AUTOart Ford Falcon XB “Interceptor” Mad Aussie Muscle Taken to the Max
MAD MAX’S PURSUIT SPECIAL IS ABSOLUTELY A CULT CLASSIC AND BELONGS IN THE TOP 10 MOVIE CARS OF ALL TIME ON ITS OWN MERITS.
It’s been nearly 10 years since AUTOart produced its original Ford Falcon XB “Interceptor” as it appeared in the opening seconds of the post-apocalyptic movie masterpiece The Road Warrior (1981), and more than five years since the upgraded version with several refinements, along with a limited-edition version with a muddy/rusty patina. Each version has been met with eager enthusiasm by collectors, even as we pined for a pre-apocalyptic version from the original 1979 Mad Max decked out the way it was when young MFP officer Max Rockatansky jumped behind the wheel for the very first time.
