1986 Mercury Colony Park review from North America
"A Bullet-proof tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater hose blew.
Valve cover gaskets leak.
Antifreeze disappears.
Lift-gate does not shut properly.
Headliner is falling down.
Mysterious electrical idling problems.
General comments?
This is a great car, the original owner apparently ordered it with police type options.
It sticks to the road like glue, has no problem going 130 mph.
Great beater, nothing can kill it.
Preforms great off road.
