1985 Ford Crown Victoria Ltd review from North America
"A surprising and Reliable package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After many years of Tucson sun, the heater core return hose gave out.
No big deal.
General comments?
This car is awesome. I get great performance and reliability along side good fuel economy for a V-8.
This car is surprisingly quick for it's weight. The car is "Built Ford Tough" and provides turnkey performance everyday. It has never been rebuilt and is incredibly simple to work on.
I have always loved Ford and have fallen in love with this comfortable and quick boat.
I have driven it from Tucson, Arizona to Boise, Idaho pulling a 5x8 U-haul trailer mostly up-hill loaded with weight and had not one problem keeping it at 65 m.p.h. all the way.
