1985 Ford Crown Victoria review from North America
"Bullet proof"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I ripped off the power steering line when driving over a fallen down power pole.
It smelt terrible.
I blew all of the fuses and radio when I was mud bogging in 3 foot high water.
The shocks where shot it was like having no shocks you will not ride in a car with worse shocks.
General comments?
I traded it for a Nintendo 64 and it was the best use of my money I have ever done.
It was bullet proof I jumped it over entire grid roads and with some modifications filled the back seat full of water.
It wasn't the fastest car I have ever road in, but it could roast the tires like it was a Chrysler 300 with a 440.
