The Blacksunshine Project If you were a gearhead back in the 80s, you knew it was fake the first time you watched Mad Max. Still cool car movie though!
I love this car, even in a standard form, only 2 or 3 things i can see missing is the MFP licence plate, the gold crest and the Weiand badge on the supercharger.
He was the mechanic - ya know a pppiece from here and a pppiece from there. Lucky i live in Australia mate. As i can & have visited MFP Headquarters ( Victoria, Melbourne Uni Underground carpark) a few times. And numerous other filming locations. U can go to 99.9 % of locations.
1973 Ford Falcon is awesome car. I personally like it. Thanks LOU for sharing this beautiful Falcon. Please have a great successful business week. Kind Regards HISHAM ELFIKI
Hi Hisham Elfiki, Glad you like it :-) Thank you for the well wishes for the week. Please share this video with your Friends so we can have fun passing "Brian's Facebook Challenge". Thank you, Lou
What 13 year old kid doesn't remember when Mad Max came out. This was my dream car in my teenage years and even today would definitely be in the top 5.
I'm 62 and was a young man when this came out. I too love the smell of gasoline. Probably a partial reason for the cancer I have.Nothing beats the sound and feel of a blown V8 sitting under you.
The blue light and family pic were gone in the Road Warrior film. Also the Arcadipane nose had no lower portion in the beginning of the Road Warrior and the entire nose was destroyed early in the film. Great replica though down to the correct front and rear wheels and many interior details.
Australian cars like this Falcon, the Holden Morano, Torana, Valiant Chargers are very cool & are very rare here in the U.S. Thank you Lou for suggesting this video, great stuff as always.
Great seeing the interior! "The Road Warrior" is easily one of my top 5 favorite movies. I don't know how many times I've watched it but I've never seen the interior in such detail. Cheers!🍻
All the best from Adelaide south Australia 🇦🇺 where the original Mad Max cars were built at , the original one was for 2 years left at Evans wrecking yard at Heathfield just near Stirling he was supposed to wreck it but he never had the courage , then it went to local Adelaide hills museum at Birdwood then they used the car for shows around Australia . Looks awesome I love it , everything looks spot on amazingly done I love the interior so much 10/10 👏🏼🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼🇦🇺
Greatings from the Barossa valley... I have a photo of the car at the Birdwood museum i think it was there back in the late 90's... 98-99 ? , back then i thought it was only a replica, i found out after it left it was the real deal . It can't have been long after that it went to England to the star cars museum.
@@paulreichelt1259 correct. I too saw it at Birdwood; i looked in the tanks (they were empty) and i remeber looking underneath to see the 9" LSD with ventilated rear discs. If i had know what i know now, i would've stolen it. haha I have a feeling it was there around 93,94? i don't think it was there in 98, 99 ? ps- email me that birdwood photo PLEASE thanks = d a s b u l l i t t @yahoo.

Saw the cars when they were making the first movie, the crew were staying at a house corner Loch st and Earl st Kew, Melbourne. Me and my 12-14 year old, snotty nosed mates were drooling over the cars as there were two yellow interceptors and the black pursuit special parked in the street. A couple of them came out and talked to us, instead of just telling us to f... off. Great guys, very classy cars.

I wish they would get the identity of the car correct. It is not an interceptor the yellow XA March Hare was driving and the yellow XB Max was driving at the start of Mad Max were interceptors . The black HQ Coupe and this car ( the last of the V8s) as Barry called in the lower garage are actually Pursuit Specials.
Mad max 2 movie ,,it was called a police interceptor , the bloke said to max when they towed it into there fuel factory ,how did you get this it,s the last of the interceptors ,,so i guess it was actually a police interceptor pursuit special ..

I liked how it looked after he crashed the front in the beginning and all of it crumbled away. That was how it looked for most of the movie. Just some headlights and the core support.....way more tough
I loved that part of the film, because to me, it showed Max would do whatever it took to survive in that post nuclear war world. If he had to trash the front end of his beloved Interceptor, so be it.

Я стопроцентный байкер и никогда в жизни не водил автомобиль, но с тех пор, как увидел фильм мечтаю о такой же, именно о такой внешне красивой и ухоженной, как в первом фильме и с таким вот интерьером и с дополнительными топливными баками, как во втором фильме. Спасибо за видео с теми подробностями, что в фильме отсутствуют .
мне тоже нравится, это как то даже лучше чем любые супер машины или тюнеры, просто машина с минимальным комфортом.Мотоциклы это конечно самое крутое для полного эффекта но некоторые машины как эта или старые классики тоже могут быть интересными
As an Aussie that owns to Holden HQ car and Ute from that same vintage i am very impressed to see this car. One of the original cars ended up in a wrecking yard near Broken Hill (sadly). They did the stunts only one (small budget, limited cars) on the film. They even borrowed an apprentice's Sandman Van to use in the movie. Peter Brocks brother Phil Brock did a lot of the driving in the stunt scenes.

