Then you get sucked into a blower. If you've never seen this on a cinema screen, I HIGHLY recommend it. George Miller did not make films for Netflix and such. He's old skool. I don't care how big your TV is, it is a TOTALLY different experience on a cinema screen. Occasionally one will show retro films.
Close. My life fades the vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos ruined dreams (of) this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the Road Warrior the man we called Max. To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time when the world was powered by the black fuel and the deserts sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled the cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay ordinary men were battered and smashed. Men like Max the warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything and became a shell of a man a burnt out, desolate man a man haunted by the demons of his past. A man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here in this blighted place that he learned to live again.
I like how he's honest. Priceless until someone offers an insane number. At some point you're not only making a profit but also have enough to make another.
As an Aussie Mad Max fan living 10kms away where the filmed most of the orig, I’ve seen a couple of Interceptors around. When I clicked on the thumbnail I totally expected an Aussie accent and thought “alright, you don’t see many but looks clean and well done”. Then, it’s “fark me a yank” big RESPECT. My envy is a high as my respect! It’s not easy to get some base parts of Aussie fords these days and he got em shipped over. Thumbs up mate. Would’ve loved a ride. (Or to get out a Holden HQ and play the role of Nightrider like we used to. Screaming “I am the Nightrider. I’m a fuel injected suicide machine. I am a rocker.......”. Damn, I’m gonna watch it again tonight. Thanks dude. Always revvs me up!
One of the things about Michigan (the state this owner and I are from) is we don’t have emissions or vehicle inspections. We get away with murder when it comes to car performance and modifications. Plenty of 800-1000hp (not a typo) vehicles cruising the public roads here
Actually someone else did back in the 90's when it wasn't as expensive. He was just letting it fall apart, and I bought it from him, and had the guys at Mad Max Cars in Washington build the car.

Dale, that's one nice car. Good job. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have mattered if you made it 100% movie accurate or not, some poor jealous cry baby would have made a negative comment about it anyway. Once again, really nice car, great work.
Dale Walter You replicated a movie prop not a car. Think Max Would have liked a fake blower? How much HP did they claim in the movie? 600? Douche,,...-
When making Fury Road the film had to purchase some 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT's to be Max's car. It's an incredibly difficult car to find in Australia because Americans have purchased every rust heap thats offered up for sale. The XB's they found and multiple were needed were in really poor condition. Honestly in my books the most valuable Mad Max Car is "Razor Cola" also known as "Caltrop #6" in production documents is a heavily modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe most notably driven by Slit. It's the most valuable because there is only 1. No duplicates were made as with many of the other Fury Road vehicles.
I can't believe there are people who watched that movie. I certainly wouldn't. Gibson must not have owned the rights, because I can't imagine him allowing it.
@@davidscott820 Ah man, that’s terrible. Hopefully he managed to get it repaired. Thanks for letting me know. We Americans rarely hear about stuff going on in Oz.

