1987 Ford Falcon GL series II review from Australia and New Zealand
"High performance cheapie"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I first got the car with a roadworthy, but I found out that I was cheated by the dealer. The radiator had a leak on the bottom right corner and my power steering box is leaking. This was due to the age of the car.
General comments?
I love this car, it has lots of low end power and although I have a Limited Slip Differential (LSD) I can still pull great burn outs. The acceleration is wicked.
Also the car has cheap parts and is easy to work on.
