Total Cost of importing a Ford Sierra RS Cosworth to the United States from the UK or Europe?

I've always loved the Ford Sierra and Escort Cosworths that were made over in Europe. Sadly can't even think about importing an Escort Cosworth yet due to it's age, but the Sierra RS Cosworths are now over 25 years old and eligible to be imported into the United States. My question is, easily, how much would it be to purchase an 86-88 Sierra RS Cosworth (Tinkering with the idea of the limited edition RS500 version) and then importing it either from the UK or Mainland Europe? Any info would be great to have to make my decision. And I'd love having other Americans double taking by seeing a Ford they've never heard of before.

I own a ford escort and I was flatfoot shifting at high rpm's and it broke down

I tried to start it up after it backfired, made a really weird noise and then it just gave up. For a little bit, it would try to turn over, but didn't. My distributer cap was broken and falling off, so I replaced that, but now it won't even try to turn over. I turn the key and absolutely nothing happens! What could it be and how much to fix?

Angelica- Issueswith my car wanting to give up?

My car is a 1999 Ford escort zx2 and lately I've been having one minor problem. My car starts great and everything but when I let it sit in park or even stop while o drive it starts to jolts and shake like it wants to give out. Once I start moving the shaking in and out goes away only until it comes to a stop. It has been happening for over a week now and the engine light is on and all but I have never felt something like this as if the car wants to give up. Yesterday I let it sit running just waiting to see if it gave out and the car did after about 8 minutes. I went to turn on the car and it did so perfectly but the shakes and jolts like it is trying to give up. I can't hear the shaking or jolting from the outside but I can feel and hear it in the car! Any suggestions or help before I take it to a mechanic please!

What can I do with a ford escort?

I'm trying to decide what kind of car I want to have and build as a rally able/ track able car. I currently own a Subaru wrx and it's a great car but their so common and I also want something unique. I was thinking and I thought one possibility would be a ford escort. Everyone knows the famous escort tuned by cossworth. Obviously this car is super rare and parts for it that car specifically would be not readily available or cheap. However the idea is that chassis with an awd platform with a turbo charged 4cylander. I've heard of some Mazda that has awd possibly able to swap into an escort. Anyways, thoughts on this car with that setup or any other cool setups that are unique. Don't say it wouldn't be worth it and you might as well buy 6 wrx's because that's what it would take. I don't really care I want a unique build