Congratulations on achieving a dream! Enjoyed watching Mad Max and The Road Warrior back to back at American Cinematic Egyptian theatre a few years ago. Seeing the car on the screen was epic! Once again congratulations!
Wow, just wow. That is a thing of beauty, I see lots of people bugging about power/torque etc in the comments, no, just no. It's about the feel/atmosphere of the thing + this guy got it bang on the nail. Well done sir, could we have some more vids showing the build process etc ? Once again, plaudits + massive respect. A truly lovely job.
Awesome car. I think the switchable fake blower for this car is cooler than a functional one. Had to wait to the end of the video to understand why it didn't have the fuel tanks in the back though.
For years I say when someone ask what you would do if you win the lottery. Well make sure wife and kids are fine. And then ship over a Interceptor ! Put it in the yard, hire someone who cleans it up every month. And just stare with a beer thinking this is so cool ! And if anyone want to touch it I say “ touch those tanks and booooom”. Love to dream 👌
+sapphirestar316 No, no drive in theaters left around here. I did drive it to the movie the first night of FR, and NO ONE recognized it! Walked right past. I did take it to a showing of Mad Max at a little local theatre. I have pics with it in front if the marquee that says "Mad Max" on it.
He has to be one of the biggest Mad Max super fans. I hope he still owns this car and takes it out on road so others can enjoy catching a glimpse. Just awesome.
I know how he did it, !. ." You know , a piece from here, a piece from there " , . . ."- in disbelief- " So easy ? " C'mon Maxie, you've seen it , heard it, and you're still asking question's ? Hats off to this man, he spent the long green and got exacatly what he dreamed of . Bravo !
Beautiful! The show-blower with pto switch is a great idea and that sweet.. sweet bored out 351C cranks plenty at 450 horses, all by itself! Just a Gorgeous tribute! The Dark One would be proud, as well.. All the best to you, Sir!
I rolled my eyes at first thinking oh another replica, but realised this is what this man wanted so much and I was really impressed how it was restored from a wreck to this spectacular result. I commend you sir, from Oz.
Ever been pulled over by 'The Bronze' mate? Bloody great car, reminds me of my kid days back in Perth. Stunned that you found a Aussie Falcon in the States.
Badass brother! When I first saw the movie, I watched it on VHS, it was around 1985, and I was 11 years old at the time, I said that very same thing, that someday I will own THAT car! How someone could not love the Interceptor is beyond me! That car in my opinion, is the epitomy of hot rods! You really did an amazing job on yours, and I'm with you on that car being priceless! I'd be the same way, if someone would offer me 25 million, I'd never sell that car! I love it brother! Take good care of her!
It's not the General Lee.. it's not K.I.T. car.. it's not Smokey & the Bandit's car.. It IS the coolest car that's ever been featured in any movie or T.V. show.. it's Mad Max's Pursuit Innerceptor!
Props to the guy for achieving his dream, right down to the working switchable blower! I do love his observation that its fuel economy would make it suck post any real apocalypse :p
@@Stephen-gu2gd I get dissappointed when they put real blowers on these movie replicas. Ive seen a few where they put a working blower and doesnt feel like the real thing with the belt always turning
@@user-pl5ds8iz6q in movies they take "shortcuts" and make things look good but in reality they are fake. If you wanna introduce the interceptor to the real world it should be fullly functional. Max wouldnt have anything fake on his car. A fake blower would not impress anyone in the dystopian world he was living in.
Never noticed how much it resembles a Grand Torino. My sister had one my best friends brother had one. My best friend's brother would let us drive around in it, without him. We were up to no good lol.
@@ldwalter12Bro i'm so jealous of you. I live in a third world country and the black Interceptor v8 has always been a dream of mine to own. Glad to see you have reached that dream through your efforts. Just wish someday i might be able to drive such a beast, only hearing the roar of the engine, imagining i'm out in the wasteland... Just driving forever.
Very interesting; there's a guy in Texas that supposedly owns one of THE original cars from the series. His has the giant fuel tanks in the back, the fake blower and everything. He would bring it to the O'reily's I worked at sometimes when he was hunting for parts
I know that guy and the car RoadWarrior Version. (lewisville) You know the fuel tanks are cardboard and his was made for promotions after the movie came out, not for use in filming.
This is such a cool car!!!! Thanks Barcroft Cars for showcasing this mean ride. sure with a price like this someone could go out and buy an exotic, but so what! you'd just have the same car as everyone else. This is a Unique ride that gets people talking and the owner has fulfilled HIS dream of having a car like this. how many of us can say they own something so unique as this? They should have had this in the latest Mad Max movie.I would have loved to see the creation of this machine from start to finish and all the folks behind it. This video is about a man fulfilling his dream, but so many people just don't get it. I subbed your channel.. Keep up the amazing car stories, Barcroft Cars, I'm a true Fan. Peace!
