More on the Mad Max Muscle Machines.....

There's a company called Aussie Coupes that will build you a Mad Max Interceptor. They'll locate a 1973-76 Ford Falcon XB coupe-( Ford sold 211,000 in Australia in those years so there's a good supply). They'll put the spoilers, flares, nose cone, and wheels and tires on it along with the "Zoomie" exhaust pipes. They'll paint it black and rebuild the engine, transmission, brakes, etc. They'll even put a fake blower on it driven by an electric water pump that you can turn on and off with a switch just like the movie car. The real exciting part is-if you want to pay extra-you can get a 4, 5, or 6 speed manual, or a 3 or 4 speed automatic, behind  any Ford engine you want-the 351C that came with the car or a 385 hp SVO 351W crate engine,a 351W based 427 stroker, a 302 with a REAL Roots-type blower rated at 470 hp, or even a 460 based 514 SVO 600 hp monster. They'll also beef up the suspension if you want-you can use a 8 inch, 8.8 or 9 inch Ford rear, depending on how much power you want and they even put Wildwood or Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes on it if you want. Your level of performance is only limited by your wallet and imagination. And they'll ship it to America and make sure it gets through customs legally. The base model is about 30 grand, and a fully loaded one-depending on how hog-wild you go with options can get up to 45-80 grand. But when you consider that a new Toyota Camry or Honda Accord costs over 30 grand, and that a Toyota Tundra pickup or Chevy Tahoe can top 50k loaded, I'd much rather drive around in the Mad Max car with 400+ hp and torture yuppies in Porsches, little boys in their Rice-Rockets and middle aged men in Hemi Chargers,Corvettes, Mustangs,etc. And look totally cool doing it. Far cooler than the cookie-cutter Pro Touring, LS engined old GM Iron that every buff mag has page after page after page of!!  And that's not all-they also offer the "Nightrider" car-the one Max and Goose were chasing all over the land at the beginning of the film. Same deal-they'll find you a late '70's Holden Monaro and put any GM engine in it you want-small or big-block Chevy, LS motor, backed by a TH400 or a 4,5 or 6 speed manual. They'll also build you one of the Yellow Police car replicas if you want, and they offer replicas of other famous movie cars-they'll build you a "General Lee" Dodge Charger, a "Starsky&Hutch" Torino, even a "Batmobile" clone if you want. They have a cool website that's very informative. Just type in Aussie Coupes, or Mad Max Interceptor on google and you'll find their site. Now if if I can get the H/O sold and maybe get a small home equity loan.....I can prowl Nevada's rural highways in a 500 hp interceptor hunting down 'Vettes, and Vipers,.....Mastermind
