1984 Ford Crown Victoria Base review from North America
"From zero to tread less tires in 2 minutes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Booster venturis in the carburetor
Frame was rotten between the wheels on both sides
Brake pads and Brake lines when I bought this car
I busted the adjuster for the emergency brake after replacing the brake shoes
Right front fender was rotten.
General comments?
This car despite needing work when I bought it turned out to be a reliable and very quick car. After doing the brakes and booster venturis, I only had one other repair to do on it. The front fender needed replacing a 4 hour job.
Otherwise I never had a problem with this car. It was better on gas than my previous car a 1988 Ford crown Victoria. I really liked this car and want another one like it. Basically until the car was vandalized and wrote off by the insurance company My 84 crown Vic was mostly trouble free except for various attempts to repair the frame. i should say I never had any trouble squealing the tires.