Awesome car! It was an otherworldly movie. Now I'm gonna have to watch it (them) again! Also, I was too young to know better when the movie came out. But later on, I realized the blower was fake in the movie. So the car is true to the movie car!

There's a gentleman that got Nashville Ford falcon in page six figures to restore it. This one was restored to mad Max the very first movie. This guy's just a super fan with a lifelong childhood dream it was pretty impressive. It was perfect down to the main Force patrol badge on the side of the car.

Dinki DYE mate (like DIana) not dee. Also fun fact the nosecone was designed by Peter* (may have stuffed up his first name) Arcadipane who had a long association with Ford Australia...may have been an employee but if I recall right he had his own design house and consulted under contract to them. He styled many classic Aussie muscle cars, not just Fords. This is an "XB" and the body style was shared (in order) XA, XB, XC. You can tell an XB from an XA by the tailights which slant inwards on the XA as well as a different front clip design (gurads, bonnet, grille, lights).

Lou Costabile quick reply! I remember the rear footwells being cut out for the cameras I guess. It was also pretty tatty, loads of filler cracking, especially around the rear spoiler. From memory, there is 2 cars, the one which was totaled in mm2 was also rebuilt.
best movie eva Mad Max 2 i owned a coke can red 73’ XB sedan bought it for $500 dollars damn the memories in that beast so rare they were built like a battleship strong as an ox wish i still had it go U good thing “ it would b a shame too blow it up”
Those cars are bad ass, like most everyone else here in America I'd never seen or heard of them until the first movie came out in 79, then like everyone else I started asking "Were can I get one of those?", unfortunately however they're pretty few and far between here in the US especially since the MM movies have become classics, back in the day no one but us gear heads cared about cars like that and now unless you're a millionaire you can't even think about owning one, thanks Barrett-Jackson for turning cars that were $1,500 when I was in high school to overpriced things for rich people to brag about owning.
Man, the Aussies sure got one helluva better looking Falcon than America did,...the American version was the ugliest, most HOMELY thing ive ever seen!! It was pathetic!!
Mate you should check out all the HOT Falcon made here. We had it great. All gone now thanks to no interest in our car industry. Look up Falcon GT Cobra, Phase II & III, Tickford Falcons and FPR Falcons.
That was Ford does historically. They have given much more nicer cars to Australia then the U.S. look at many of the cars Australia has, they Fors and if they were in the US they would assist with the decline of cars sold. I know as I was in Australia and seen many cars Ford will not sell in the US.
Hi lifelessdead89, You're right, that would be cool. Please share the cars video with your Friends as I'd like to beat Brian's FaceBook page views. Thank you, Lou
the mad max car is very cool.....i think the blower in the movie was fake also because i have never seen a supercharger that could be turned off and on like in the movie lol...cool video as always Lou
Hi Anna Mills, Glad you enjoy the "very cool" ride :-) Please share this video with your Friends so we can have fun passing "Brian's Facebook Challenge". Thank you, Lou
Vintage Mercedes 540K and possibly a Bentley of similar age had superchargers that could be turned off. The mercedes one only turned on at full throttle.
That model Falcon wasn't low production numbers. It was a major seller at the time when it came out and in my age group getting your licence in the late 80's early 90's it was often a cheap used first car to by for new drivers there were so many around. In fact you were never short of a part if you needed one as the wreckers were full of them. It's just than now it's very difficult indeed to get your hands on one.
Ford Australia made this body shape for XA, XB and XC GTs between 1973 and I think 1979 or 1980. They were offered with the 302 Windsor and 351 Cleveland motors. I don’t remember a six cylinder option. They had three speed automatic or four speed manual transmissions. The front of this car, which is vaguely reminiscent of a Chevy Monza, was not found on any of these cars and is just a mod for the movie.
There certainly WAS a 6 cylinder option as a 1974 XB GS coupe was my very first car when I was 17...had a 4.1 L 250cc motor.They finished production with the XC in 1978...1979 was the birth of an all new european looking Falcon named XD. The front end was made by Peter Arcdipane and it was called a concorde front nose, yes based on a Monza...Alot of panel vans had them fitted around the same time as MM1
Road Warrior was the first movie I saw when I was 10. I literally loved everything about the movie. To this day it's still my favorite.Thats also when the Falcon became my dream car that I would hope to build someday. After all these years since 83 I finally got one. Can anyone that might read this give me some names or contacts on factory built parts for these cars? By the way the video is cool! Always like anything about any of those cars period
Hi Stacey White , Happy to read this movie and car are favorites of yours :-) Unfortunately I have no knowledge of factory built parts for the cars, however happy to read you enjoy this video, and hope you see many more cars on this Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
... another thing that is inaccurate is the front Monza nose cone, the original Arcadipane front nose cone from Australia back in the 70s, came in 2 styles, the truck front, and the car front. The movie cars in both MM1 and MM2, used the Car front nose cone, the one on that car in the above video is the much wider truck nose cone. Once you notice the difference, you'll never be able to un-notice it on all the replica cars out there, although there are some replicas with the correct Car front nose cone, instead of the Truck nose cone.

