Ford Falcon XB Interceptor, 1974
Chassis No.: JG65PM22537K Auction: Kissimmee 2021 Auction date: January 16, 2021 Lot No.: F142 $96,250 | Sold • Exterior: Black • Interior: Black • True Australian Falcon XB • Shipped to the United States and built with Australian components • Built in the style of Max Rockatansky’s modified Interceptor from the Mad Max films • Right hand drive • 351 CI V-8 engine • Functional Weiand blower • Dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors • Valve covers built to look like overhead cams • Zoomie-style headers • 4-speed manual transmission • Perpendicular jump seat built into passenger door • Hurst floor shifter • Column-mounted tachometer One of the most iconic movie cars ever made, the Falcon XB Interceptor, or Pursuit Special, started life as a 1973 Ford Falcon XB by Ford of Australia. The 1979 movie “Mad Max” called for an intense, mean-looking vehicle to match the mood of a disenchanted Australian police officer looking to exact revenge on a motorcycle gang that killed his wife and son. Jon Dowding, the film’s art director, designed the Interceptor and commissioned Graf-X International of Melbourne to bring it to life. The modifications included roof and trunk spoilers, wheel arch flares, special front nose cone and air dam, eight exhaust pipes (two of which actually worked) and of course the matte finish black paint. It’s likely the most interesting mod would be the functional Weiand 6-71 supercharger jutting through the hood, one of the more menacing features of the car. In the movie, the supercharger had a unique feature, a switch that could activate and deactivate it, an engineering nightmare, but something that added to the car’s unique allure. This is a true 1974 Ford Falcon XB Interceptor built to mimic the “Mad Max” movie car. Shipped to the U.S. and built with Australian components in the style of “Mad” Max Rockatansky’s modified Pursuit Special, the XB Interceptor has right-hand drive, a column-mounted tachometer, a 351 CI V-8 engine with customized valve covers that look like overhead cams, a functional Weiand blower, dual Holley 4-barrel carburetors, Zoomie-style headers and a 4-speed manual transmission with a floor-mounted Hurst shifter. It’s even got the perpendicular jump seat built into the passenger door, which, of course, is on the left. An exciting replica of Max’s Pursuit car, it was a character all by itself in the movie, developing its own fanbase. This one is packed with details like the overhead console, blue police light, red button on the shifter, destroyed upholstery and so much more—it’s really a great way to unwind after a hard day, making it a tempting daily driver. Who would ever dare cut this thing off? https://www.mecum.com/lots/444499/1974-ford-falcon-xb-interceptor/
