1982 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"Low priced magic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced timing chain, fuel pump and EGR valve.
General comments?
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.
