want to say 351 but don't know enough about Ford to know whether it was a Windsor or Cleveland.)
And a bit of trivia about that Camaro. It says it's a Z/28 which means it had a Chevrolet *302* cubic in V8 in it. (Not a typo.)
