1970 Ford Falcon XW review from Australia and New Zealand
"Big classic 70's beast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front doors sagging.
Speedo gauge ticks and bounces.
Broken steering column.
General comments?
Car is a good 70's cruiser, and built like a tank.
Never had a problem mechanically, starts first time every time.
The car is original with whitewall tyres and gets heaps of looks.
There's a bit of rust starting to come through the bottom of the doors, boot and rear quarter panels. Would recommend for a cruise car or a great first car.
