Go to you bookshelf in your living room and grab your Mad Max DVD (if you don't already have it on DVD, you should be ashamed). Pop it in. The car driven by "The Night Rider" in the opening scene is a Holden....

The blue and yellow "Pursuit" and "Interceptor" cars are Ford Falcon sedans.

Max's black on black "Interceptor" is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB Coupe....Ford America stopped making the Falcon in the late 60s I think, but Ford Australia kept the line going and did an independent redesign in the early 70s that yielded the XA, XB, and XC series Falcons, both sedans and coupes.

I have a 1976 XC Coupe on the way. It is currently white and in need of some moderate restoration work. After which I will be giving it a Mad Max inspired look...

I can't freakin wait....

What the hell is THAT?!?

Some type of Holden?

Were those Mad Max cars called "Interceptors" or something?

Crikey, Mate! Good on ya!

Bart, if you really have an Aussie Falcon coming you realize I'll be paying wherever you keep it a late-night visit with a trailer and an extraction team.

So, speaking of Mad Max, why do you get an 80 gallon short LP tank and fit it in the rear door half in/half out. That's what Max would do, if he had a VX.

Hey Joe, indeed I do. I am in the final stages of getting it arranged currently.

And you do realize that like Max's Falcon, mine will also be rigged with explosives....so if you plan on stealing it, I can only say, "Last of the V8 Interceptors, would be a shame to...blow it up..."



And yes, I am actually toying with the idea of equipping mine with two auxillary gas tanks like the Falcon in The Road Warrior. I'm not sure how to make them functional, or if it would be illegal if they were, but I am thinking about it. While I love the orginal shiney Interceptor from Mad Max, the Mad Max II version is more to my liking:

Talk about Jerry cans...
