Stinger390X Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 We have the Mad Max Interceptor in Niagara!Yes a buddy of mine was obsessed with the movie and bought a Falcon from Australia and built everything for the car on his own. He used to freeze frame the vhs tape...yes I`m not kidding... to get the detail to each part of the car. He built the rear deck spoiler and made the blower drive fully functional with the slipt shift on the shifter and painted it just like in the movie. Every detail is so exact that I remember the story where he went to the Barrie swap meet and saw a set of tires that were eight tread(like in the movie) and he had a set of tens treads. He offered the guy an even trade and cash just to have the exact original tires that were in the movie.The car is absolutely remarkable and can be seen on almost any friday night at cruise night in Welland at the mall parking lot or sometimes on Lundy`s Lane in Niagara Falls on a sunday night when all the other hot rods come out to play. It`s quite a head turner actually and the tourists love it! He hangs with another pal of mine Frank who has an original 69 Firebird with a six pack. Both cars are remarkable, for you piston heads out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its auto and all that but interesting anyway http://inventory.dezercollection.com/1973-ferrari-daytona-miami-vice-car-c-507.htmah I recognize that car' date=' thats a C4 based daytona replica, meaning its based on the wedge C4 that had just come out in 1984 when the show started:[img']http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/1984_Corvette.jpgnot the C3 like the daytonas in the show that was made from 68 to 82'hence why the car looks really off compaired to the one in the show and the seats dont even protrude over the rear of the car like they do with the C3's and its actually the one I came across for the pilot daytona striping example I used awhile back when flickr was working right (but for some reason the searches are screwed up right now, some sort of merdger with yahoo)so its definitely NOT the mv caranyways back ontopic here but the odd thing about that entry looking at it again is that it says its a 74' when its not, its a 73 XB GT Coupe, probably a minor typoand reason why I was looking at it is because the interceptor is coming back for the new film. http://www.madmaxmovies.com/mad-max-4-fury-road/fury-road-cars/fury-road-interceptor/index.htmlwhich judging by its looks is probably going to be an inbetween of the first two films. after all I always kind of wondered what the hell happened in that timespan between the first two films that we went from civlization to barbarianizmn and yet the interceptor and the other cars despite the damage and the dirt didnt seem that old or worn compaired to when we saw them last.and we didnt really get a good explanation for this either as the second film didnt even have the title mad max in the states, it was just called the road warrior so I get the feeling the only reason they had that intro sequence explaining that the world had gone to hell was for the americans as a jumping on point who hadnt seen the first film back in 79'We have the Mad Max Interceptor in Niagara!Yes a buddy of mine was obsessed with the movie and bought a Falcon from Australia and built everything for the car on his own.

Both cars are remarkable' date=' for you piston heads out there...[/quote']hmm sounds like me with the vette/daytona actually. wonder if he'll mix in some fury road mods to it once the new film hits as I kind of like the new netting for the headlights over the old ones. although I'd make them more horizontal and less honeycomb like simlar to the way they were on the original car although from a distance it has a subtile sort of effect to it: and why do I get the feeling I've seen a video of that car on youtube and its probably more accurate to the movie than the real car from the sound of it as when the interceptor was restored the guy misspainted the car and forgot about the color difference paint job it had that was just burried underneath all of that dirt which you can see here and here, you can see the color difference is still there more or less around the spoiler atleast, although it looks like they rubbed down the gloss coat for the second film and this is how it looked after the resto, he even painted the wheels a high gloss black when they were matt in the filmsas he put smoked plexyglass on along with a few other incorrect things, hell it doesnt look anything like it did in the first two movies now, atleast when it comes to the exterior save for the switched over plexyglass and gold stickers, really just should have found a new peter arcadepaine front end like the last V8 fan car hashttp://www.madmaxmovies.com/mad-max-fans/mad-max-replica-cars/mad-max-interceptors/last-v8-mad-max-xb-interceptor/index.htmlfixed the blower and done some basic repairs to it to make it road worthy again and left it alone as once its restored it can never be original again.

aussiefan Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks KAVINSKY, for the technical info on the Daytona. I remmember years ago seeing a Daytona body kit, you could get from England I think, that fitted a Nissan 260Z. I assume all these different body kits boomed with Miami Vice.But back on topic, I had heard rumours a while back of a new MAd MAx film but did not know how far along it was.

He made all the add-ons such as the roof and trunk spoiler and the front end and blower unit and scoop, but the base car is an original shipped over from the land down under.

I ment the daytona aussiefan posted a link to with this, this one which is a Chevy Corvette C4 based ferrari daytona replica http://inventory.dezercollection.com/1973-ferrari-daytona-miami-vice-car-c-507.htm not the ford falcon but nonetheless to do that from scratch is pretty god damn impresive, he must have really loved the car to do that much work on it.

cageyJG Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Man, how did I miss this before? There was something for everyone in that video, missed the Mad Max car but saw the Bettie Page photo with two cheetahs, rowr!I hope Fury Road is finished. Has gone kind of silent lately. If this Dark Blood movie with River Phoenix can be finished, so can Fury Road.A year ago when I was on one of my Mad Max binges I was seriously thinking about going to Wasteland Weekend but then I thought maybe not..