TheGoldenLlama I would love to have this car! minus the Shotgun! don't want to ride around with that thing in the car and get pulled over...I value my life too much. lol Movie Cars will always be better than ANY stock factory car... that has no personal touch to it. imagine pulling up in this car at a car show!
TheGoldenLlama imagine going ANYWHERE with this car!!!! I would love to go to a car show featuring all the TV and Movie cars like the Batmobile, Green hornet car, the monsters hotrod, night rider, etc. This guy took a junk car that should have been crushed and scraped and turned it into something AWESOME!!! Got to give him extra credit for that. there are so many cool aspects of this video to admire. would love to just ride in this car on a Sunday afternoon cruising' on the highway.
zrxgrim We build them regularly for clients all over the world, so we get lots of practice, and the owners do seem to think they are perfect.... but we never stop improving!
MadMaxCars Farken beaut build, mate. I used to have an XA two door Falcon 351ci FMX auto box and 9 inch arse end when I was 19. It used to go like shit off a chrome shovel. I'd easily go through a set of 16 inch mickey thomsons in one burnout... good times.
+MadMaxCars i hope to one day buy one from you guys because I love mad max but since I'm in college i don't really have any money but hopefully my future job will allow me to get enough money to buy from you guys
HEY! Australian Mad Max fan here. Sweet ride. I dig that you kept the old Falcon as RH drive. That's how we do it in OZ. And it looks more legit. Enjoy the vehicle. "...See you on the road, Skag! ..."
Instead of having a fake supercharger so that it could stay stationary 99.999% of the time, he should've installed a real one that spins all the time. Then it would actually be able to rip a half-decent burnout. Who cares about 100% movie accuracy? Mad max goes hard, so have your car in beast mode permanently.
01DOGG01 A Ford Cleveland engine can make good power for the car without a blower. All the blower does is shorten engine life and cost you with fuel economy. If you are going to be cruising around town and never using the full performance of the car like drag racing, a supercharger is nothing more than an expensive add-on that costs you money.
oh come on... what kind of stupidity is that? Are you saying 351 Clevelands cannot be supercharged??? People have done replicas of the interceptor with real blowers, and there are literally hundreds of them in drag racing using superchargers. If the engine is built for supercharging ( lower compression mainly) then pretty well any engine can be supercharged...
driving here in australia with left hand shift is easy ,,, but the only thing left to do for your car is to get Mel Gibson to autograph it and may be then its priceless lol
All of us having different dreams and goals - I always admire those individuals that realize their dreams. It's not up to anyone to judge another's goals or dreams. Keep rocking my friend! Love it!
Someday, I shall have my own Madmax Interceptor just like this one from the 1st movie, imo This one was the best Version. All New & Decked out. And I'll drive it to car shows to share it with everyone else so they too can enjoy it's Beauty and Awesomeness. 😎👍
+PhenomProductions23 in all honesty it does look awesome but I think, in reality, it would look better a little beaten up..... Kind of like when you take the hottest girl in school to the prom, get drunk, make out like maniacs, and then take her home the next day with her dress on backwards, her panties in her purse, and her mascara running down her face lol.....
+michael C With anything you create you choose a point in time. This car is the one Goose and Barry show Max in the MFP garage, not later more weathered versions. Keeping it like this is a pain. Maybe I should go for a later version...
I know what he means about the fuel consumption. Used to drive a 351 worked XC falcon ute about 20 years ago. I swear the fuel guage used to move when you slammed the pedal. Of course the rear tyres would also smoke at that point. A very expensive car to keep running.
5:07 now we know the reason for Max is always looking for gas and not food; btw the car is AWESOME IN ALL LEVELS man congratulations e regards from Brasil!
Bravo Walter!!! You make this legend of the Movie and Car live on for the future generations! All the best form Europe! I hate boring cars and movies here. but that's life! :D
The original did not have a working blower. None of the originals did. I know the secret. I have had the pleasure of having intimate access with my camera to the last v8 that was eventually used in post production media for the Road Warrior. It was built by the same people that built the ones used in filming. Its blower operated from the button and all the details were there. Little known secret, the extra tanks were cardboard. As far as the blower the owner asked that I not photograph how it works but in one of the shots I was able to see the mechanics of it. I am keeping that secret.
I think what's even more impressive than the car is that he's maintained a friendship with that one guy he saw the movie with for over 30 years.
True! But the friendship ended once he found out he had the car.
Actually yes lol
The twist to the story was his friend for 30 years came around to his house and raped the car , very sad but true story

