1982 Ford Falcon XE review from Australia and New Zealand
"An original in awesome condition"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought if from an old lady, and the first thing that was needed was the radiator.
The old lady kept it very clean, low kilometres and in the shed all the time. (only ever washed it with rain water!!!)
It has no air-conditioning, but that is okay
The muffler has a whole in it, but that comes with age, right?
General comments?
She is running well for an oldie. I haven't god the guts to thrash her because she is so neat and perfect. I don't want to hurt her yet.
All I need now is to lower her, tint her windows and run a twin system through her.
Oh, and drop a 351 Cleveland in her.
