1986 Ford Crown Victoria LX review from North America
"This car is large, safe and luxurious... It's great!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We've replaced the valve cover gaskets twice and it's still leaking oil, but now the leak isn't coming from the valve covers.
The trim between the front and rear windows is missing and I can't seem to locate a replacement.
The ignition sticks in the start position causing the starter to grind.
General comments?
On the other hand, the body is in excellent condition with NO body damage.
The interior, though needing a good steam cleaning, is in great shape.
It handles like a tuna boat, just the way a big car should, while being extremely comfortable.
I love the acceleration and security this car provides.