To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time
when the world was powered by the black fuel
and the deserts sprouted great cities of pipe and steel.
Gone now swept away.
For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war
and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all.
Without fuel they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw.
The thundering machines sputtered and stopped.
Their leaders talked and talked and talked
but nothing could stem the avalanche.
Their world crumbled the cities exploded.
A whirlwind of looting
a firestorm of fear.
Men began to feed on men.
On the roads it was a white-line nightmare.
Only those mobile enough to scavenge
brutal enough to pillage would survive.
The gangs took over the highways
ready to wage war for a tank of juice.
And in this maelstrom of decay
ordinary men were battered and smashed.
Men like Max
the warrior Max.
In the roar of an engine, he lost everything
and became a shell of a man
a burnt out, desolate man
a man haunted by the demons of his past.
A man who wandered out into the wasteland.
And it was here in this blighted place
that he learned to live again.
he lives now, only in my memories...

Dale, that's one nice car. Good job. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have mattered if you made it 100% movie accurate or not, some poor jealous cry baby would have made a negative comment about it anyway. Once again, really nice car, great work.
Dale Walter The car is awesome. But I could NEVER have a fake blower on a car. Get a real blower.
Dale Walter You replicated a movie prop not a car. Think Max Would have liked a fake blower? How much HP did they claim in the movie? 600? Douche,,...-
Always fancied one of the Interceptors.
When making Fury Road the film had to purchase some 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT's to be Max's car. It's an incredibly difficult car to find in Australia because Americans have purchased every rust heap thats offered up for sale. The XB's they found and multiple were needed were in really poor condition. Honestly in my books the most valuable Mad Max Car is "Razor Cola" also known as "Caltrop #6" in production documents is a heavily modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe most notably driven by Slit. It's the most valuable because there is only 1. No duplicates were made as with many of the other Fury Road vehicles.
I can't believe there are people who watched that movie. I certainly wouldn't. Gibson must not have owned the rights, because I can't imagine him allowing it.
@@scottwoods3510if you didn't watch it, you have no room to judge.
They should’ve hired Eric Bana instead of Tom Hardy. Not only is he Australian, but he has his own Falcon XB.
He crashed it in the Targa Rally..dont know if he fixed it.@@AFTER_MIDNITE
@@davidscott820
Ah man, that’s terrible. Hopefully he managed to get it repaired. Thanks for letting me know. We Americans rarely hear about stuff going on in Oz.
This is so great. Well done man. Australians can certainly appreciate this :)
Yep, I'm Aussie and can definitely appreciate this

Wish we got more of the Interceptor in Fury Road...all-time classic movie car. This guy is living the dream!
Yeah i was pissed when they destroyed the pursuit special in fury road.
Congratulations on achieving a dream! Enjoyed watching Mad Max and The Road Warrior back to back at American Cinematic Egyptian theatre a few years ago. Seeing the car on the screen was epic! Once again congratulations!
Good for him, he had a dream and he made it real!
Yeah, with his pocket book and nothing else.
Wow, just wow. That is a thing of beauty, I see lots of people bugging about power/torque etc in the comments, no, just no. It's about the feel/atmosphere of the thing + this guy got it bang on the nail. Well done sir, could we have some more vids showing the build process etc ? Once again, plaudits + massive respect. A truly lovely job.
Thanks! Glad to see SOMEONE gets it!
sorry mate but you got suckered out of 120k
Cap'nwhoopanigga try buying a running 1970's Falcon in the USA for $30,000, which is 1/4 of what I have into it.
No really.
I'll wait...
Dale Walter give me 30k and I'll give you a running falcon
Awesome car. I think the switchable fake blower for this car is cooler than a functional one. Had to wait to the end of the video to understand why it didn't have the fuel tanks in the back though.
i love it when fan boys make these cars man Respect
Cost him enough 😂😂
That's sick. We get nothing like that here.
Nothing new then? 😂😂🏁
For years I say when someone ask what you would do if you win the lottery. Well make sure wife and kids are fine. And then ship over a Interceptor ! Put it in the yard, hire someone who cleans it up every month. And just stare with a beer thinking this is so cool ! And if anyone want to touch it I say “ touch those tanks and booooom”. Love to dream 👌
This guy has to be the coolest dude ever.
Thanks!
+Dale Walter Congrats man. Really, you have the coolest car in the world.
any chance you drove that car to a drive-in theater when fury road came out
+sapphirestar316 No, no drive in theaters left around here. I did drive it to the movie the first night of FR, and NO ONE recognized it! Walked right past.
I did take it to a showing of Mad Max at a little local theatre. I have pics with it in front if the marquee that says "Mad Max" on it.
Amen on that if I would ever see this badass car my own eyeballs would explode out of my face.
the last of the V8 Interceptors.
One of the last mad max interceptors. For sure... Be a Shame if it got crashed!
He has to be one of the biggest Mad Max super fans. I hope he still owns this car and takes it out on road so others can enjoy catching a glimpse. Just awesome.
I still own the car, although I haven’t been driving it much lately, it’s still on the road, and always turns heads!

