1983 Ford Crown Victoria Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really enjoy the comfort and reliability of the 1983 Ford Crown Victoria. Many appreciate its spaciousness and the fun factor of driving it, especially with powerful engines like the 5.0. However, some owners expressed frustration with the older fuel injection system, reliability issues, and the high costs of repairs as parts fail over time."
The Crown Victoria I drove was actually a 1989 LTD. It had a 5.0 Litre V8 (same as the early 90's Mustangs). Despite the car's huge size and weight, it has excellent acceleration. In addition, the gas pedal was not too sensitive; therefore, this is a good car for learning how to drive. The build quality is excellent on this car. It could rip through Honda's like they were tin foil. Its as simple as that. This car is very cost effective. As with all cars, it is great on gas if you don't have a lead foot. In addition, parts are easily found. Even though I drove this car for only a few minutes, my hands had to be pryed from the steering wheel. If you like to go on road trips, this is the car to have. The reason is because the seats are very comfortable. Go buy yourself one:)
January 29, 2010Was one of the more reliable cars i have ever driven. Should have never sold it. Had big plans to deck it out with new wheels, a new CD player, tinted windows, and maybe even a new paintjob. Started better than any car should in the winter. Great quality car.

November 30, 2012it was also a station wagon, and it was sick, i only got rid of it because gas was so bad and i didnt want to deal with the small thing taht were breaking, but the 5.0 was a lot of fun the only problem was the fact that it was old, so original parts were failing and it was getting expensive to fix
February 18, 2008Nice ride, comfortable, but the 302 with the tbi fuel injection is worthless, very unreliable.. if you get one, try to get a carbuerated model.
December 5, 2007when your regular car nickel and dimes you to death, an $ 800 beast like this is what the doctor ordered!
March 30, 2008I absolutely love the car... but she's old and bit tired, i wish it had the Windsor in it and a better exhaust... but all in all i love it and an extremely fun car to drive. really wish it was the police version with the 350 Windsor in it though.
