1993 Ford Escort spent the last two years sitting up. Was started from time to time. Few days ago I put a new battery and started driving it around. Recently started making a weird whining noise hard to explain I believe its coming from the transmission but not sure. I plan to continue driving it as well as have a mechanic look it over while this auction is up and will update if anything changes. Heater works. A/C worked just seemed to take a little longer than I remember to get cold. Vehicle can be used for parts or an everyday vehicle if given a little tender care. Previous owner said it did not have power steering but a mechanic once told me it does have a power steering pump that is not working. I have never bothered looking further into it since it has never been hard to steer. I have listed a reserve simply to avoid it selling for $5.00 or something to that effect. Other than that not looking for a particular price just want to get rid of it before it goes to waste. I am not experienced in mechanics or selling a vehicle so any further information needed please send me an e-mail with any info you would like to know that I have not mentioned.

Just got the car back from the mechanic shop. Mechanic said he drove it longer and further than I have and said he believes the noise is in fact coming from the transmission and he did notice rough shifting and a few slips. But couldn't tell me more since he doesn't work on transmissions just motors. He also said there was some hesitation here and there from the motor that can be easily fixed with a full tune up and some injector cleaner. The car does have power steering which he says worked fine after putting fluid in it but leaked all out of the high pressure line. I priced the line at O'Reilly's for $25. I will buy one and leave in the back seat upon the vehicle selling.

Brought it back to the shop today cause it started running horrible. Same mechanic looked at it and said its the same issues with needing a tune up injector cleaner ran through it and so on for sitting up so long. He said no damage has been done from me driving it. Only a day left in the auction so I'm just gonna park it in the mean time.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
