1990 Ford Crown Victoria LTD review from North America
"An absolute intense pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission gave out a few weeks after I got the car. I had it replaced.
The carburetor was leaking and had to be rebuilt as well. Other than a timing correction done at the dealer and the changing of spark plugs and oil every 1500 miles, it is a strong running car.
The interior of the car is in very decent condition although I wish I could say the same for the air condition system - it just has leaks somewhere or other and I have not bothered to get it fixed.
General comments?
The car handles great in corners for such a land boat, and loves to fishtail when I want it to.
The 351 windsor in it loves to purr and when you blast it on the highway the rpms will not stop - honest!
I have chased 4.6 Mustangs on open road and humiliated the smaller V-6 Mustangs with only inexpensive modifications.
