A movie-loving petrolhead has spent $125,000 to create his dream car - the Mad Max Interceptor. Michigan born Dale Walter, 50, fell in love with the powerful vehicle when he watched George Miller's seminal film over thirty years ago in a tiny theatre, where he told his friend 'someday I will own that car'. The famous car has featured in three of filmmaker Miller's four pictures, including the latest Mad Mad: Fury Road, starring British actor Tom Hardy in the title role. In 2008, Dale commissioned specialist company Mad Max Cars to convert his 1972 Australian Ford Falcon into the iconic Interceptor - a process which took five years and $125,000.

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
@@adamjohnston5250 ha? 🤨
True story mulish muhammadad, he has never been the same since
As a motorcyclist, my worst fear is seeing this guy in my rear view mirror.
i understood that reference :D
@Aussie Andy I'm pretty sure my DR650 would have issues with a 500hp car.
It’s cool bro. I ride too...😉
Are you known as the Toecutter???
lol
" My life fades, my vision dims.
All that remains are memories.
I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land.
Most of all, I remember the man we called Max, the road warrior. "
Awesome recitment
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.
In the roar of an engine he lost everything.
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.
You really have to appreciate people like this who have the passion and drive to create really cool cars like these
and there money😁
@@tomstickney5500 yup if it wasnt for people with money guys like foose coddington etc would have never neen able to create what they did
In an increasingly mediocre world, yes. Mad Max in a tesla? It's just a wheeled cellphone 😝
You notice he not married, that's why he can afford the car.
How do you know? We never got to see the inside of his house?
@@thewintersoldier8387 look at him he's a movie geek.
I’m not married. My girlfriend is drop dead gorgeous, however...
I’m really not a movie geek either, I just liked this car.
Good trade
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.
at least he would turn down 24,999,999 mil
@Pill Cosby Had to sell '76 Silverado Camper Special. Regret it more than i could fathom
no amount can replace your prized car or item , yours always say why did i sell it , or its no my original.
Make a bunch and sell them.
There gotta be a kit car company making these things.
Yeah but how many ‘72 Ford Falcons are left?
Impressed that he even imported a 72 Falcon from Australia.
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.
@Wiseguys96 Badguyz96 Hey! I didn’t do this. Barcroft Media did the video. I’m just the guy who owns the car...
Saw one in Oregon. Original
Awsome. One of my dreams would be to own one day a car from my favorite movie trilogy's. This is one of them. Delorion from back to the future, kitt from night rider and believe it or not a landmaster 1 from damnation ally.
@@ldwalter12 You are living the dream. I love that car so much! Became a huge fan of the Interceptor after the first two films. It really shined bright in Mad Max 2 as a truly bada$$ road warrior.
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.
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!
The one in the movie was 600hp
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
See what you can do with your money when you decide to have no kids.
You aren’t kidding brother!
You don't like kids?
What, a bad copy of a sweet car?
A life of self indulgence and things, sounds like a full life. Keep on truckin.
TheDude Lebowski I think the guys at Mad Max Cars that built it’s might disagree...lol
_"As long as the paperwork's clean you boys can do whatever you like out there"_
The perfect dream car doesn’t exist. Oh wait...
Hardest part about being born about twenty years after the first film's release and becoming a fan 16 years later is the realization that by the time you've gotten a job and saved up enough money for the Mad Max car you've always wanted, Dean's car here will probably literally be the last of the V8 Interceptors still out there.
Well, when I die it’s going to get sold...so...maybe?
And WHY they called me “Dean” throughout the piece is beyond me.
@@ldwalter12 I'm not gonna agree with that cause it'll sound like I'm waiting for you to die XD
But at the same time it's something I would've like to do from the ground up with my own Falcon that I'd buy, cause if I decided to go for the look from The Road Warrior, I'd feel pretty guilty having someone cut up a Falcon that's already set up like the one from the first film.
There's also the issue of me living in Asia.
I appreciate the hope spot, though. Thanks.
KusoTTK231 thanks for not joining the “death watch”...lol. It’s pretty hard to get Falcons in the US now. Import laws changed making it WAY more expensive. Luckily for me the guy I bought this one from brought it in in the 90’s. I totally agree the “Road Warrior” version is cool too, but I wanted the car Max seems in the garage, right when it’s new.
I saw Road Warrior in the theater in 1981. The opening scene when you see that blower is just iconic.
Man i wish i was lucky enough to have seen the road warrior in theater
same here ! I was 9 years old and it was Incredible!!!!!!
Lucky.
Sadly I am not allowed to see madmax but I just love that car
@@manavjogia Why aren't you allowed, Madmax 2 is best.
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
It was not done by him it was done by madmax cars on yt
Worth every penny, can't put a price on living your dream. Nice car, I sunk around 30K into my 68 camaro, and it puts a huge smile on my face every time I drive it.
Thanks!
I thought the Mad Max car was a Ford Maverick?
Jerry C , Did she pay for it?
@@patricktaylor301 nope
To all those involved in the tribute ,restore, and years of finding parts and info you all did a great job by all working together you all brought back a peace of history good job dudes .😎👍
Thanks! I have to give all the credit to the guys at Mad Max cars. They are the experts.
Absolute respect to this inspired man for his dedication to this labour of love!
His car looks and sounds phenomenally good and the details are gorgeous!
This is something very else!
Thanks!
Dude, that is so cool. Love the care and the memories it brings. Right on brother.

