It was "the last of the V8 Interceptors"

Loved how he had a supercharger which you could turn on and off!

they were never brought to the uk so they are rare as over here.. you dont see many in oz either.
you can get the full kit to make an interceptor though, theres a site for all the replicas aswell.

You can get a supercharger on a Toyota Previa S/C which is activated by an electric clutch thing, so can effectively be turned on and off (ish) so you could always fit one of them!

Mad Max
This car was originally customised by a young man called Murray Smith. A film company executive spotted it on his driveway and thought it would make an ideal vehicle for a new film being produced: "Mad Max". The car was purchased and Murray was given a job on the film as mechanic. With further modifications the car was used in the original film and in its sequel.

I didnt know that, cool

I have wanted the Max Falcon XB coupe since i was about 8-9 and first watched the film. Sad thing is a still want one now, shame it will never happen.

As for the car above that was driven by one of the mob boys in the second film, bloke wore a face mask IIRC.

There are indeed a few in the UK.

My brother had a matt black XB coupe for years. Cream leather, big block v8, stupidly loud side pipes, etc

Sold it to someone in Switzerland.

Default My Coupe!

Just bought this on Sunday, its a 1972 (tax exempt!) XA Ford Fairmont, with a 5.8 litre Cleveland, C4 auto, 9 inch diff and a whole load of rust....
I'm going to get rid of that awful bonnet, and put a later XB model front end on. Can't wait!
