The V8 Interceptor, also known as a Pursuit Special, is driven by Max Rockatansky at the end of Mad Max and for the first half of Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

It is based on a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe, which was modified to become a police interceptor by the Main Force Patrol.

The vehicle also makes an appearance in Mad Max: Fury Road and is later modified into an off-road bare metal version called the Razor Cola.

After Max’s family is killed by the Toecutter’s gang, Max steals the Interceptor and uses it to track down and eliminate members of the gang and Toecutter himself, as well as Johnny the Boy.

Max then drives off into the Wasteland.

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.