Dude this car is the first 'hero' car I ever saw as a kid and no car has ever surpassed it. Max also had the car boobie trapped.
That dude is living my dream lol
Thanks bro. Driving the car is just awesome...
+Dale Walter I feel like I was deprived as a child for no having a chance to see that movie :p
As an Australian with a 73 Holden monaro GTS I salute you sir!
Greetings from germany, i saw this movie many times in my childhood. this car is absolutely awesome !!!
Follow your dreams man. Beautiful car, congrats!
I rolled my eyes at first thinking oh another replica, but realised this is what this man wanted so much and I was really impressed how it was restored from a wreck to this spectacular result. I commend you sir, from Oz.
Thanks! The guys at Mad Max Cars did a great job.
Ahhhh the last of the V8 Interceptors! Sweet ride man!
Ever been pulled over by 'The Bronze' mate? Bloody great car, reminds me of my kid days back in Perth. Stunned that you found a Aussie Falcon in the States.
Actually no. I suspect some police officer who is a Mad Max fan will eventually, however...
Dale Walter Max Rockatanski would be proud of your efforts watch out for scoot jockeys looking to avenge The Night Rider
We know who you are bronze.
Badass brother! When I first saw the movie, I watched it on VHS, it was around 1985, and I was 11 years old at the time, I said that very same thing, that someday I will own THAT car! How someone could not love the Interceptor is beyond me! That car in my opinion, is the epitomy of hot rods! You really did an amazing job on yours, and I'm with you on that car being priceless! I'd be the same way, if someone would offer me 25 million, I'd never sell that car! I love it brother! Take good care of her!
Same here, I saw it on VHS and decades later I settled for a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 with the glorious aluminum LS1 Corvette engine!
Fuck fuel economy. You can buy a car that gets you 50 miles per gallon, or you can buy a car that gets you laid.
Gabriel Rd So true
mr Powell Yeah but a tesla only gets you so far
mr Powell
nope. an electric gets you only eco tards.
If you need a car to get you laid then I'd have more to worry about than fuel economy.
It's not the General Lee.. it's not K.I.T. car.. it's not Smokey & the Bandit's car.. It IS the coolest car that's ever been featured in any movie or T.V. show.. it's Mad Max's Pursuit Innerceptor!
Been a fan of Mad Max since the first one came out, you did a great job on your car👍👍👍
Props to the guy for achieving his dream, right down to the working switchable blower! I do love his observation that its fuel economy would make it suck post any real apocalypse :p
I'm surprised this guy doesn't own a Blue Heeler ...that would be even cooler to drive around with .
Red Heeler, sorry about the late reply
@@edw.2561 nope it was a blue-heeler

Damn, I wish I hadn't watched up to the point he mentioned the blower is fake..
I have seen replicas on YT with real functioning blowers, so don't lose hope lol
The blower is supposed to be fake. If he put a real blower in it wouldnt be like the movie. It needs to be turned on and off
@@user-pl5ds8iz6q
still disappointed. A real blower would have been better.
@@Stephen-gu2gd I get dissappointed when they put real blowers on these movie replicas. Ive seen a few where they put a working blower and doesnt feel like the real thing with the belt always turning
@@user-pl5ds8iz6q in movies they take "shortcuts" and make things look good but in reality they are fake. If you wanna introduce the interceptor to the real world it should be fullly functional. Max wouldnt have anything fake on his car. A fake blower would not impress anyone in the dystopian world he was living in.
My alltime favorite movie car, its just so sinister and this rep is so well done
The only movie car I ever had a passion for.
"Kick it in the guts, Barry..."
pretty sure everyone that saw Mad Max or the Road Warrior wanted that car
This car should be featured on "Jay Leno's Garage".
I'll never forget the first time I saw that car on screen,I was just a kid,unbelievably awesome my favorite car on screen
Now do a Road Warrior version with big fuel tanks, a jump seat for Dog, boobytraps and a hidden machete. 😁
Nice build, man! 👍

Nice to see the steering wheel on the proper side xD

Just driving forever.