Thanks!
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.
A picture of Max's family (wife and kid) is missing from the steering column.
That would’ve made it weird
I actually have that, but it is a bit creepy...
Well you can replace it with a picture of your loved ones ;)
my older brother just got a 1973 hot rod 50 crate ss chevelleturbo 400 tran

As an Australian with a 73 Holden monaro GTS I salute you sir!
Its still the most bad arse ride I’ve EVER seen, well done that man
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? 😂😂🏁

One of the last mad max interceptors. For sure... Be a Shame if it got crashed!
I like this guy. Pursued his dream but is a humble and honest guy. He's not some nerd who can't admit the flaws with it and how unrealistic it would be to have one in the same setting. Many would get offended if you said that. You know the types. Like the fans of Star Wars where you can't talk bad about their previous films.
Thanks man. I’m just telling the truth. Drive it for any length of time and you realize how impractical it would be in a post apocalyptic world. Suspension in the rear is too high, it sucks gas, and it’s front heavy as hell.
Looked awesome as a movie prop, but the reality is a bit different.
@@ldwalter12 congrats, your mney your car, do what you want. 😁 the only downside is for us in oz. the price of coupes is insane due to a shortage of them. Shells can be as high as $65k here now, and thats just the shell. 4 years ago you could get a poor runner for $10k. Those days are long gone. Good restored numbered ones are in $200k territory now
@@gfenwick1 I bought this one in 2008 off a guy who imported it in around 2000 and was just letting it rot. I paid $12,000 for it, and when I saw it I thought “I have never paid more money for a bigger pile of junk!” The guys at Mad Max Cars worked their magic, and it came out amazingly.
Those cars are hedging up on 50 years old. Scarcity is setting in. Parts are getting impossible to get.
@@ldwalter12 theres a lot more parts and panels now being made for them. There are a whole bunch being restored now to a quality that is far better than production.. i wish i’d kept my 74 😁. Cars that used to be written off due to severe rust even a few years ago are being bought back from the dead.
@@gfenwick1 really? Glad to hear that! If I ever smack something in it I can get new parts…
After many years I had to rewatch this. Now I have to stay up to watch Mad Max!!!
You did a great job with this car!! I am a Mad Max fan since the very beginning and your car is just awesome!!!
aww y'know, a p-p-piece from here and a p-p-piece from there 🤘

