This 1972 Ford Maverick was spotted by Barn Finds reader Rocco B and the car presents as a nicely preserved survivor with some mild cosmetic and mechanical faults. Wearing excellent colors with nice chrome and OEM hubcaps, the Maverick is equipped with the six-cylinder mill paired to an automatic transmission. Find it in California for $5K.The Maverick still wears old-school California blue plates and looks straight and true going down the sides. Factory mudflaps hang off the backs of the fenders and the chrome trim strips look just as good back here as they do in the front. The rear bumper hugs the body panel tightly with no signs of parking lot bumper cars. All glass is intact, as well.The interior is perhaps the biggest offender as it relates to cosmetics, with plenty of evidence of sun-related damage. The seats all need work, as does the headliner. The seller also notes the Maverick sometimes has trouble starting and that he’s been advised to check for oil leakage in the pistons, but doesn’t elaborate as to why he received that recommendation.The Maverick is a car you can modify myriad ways, which is why I’ve made a point of inspecting this on my friend’s property in Georgia and . The car packs plenty of tweaks that would make it a fun and cheap hot rod but the above example on eBay should be preserved as the survivor it is.
