1982 Ford Falcon GL Wagon review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler and head gasket replaced in 1997 ($130).
Air conditioner replaced in 1996 ($1705)
Rust cut out in 1992
Otherwise, nothing else major happened to the car.
General comments?
The car was very good and was very powerful. It handled well for a car without power steering. It had very good trim on the inside and it had been in the sun quite a lot and hardly ever faded and never cracked. It was very easy to clean. The car had excellent ride and was very comfortable. However, it is NOT good in the terms of fuel economy.