Bloody brilliant! The sound is awesome. I went and saw the burnt out shell of the car from Mad Max 2, in Silverton NSW, it was gone when we went back a few years later. I miss hearing V8s, not very common here in the U.K., whereas in Oz, it was a daily thing.
The very best black interceptor replica i've ever seen !! Respect Sir !! 👍
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
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.
I saw an interceptor at a mall on the Gold Coast when I was in 9th or 10th grade. Back in the 80’s.
I loved the movie at the time.
Seeing one in person (accidentally too) blew me away.
I still love those movies.
As an Aussie - I approve. You've done a great job mate. Well done.
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.
Ahhhh the last of the V8 Interceptors! Sweet ride man!
I love how honest he is about the gas guzzling problem 😅🏴☠️🖤
Best video of the day. My brain went nostalgia wild as that movie poster with max on the interceptor I have at my boyhood home. Thanks !
Hey guys, the car is mine, and was built the way -I- wanted it. When you build your interceptor you can do yours how -you- want it, or buy something else, or whatever. It's America, we can choose such things.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video. The car is a blast to drive.n thanks to Mad Max Cars for the great build, and Barcroft media for the fantastic footage.
That's fine and all, but you're posting on UA-cam with the expectation that people are going to share their opinions with you on it (otherwise turn the comments off).
That car's a fake piece of shit and you're a poser. If it wasn't for dumbshits like you, there wouldn't be scammers in this world. What the fucks wrong with you putting $12k into a motor that doesn't even have a real supercharger on it?
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.
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.
Nice! This is just Amazing! Love how much care and how you did it to the movie! Great great showpiece, very jelly
I have a Boss 351 Cleveland so I stood up when you said what engine it has
Been a fan of Mad Max since the first one came out, you did a great job on your car👍👍👍
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.
I just seen this.. outstanding.. growing up i had a 67 mercury cyclone..always thought that be a great max mobile..hope to see you out there.. Michigan 💪
I had a Sydney Premiere Mad Max 2 movie poster on my wall as a kid until I moved out of home. Was signed by Wes Craven and Mel Gibson.
Wish I still had it. I knew every line in both Mad Max and Mad Max 2 on VHS and drove everyone crazy in the house every time a Ford X'y drove by.
You did what i always dreamed I would one day!!
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 !
The blower, Max! The blower!
Follow your dreams man. Beautiful car, congrats!
Man, you have my utmost respect, and I envy you big time! The V8 interceptor is my all time favorite movie car. Well done!
Thanks!
Wow! What a machine and a true labour of love
Thanks bro. A lot of people misinterpreted that. What you didn't see was the film crew badgering me to give them a price, SO the point I made was EVERYTHING has a price, even though we all know $25M is ridiculous, I would hand the car over is someone was stupid/rich enough to do that/
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

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 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.
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
To all our American friends out there. GET the version with Australian voices. The dubbed version is a JOKE.
Ive seen it on video and nearly choked on my beer.
Our Ozstraya accent isn't THAT hard to understand.

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!
Oh my,, thats beautiful the last of the V8!!
this interceptor and KITT are my dream cars!!
Now I have to break out my VHS movies! Beautiful ride!
An awesome job, i share your passion for both the movie and cars in the movie. Love from bunbury, West Australia
That.. is... totally.. WICKED! :)

Fantastic looking and sounding Mad Max Interceptor (Ford Falcon GT/GS Fastback.) Thanks for the video!
called them coupes or hardtops here in OZ
Nice one Dale, probably my favourite movie car, especially when it was introduced to Max for the first time by his Boss.
Goodonya mate! They filmed Mad Max about 40 miles from where I grew up, we were not allowed to watch it @ 16 as it was R18 rated LOL... Nice job on the car, see quite a few bikes from the movie still getting around over here in SA, KZ500 and Z1000 Kwakas'...
Wow, this is awesome! Congrats on having such a nostalgic car! I do remember my buddies and I talked about how there's no way a blower would be switchable on an off like he does in the movie, but we still loved it nonetheless. If I may ask, is your blower just empty and the belt doesn't really turn any induction rotors, or how does that work, exactly? You've even got the Weiand brand like Max had! :)
The belt spins absolutely nothing inside the blower. It’s basically a REALLY expensive cover for a 4 bbl carb.
It turns on and off with a magnetic clutch, just like the one in the movie, but serves no purpose than to look cool.
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.
