Okay, I’m not so sure the turbine is functional.

Hell, no! The cars in the movie "Mad Max "(its proper name :tongue: )
were cool. That one is just cruel. I cannot believe it's actually allowed on the road :eek: :biggrin:


Actually, you both are right. The car was featured in the first two of the Mad Max trilogy. The first one was called "Mad Max," and was a huge hit in Australia. Since there was limited exposure to the first movie here in the USA, the sequel was called "The Road Warrior" when it hit our shores. Back in Australia, it was simply called "Mad Max II."



Some trivia:

The black Interceptor driven by Mel Gibson is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe, a car exclusive to Australia. A limited number of these cars were exported by Ford to New Zealand and the United Kingdom, but never to North America. Since only 949 of that particular model Falcon were ever produced, they have become highly sought after by car collectors on six continents; there are approximately 13 of them that were privately brought over to the United States along with several Interceptor clones assembled from "non-GT" Falcon coupes.
