1981 Ford Falcon Reviews - Page 2 of 2

None as yet.

The car is very good for it's age.

It was one of the best sedans of it's age.

The first car in Australia to have plastic bumpers and fuel tank.

It has not eaten the fuel like I thought, it is very good with fuel compared to a lot of other cars out there today.

It has the go for when you need it.

But I don't like the front seats, they do not have the comfort I like.

The car has a lot of space, unlike other cars of that year.

It is very reliable.

The car has:

91kw with 305 nm of torque.

Apart from my gearbox getting stuck into gear, which I fixed by replacing with new gearbox.

The car has truckloads of performance.

At standard ride height it gets a bit of body roll and under steer. Ever still I lowered it 2 inches all round it has improved the handling characteristics greatly.

Oil leak.

Rust around wheel arches.

Ball joint.

Very comfortable Ute.

Goes well.

Very handy and can throw anything on the back.

Looks good, have lowered it, resprayed it cobalt blue pearl, 16" mags and slowly working on the engine. Have a 351 sitting in a garage, but might keep that for something else.

Feel safer driving a vehicle that has weight behind it.

Cross-threaded spark-plugs.

Had to replace the clutch.

Had to replace the carburettor (the power bypass valve went on me).

This Falcon wagon is really good value for money. The rear suspension setup lets you down going through bumpy corners, but for one of the first examples of an Alloy Crossflow six, this Falcon really shines.