Very interesting; there's a guy in Texas that supposedly owns one of THE original cars from the series. His has the giant fuel tanks in the back, the fake blower and everything. He would bring it to the O'reily's I worked at sometimes when he was hunting for parts
I know that guy and the car RoadWarrior Version. (lewisville) You know the fuel tanks are cardboard and his was made for promotions after the movie came out, not for use in filming.
I have a Boss 351 Cleveland so I stood up when you said what engine it has
This is such a cool car!!!! Thanks Barcroft Cars for showcasing this mean ride. sure with a price like this someone could go out and buy an exotic, but so what! you'd just have the same car as everyone else. This is a Unique ride that gets people talking and the owner has fulfilled HIS dream of having a car like this. how many of us can say they own something so unique as this? They should have had this in the latest Mad Max movie.I would have loved to see the creation of this machine from start to finish and all the folks behind it. This video is about a man fulfilling his dream, but so many people just don't get it. I subbed your channel.. Keep up the amazing car stories, Barcroft Cars, I'm a true Fan. Peace!
Finally, someone who knows how to appreciate;) I want dat car doe
TheGoldenLlama I would love to have this car! minus the Shotgun! don't want to ride around with that thing in the car and get pulled over...I value my life too much. lol Movie Cars will always be better than ANY stock factory car... that has no personal touch to it. imagine pulling up in this car at a car show!
Imagine going to college in this car...
TheGoldenLlama imagine going ANYWHERE with this car!!!! I would love to go to a car show featuring all the TV and Movie cars like the Batmobile, Green hornet car, the monsters hotrod, night rider, etc. This guy took a junk car that should have been crushed and scraped and turned it into something AWESOME!!! Got to give him extra credit for that. there are so many cool aspects of this video to admire. would love to just ride in this car on a Sunday afternoon cruising' on the highway.
Trust me guys it's a lot of fun to drive!
I don't care what anyone says - that is ridiculously cool.

Oh my,, thats beautiful the last of the V8!!
this interceptor and KITT are my dream cars!!
Nice one Dale, probably my favourite movie car, especially when it was introduced to Max for the first time by his Boss.
If you're the type of guy who reckons this car is poor value for money, you're in the wrong place.

"lotta civics" i think you're over estimating that there, most kids can't afford doing such a thing to a economy car.

Holly shit man, It's pretty fucking awesome. Congrats
Instead of having a fake supercharger so that it could stay stationary 99.999% of the time, he should've installed a real one that spins all the time. Then it would actually be able to rip a half-decent burnout.
Who cares about 100% movie accuracy? Mad max goes hard, so have your car in beast mode permanently.
01DOGG01 A Ford Cleveland engine can make good power for the car without a blower. All the blower does is shorten engine life and cost you with fuel economy. If you are going to be cruising around town and never using the full performance of the car like drag racing, a supercharger is nothing more than an expensive add-on that costs you money.
mrmopar5287 fuel economy? being worse than the 6 mpg he reckons he's getting? I own an XB coupe, 351C 4 speed and I get 20 odd out of mine....
01DOGG01 the reason the supercharger wasn't real was because the engine couldn't handle the boost
oh come on... what kind of stupidity is that? Are you saying 351 Clevelands cannot be supercharged??? People have done replicas of the interceptor with real blowers, and there are literally hundreds of them in drag racing using superchargers. If the engine is built for supercharging ( lower compression mainly) then pretty well any engine can be supercharged...
Im talking about back in the day when they first built it, I heard they tried supercharging it and the motor blew
driving here in australia with left hand shift is easy ,,, but the only thing left to do for your car is to get Mel Gibson to autograph it and may be then its priceless lol
All of us having different dreams and goals - I always admire those individuals that realize their dreams. It's not up to anyone to judge another's goals or dreams. Keep rocking my friend! Love it!

+PhenomProductions23 in all honesty it does look awesome but I think, in reality, it would look better a little beaten up.....

+michael C With anything you create you choose a point in time. This car is the one Goose and Barry show Max in the MFP garage, not later more weathered versions.
Keeping it like this is a pain. Maybe I should go for a later version...
I know what he means about the fuel consumption. Used to drive a 351 worked XC falcon ute about 20 years ago. I swear the fuel guage used to move when you slammed the pedal. Of course the rear tyres would also smoke at that point.
A very expensive car to keep running.
“The last of the V8 Interceptas” is a line that’s stuck with me since my first view of Road Warrior.

+Kristina Querubin no just leave it in permantly, i dont want to turn it off
they actually do make a clutch blower out of Stockton CA. you just call the company down there and they will hook you up with what you need.
He siad it has the blower, just that it's not activated via the red button? or did i miss something
***** ahhh ok. totally missed that.
The original did not have a working blower. None of the originals did. I know the secret. I have had the pleasure of having intimate access with my camera to the last v8 that was eventually used in post production media for the Road Warrior. It was built by the same people that built the ones used in filming. Its blower operated from the button and all the details were there. Little known secret, the extra tanks were cardboard. As far as the blower the owner asked that I not photograph how it works but in one of the shots I was able to see the mechanics of it. I am keeping that secret.
"You can shut the gate on this one Maxie. It's the duck's guts!"
"What about the blower. Tell him about the blower"
