1985 Ford Crown Victoria LTD review from North America
"An awesome land yacht"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My grandma gave me the car.
I got a new duralast battery, but has probably gone down because I've left my lights on a few times.
I've replaced air, oil, crankcase, fuel filters.
I need to replace belts, tires, change.
Transmission fluid/filter, need
alignment, lube, radiator flush/fill.
I need to pull a few dents out a couple small rust spots, paint-job/vinyl top, new rear bumper.
General comments?
All and all this is a great car, it is smooth after it it warmed up.
It starts and goes a little rough when very cold.
It emits black smoke sometimes too.
It is very comfortable nice interior except for the dashboard.
