1987 Ford Falcon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car, the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 250 000.
Engine has a small oil leak.
General comments?
She is a great car. I love her a lot.
At present I am hotting her up, and mostly rebuilding her.
She is a tank, in car parks this stands out, but with the comfort and room acquired, it is by far worth it.
They have there look that is really tough when the car is done up right.
Performance wise I am not sure, even though I am 19yr, when I get in her I just cannot put my foot down, she just cruises so well.
The back seat is huge, great advantage :-}
