1985 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"GREAT CAR!! That's why I have two of these!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have replaced the water pump twice, put 2 or 3 alternators on it, fixed the heater core twice, replaced the valve cover gaskets once and replaced two solenoid switches. Other than changing the oil every 3,000 miles like clockwork and keeping the wheels lined up, rotated and balanced, that's all I've ever done, other than tune-ups.
General comments?
Best car on the planet. I've NEVER had a wrench on the engine or transmission since I've owned it.
