1987 Ford Crown Victoria LTD review from North America
"A good, tough, reliable car with lots of power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper ball joint failed.
Blower motor eesistor burnt out.
Other than that, only basic maintenance was required.
General comments?
I love it. It's not quite as comfortable as a 1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue I had so far as ride quality. However it rides good for a big car, has plenty of power, reasonable fuel mileage, and it's about as reliable as you can get in a car, short of a diesel.
I hope they continue to build these cars in future. 4. 6L or 5.0L doesn't matter, both are tough, reliable, smooth, & powerful.
