    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.

      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.

    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.......”.

    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.

      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.

      @@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.
