That's the same as the one i looked at but it was deep forest green.
I still get the Aussie street machine book and they are still building some awesome cars over your way.

Yes the only problem with the movie was that fake supercharger on/off switch
The movie was filmed not far from where I live here in Australia  |

hey wasnt the block on the madmax falcon a mopar 383 well if that's true you'd have to wonder the hell WHY?!?! Fomoco fans might enjoy this site (note the nifty toploader page-selector!) particularly 'Garage' and 'Articles' (Phase 4, PDF selections 2 & 3) for stuff like this:  |

Those are some nice Falcons. They stopped making them over here in the 60s. Also, I have seen on/off superchargers. They use a mechanical clutch system on the pulley.

The Interceptor is FOUND!!!
Here's a website relating to the Interceptor...
http://www.madmaxmovies.com/cars/int.../history1.html This tells the history of the car including Pics and also where the car is now! It's at 'Cars of the Stars Motor Museum' in Keswick, in the English Lake District - Lots of Pics too! Incidentally, Peter Arcadipane who worked on the car designed the famous 'Super-roo' logo on the Falcon GT's as well as working on the original Holden Monaros... The site also features stuff on all the other cars that appear in the Mad Max Movies... :sun: |