Since you want the effect of being able to turn the blower on/off. Why wouldn't it have been easier to just put the blower on a magnetic pto clutch on the crankshaft? The blower belt would stop and you would have the effect you wanted. I also would have put an intercooler under the blower for air by pass with a couple of turbos plumbed into the intercooler. Of course I would have the turbo intakes in the front... which would have not been stock to the original but perhaps you could sorta put them in where the headlights are and get away with it still being original.

@@loucostabile Yeah, I was but wasn't cos it's keeping in with the movie car.

Just like Dom's black charger in Fast and Furious. If it look good and sounds good on screen it works.
The Blacksunshine Project If you were a gearhead back in the 80s, you knew it was fake the first time you watched Mad Max. Still cool car movie though!

Mad max 2 movie ,,it was called a police interceptor , the bloke said to max when they towed it into there fuel factory ,how did you get this it,s the last of the interceptors ,,so i guess it was actually a police interceptor pursuit special ..
The radio chatter in MM1 refers to Max having stolen a "Pursuit Special"
Everyone calles it the Interceptor, but it's not.
Black on Black. Was a Pursuit Special. Just like the MFP Monaro the Nightrider stole.
@Marc Rossbridge But they stuffed up in movie & had 'Interceptor' on XA March Hare but was supposed to have 'Pursuit' on boot lid.
I got the rest of the Interior out of this car and the overhead console for my MM Interceptor...…. It was like New....Thanks Jim

I want it! Don't care if it's 100% correct that car is BAD ASS !
High praise for this car :-)
As an Aussie that owns to Holden HQ car and Ute from that same vintage i am very impressed to see this car. One of the original cars ended up in a wrecking yard near Broken Hill (sadly). They did the stunts only one (small budget, limited cars) on the film. They even borrowed an apprentice's Sandman Van to use in the movie. Peter Brocks brother Phil Brock did a lot of the driving in the stunt scenes.

Awesome car! It was an otherworldly movie. Now I'm gonna have to watch it (them) again! Also, I was too young to know better when the movie came out. But later on, I realized the blower was fake in the movie. So the car is true to the movie car!

There's a gentleman that got Nashville Ford falcon in page six figures to restore it. This one was restored to mad Max the very first movie. This guy's just a super fan with a lifelong childhood dream it was pretty impressive. It was perfect down to the main Force patrol badge on the side of the car.

Dinki DYE mate (like DIana) not dee. Also fun fact the nosecone was designed by Peter* (may have stuffed up his first name) Arcadipane who had a long association with Ford Australia...may have been an employee but if I recall right he had his own design house and consulted under contract to them. He styled many classic Aussie muscle cars, not just Fords. This is an "XB" and the body style was shared (in order) XA, XB, XC. You can tell an XB from an XA by the tailights which slant inwards on the XA as well as a different front clip design (gurads, bonnet, grille, lights).

Lou Costabile quick reply! I remember the rear footwells being cut out for the cameras I guess. It was also pretty tatty, loads of filler cracking, especially around the rear spoiler. From memory, there is 2 cars, the one which was totaled in mm2 was also rebuilt.
best movie eva Mad Max 2

Hi Alx Axman, Happy to read you enjoy this movie & car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Those cars are bad ass, like most everyone else here in America I'd never seen or heard of them until the first movie came out in 79, then like everyone else I started asking "Were can I get one of those?", unfortunately however they're pretty few and far between here in the US especially since the MM movies have become classics, back in the day no one but us gear heads cared about cars like that and now unless you're a millionaire you can't even think about owning one, thanks Barrett-Jackson for turning cars that were $1,500 when I was in high school to overpriced things for rich people to brag about owning.

The front bumper was missing on the Mad Max 2 car in the movie. But still a cool replica for a Museum.
Hi iggytse, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and glad to read you think this one is cool :-) Lou
The bumper isnt meant to be their since it was a recreation of the second movie
Metal Motto
Correct
This 'display' is really a hybrid of TWO cars!
The bumper was there at the beginning of the second movie
It got taken out when it rear ended the naughty car.
Z. Files
No it’s not. The lamp covers get smashed off in the first chase, but there is no bumper
His views are from the people who originally saw the movies
Nice :-)
Man, the Aussies sure got one helluva better looking Falcon than America did,...the American version was the ugliest, most HOMELY thing ive ever seen!!
It was pathetic!!
Hi Tom, Please share your feelings on the American Version :-) Stay well, Lou
Mate you should check out all the HOT Falcon made here. We had it great. All gone now thanks to no interest in our car industry. Look up Falcon GT Cobra, Phase II & III, Tickford Falcons and FPR Falcons.
Aussie Falcons were great. Check out fords turbo barra engines xr6. Some guys are getting a 1300 hp.
That was Ford does historically. They have given much more nicer cars to Australia then the U.S. look at many of the cars Australia has, they Fors and if they were in the US they would assist with the decline of cars sold. I know as I was in Australia and seen many cars Ford will not sell in the US.

Anna Mills ... wrong !!! its equipped with a electronic clutch pulley on the bottom pulley ...
Vintage Mercedes 540K and possibly a Bentley of similar age had superchargers that could be turned off.
The mercedes one only turned on at full throttle.
@@feeshtacos the original mad max car did not have a functional supercharger..this is common knowledge around car people
1972/1973 is XA
Thank you for sharing.
That model Falcon wasn't low production numbers. It was a major seller at the time when it came out and in my age group getting your licence in the late 80's early 90's it was often a cheap used first car to by for new drivers there were so many around. In fact you were never short of a part if you needed one as the wreckers were full of them. It's just than now it's very difficult indeed to get your hands on one.
Hi My Day, Thank you for viewing and sharing. Hope you see many more cars on this UA-cam Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Ford Australia made this body shape for XA, XB and XC GTs between 1973 and I think 1979 or 1980. They were offered with the 302 Windsor and 351 Cleveland motors. I don’t remember a six cylinder option. They had three speed automatic or four speed manual transmissions. The front of this car, which is vaguely reminiscent of a Chevy Monza, was not found on any of these cars and is just a mod for the movie.
Hi TheThirdMan, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
@@loucostabile Sorry: XC production ended in 1978., not 1979 or 1980.
There certainly WAS a 6 cylinder option as a 1974 XB GS coupe was my very first car when I was 17...had a 4.1 L 250cc motor.They finished production with the XC in 1978...1979 was the birth of an all new european looking Falcon named XD. The front end was made by Peter Arcdipane and it was called a concorde front nose, yes based on a Monza...Alot of panel vans had them fitted around the same time as MM1
Tommy Orr Jr Yeah, my memory fails me.
Tommy Orr Jr I think you mean 250 CID...

Road Warrior was the first movie I saw when I was 10. I literally loved everything about the movie. To this day it's still my favorite.Thats also when the Falcon became my dream car that I would hope to build someday. After all these years since 83 I finally got one. Can anyone that might read this give me some names or contacts on factory built parts for these cars? By the way the video is cool! Always like anything about any of those cars period

... another thing that is inaccurate is the front Monza nose cone, the original Arcadipane front nose cone from Australia back in the 70s, came in 2 styles, the truck front, and the car front. The movie cars in both MM1 and MM2, used the Car front nose cone, the one on that car in the above video is the much wider truck nose cone. Once you notice the difference, you'll never be able to un-notice it on all the replica cars out there, although there are some replicas with the correct Car front nose cone, instead of the Truck nose cone.

Eleanor behind. Go baby go
Nice :-)
Since you want the effect of being able to turn the blower on/off. Why wouldn't it have been easier to just put the blower on a magnetic pto clutch on the crankshaft? The blower belt would stop and you would have the effect you wanted.
I also would have put an intercooler under the blower for air by pass with a couple of turbos plumbed into the intercooler. Of course I would have the turbo intakes in the front... which would have not been stock to the original but perhaps you could sorta put them in where the headlights are and get away with it still being original.
Hi sy2532, Putting a blower on is a fun idea :-) Lou
