    Hi Everyone,

    I just joined the forum as i have been doing alot of reading on here as i have recently became the proud owner of a 1972 4 door Ford Maverick, of which some might not think of as the coolest model of them all, i am really stoked that i found it :p It's in a pretty good shape as far as i can tell, i am not that handy with cars, but it drives pretty good, and most of the car is still orginal i believe. i have been driving almost every day for the last 3 weeks and i only noticed a few things, a leaking heater core (i think) and a bit high oil usage.

    here are some photos:

    anyways, thank you guys for making this forum happen, because i think i will need your help :p

    Hope you all have a good day!:tiphat:

    Welcome ,Im sure your car is a lot of fun . The manufacturers and remanufacturers here say burning 1 quart of oil in 500 miles is normal for a Ford. Check your spark plugs ,colors. :tiphat:
