1982 Ford Crown Victoria Reviews

The variable venturi carburetor has failed.

The ignition system died.

The block heater was broken when I bought it.

It's not a bad car for a Ford. I would probably buy another one of these or even a pick up truck.

Replacing the block heater cost a fair chunk of change, but the carburetor was replaced with a regular two barrel and the ignition was changed to an MSD system.

It runs well and starts in brutally cold weather without a functioning choke. It's a very strong car for a Ford.

The alternator went out, but only cost 20 dollars to get from a junkyard.

Car floats very bad due to its 20 year old shocks.

The motor and transmission were rebuilt at 103,000 miles. It's the best running car I've owned. The motor had decent torque, but lacks top end. Could definitely benefit from a few performance mods. I put dual exhaust on it and makes me feel I'm driving a classic car because of its handling and V8 rumble. It gets a decent 20mpg on the highway. The trunk is among the largest I've seen and seats 5 with lots of room to spare.

Replaced timing chain, fuel pump and EGR valve.

Yes, this car was owned by a little old lady who only drove it on Sunday. Garage kept. Well maintained. Looks like new and drives like new.

Good handling and a nice ride. Very comfortable. 20 mpg on the highway.

Can be easily modified for more power.(carb. model).

Safe and reliable. Well made. Low purchase price. Low insurance and taxes.

I will never sell it. A true rear wheel drive classic that can be found at a fair price.
