1984 Ford Falcon S-pack review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor electrical problems.
Had to fit new exhaust down pipe at the off the engine header. Previous owner dodged up an older model to fit. It sounded like a tractor.
Put wrong fuel in by mistake and cooked a piston.
General comments?
Although basic and a tad uncomfortable. The car was pretty reliable.
I was fairly impressed by the fact it was EFI, that is the only reason I bought it.
