Mad Max: 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT351 Coupe

Without doubt the coolest movie we’ve ever seen a GT351 in was Mad Max.

The year: 1979

The movie: Mad Max

In a self-destructing world, a vengeful Australian policeman sets out to stop a violent motorcycle gang.

Director: George Miller
Writers: James McCausland (screenplay), George Miller (screenplay)
Stars: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne

Australia is the real Wild Wild West. If you have criminals high off sherm running loose on your roads, you don’t go after them in regular police cars. Nah, you call the dude with the reinforced Ford Falcon GT. He’s the same dude with a disregard for protocol and personal safety. They go hand in hand.

Mad Fact

The supercharger poking through the hood of Max’s black Police Interceptor, a Ford Falcon XB Coupe, was just for show. It didn’t actually work.

Posters

There are a few different movie posters distributed to different countries.

1974 FORD XB COUPE

This car is a monster and turns heads, drops jaws and stops traffic where ever it goes. For those of you that have seen the car around Brisbane, you will know what I mean when I say the car has real road presence.

The car is Apollo blue and silver and the paint and body work is generally in good condition with only a few blemishes, having been painted approximately seven years ago.

Falcon GT Club of Australia

Clearly the clubhouse leader when it comes to web sites about GT351’s is that of Falcon GT Club of Australia.

The original & oldest motoring club dedicated to the Ford Falcon GT.

This is an excellent web site, clearly laid out with links to Events, Club Cars, Links, Info, Discussion and of course, The Club and how to become a member. Only owners of genuine Falcon GT’s, from the 1967 XR GT to the current FG GT range, including South African GT’s, are eligible for Club membership.

Anyone interested in the GT351 should visit the web site. The info pages include paint codes, option sheets and performance brochures.

gt351.com

Another interesting web site is gt351.com

At the time of review (July 2013), there was one page, one graphic (below) with these words below the image:

COMING TO A STREET NEAR YOU REAL SOON!

Look, there is no law that says domain owners have to have content on their web sites, so maybe they are in the process of creating the content.

We ran a WHOIS report for the domain and found this:

Registrant Details..:
Registrant Name…..: GT Club Australia
First Name……….: GT Club
Last Name………..: Australia
Address Line 1……: PO Box 353
City…………….: Coolangatta
State……………: QLD
Country………….: AU
Post Code………..: 4225

So, hopefully soon GT Club Australia will get some more content up and running.

Cheers
