Its weird how these cars are so different but eerily similar to usa and canada cars in an alternate universe kind of way. Australian falcon XBs look kind of like north american ford torinos. Our falcons were tiny cars with the mercury versions being comets. 289s were the largest engines offered but they usually ended up with 170 cube straight sixes.
Yes, since I was a teenager, I had always thought Ford Torinos looked like Falcon XB. Also the Mustang (depending on the year / model) has some similarity.

That's my main issue with people insisting on Max's having rebuilt the PS. How? Where? Why was he so obsessed with that one car when we've just seen him with the camel truck?
@@oildalejones567 I personally never made any connections between the camel truck and the car. It was basically an ashtray after the wreck. Then they bring it back just to wreck it right away, what a disappointment that was.
I like to think at the end of the Road Warrior, with the gang disbanded he uses the blown V8 and frame in pappagallo's rig as a chassis and heads back to the Landau and Interceptor wrecks and with the help of Gyro captain cobbles together something resembling his old car.
I was going to mention it, but I left it out, there was a ZG Fairlane in Humungus' crew. It was the one that got hit by molotovs as soon as they are on the road and just misses hitting a 1967 F100 (not the red one). Had it been a 62 model, I would have suggested those two were used for the body.
ONE THING that I think everybody IGNORES about the Mad Max movies is the fact of "Where are they getting all the car parts?"!!!! While I love all the Mad Max movies, the one thing everybody seems to "forget" is the idea that "civilization has crumbled" and there ARE ZERO factories anywhere building anything!! This means that the only source for car parts WOULD BE junk yards, salvaging spare parts or raw materials to build things!! IN Mad Max Two (The Road Warrior) Max helps the last remaining oil rig defend itself, which should give you a clue to had far society has declined!! And even in this movie, the idea of "mechanics building things" at the oil rig, illustrates, that certain parts have to be manufactured "in house" and that you can't simply go to your local parts store to buy replacement items!! ALSO given the time line in these movies, in a sort of "order" that is unseen and unclear, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER, that car, trucks and related parts are build and stored in mass quantities at warehouses (for new parts) and junk yards for old parts!! And certain items COULD BE made from scratch given a bunch of technically information and know how!! Like sand casting metal parts wouldn't be hard, BUT forming gaskets might take some more "skills"!! But this aside, remaking "factory style" body panels, would no longer be possible without large presses or experienced metal fabrication workers who'd know how to shape metal by hand!! But even still it might take a month to build a working door from scratch at that rate!!
I reckon you're right about the F100 chassis. However I did think at one stage it was a very early Nissan Patrol LWB. But Looking at the footage now I doubt it. I wouild love to know what some of the other vehicles were based on. Especially the "Cowskin" car. That was my favourite of all of them.
My favorite vehicle is the circus wagon that was powered with a Mac b60 Truck converted for rail way use I wonder if it's still around or did it ever get scrapped ?
It seems like years ago I heard somewhere that it started life as a military truck.. I thought it made sense because just of it's huge size of the vehicle..
I know right. My dad's LTD and my brother's XB had it and I always felt like it had a "pilot" feel to it, as though the car is built for the driver, while everyone else was just along for the ride.
What are your thoughts on Doomsday (2008)? It’s described as Mad Max 2 meets Escape From New York. It also features a ludicrous chase scene at the end. I personally think it’s a forgotten classic in the making
Must admit, this slipped by me when it came out while I was in Australia and remember seeing that cover for years. Just saw a trailer, it may be worth looking into, but it seems to be trying to tap into those films you mentioned, but feels like its missing some heart. Still, I will one day have to fully watch it.
i kinda like to build my own kind of mad maxish car but now days you can't get a ford falcon coupe so easy i think the Dodge Challenger would make a good alternative with a 6 speed manual and a 5.7 hemi, not the 6.2, its a bit too much putting offroad tires on it maybe lifting it a bit with springs i saw a few examples on the Internet in fac cry 5 there was a car like this
That is built off a Ford truck look close in the scene where it crosses the railroad tracks you can see it has twin I beam suspension it’s a two wheel drive 67 thru 79 the older ones had a cast iron dropped one piece front axel look at that scene really well at low speed .
There probably was other thing at the timeline where the interceptor that was wrecked max rebuild it with the car he was by at the end of the film then to the fury road where the interceptor looks like it been rebuild and at the end of fury road it go to beyond thunderdome

Of course it was old 4WD's, cars don't have chassis any more mate ! 😩 I remember reading they used tonnes of Toyota LandCruiser 4WD's from the Wreckers. F100's were never sold in large numbers in Australia.

I dissagree. 1. Mad Max happened in Austraila, I doubt American cars and parts would be common. 2. I knew a guy who had a '70's International with a 70's GMC 454 in it. " you can put anything on anything, if you try." Was his motto. ... Good video though...
In Mad Max 2, there were already 2 Ford f-100s used and destroyed. If all was needed was a chassis, there was two available right there, and one was a 1967 model. Uncommon? yes, non existent? we had em about here and there.
You’d be surprised just what was imported and sold in Australia, not just American but British, Japanese and French cars all had a reasonable sales market there.
This video is missing the point. In a world where the world is your junkyard, and power is king, cubic inches and forced induction are the rule. That means what a particular chassis came with is irrelevant.
@@MFPMapFilmProductions According to ChatGPT, “Mad Max, a post-apocalyptic film character, drove a modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe called the "Interceptor" in the original Mad Max film released in 1979. It became an iconic vehicle associated with the character.” My original answer was based on a documentary I saw about movie cars that pointed this out.
All I DO know is this movie is just terrible compared to all the others. A big reason (besides the story was just meh) is that after Mad Max 2, (remember, it's a post apocalyptic dystopian film) this film doesn't seem as desolate. The desperation and action from the previous film isn't there. There's almost a rebuilding of a society. And a ton of dialogue. Sorry, I just never liked this film. As far as the video you made, great job, keep it up mate! 👍
it isnt any ford truck at all its a elcamino probly around late t0s early 80s cause the ford trucks have a higher angle on the a pillar by the windshield and the angle on that car is more like a car a pillar its at a shorter angle
You need to remember these cars were built in Australia with what we had available. The cab is a 71 to 73 Ford Falcon/Fairlane, fitted to a full chassis. The chassis i'm not 100% sure what it's from. ( just added, it's Right Hand drive, brake cylinder etc )
Might be a truck radiator but that's not the whole truck used, look at the still of max sitting on top , just left of his right hand, you can see vinyl roof still attached and stitching below that basket chrome trim around door opening, definitely falcon body on top
