1986 Ford Crown Victoria LTD review from North America
"Looks like death, but runs like a dream!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The flywheel went bad and burned out 3 starters, the front seat's upholstery ripped badly in several places, the headliner fell shortly after purchasing, and the in-dash lights failed.
General comments?
I love the acceleration and the way this car handles. I purchased it (4th owner) from a guy who never took care of it. Once it was cleaned up and some minor repairs were made (flywheel, starter, A/C unit, dash lights, seats, headliner, body work and paint), it really began to come together. I believe it's well worth the $300 I paid for it!
I really don't like the fact that there's no storage space in the front of this car. There are no cup holders and no center console, but those can be bought as accessories I suppose.
