A movie-loving petrolhead has spent $125,000 to create his dream car - the Mad Max Interceptor. Michigan born Dale Walter, 50, fell in love with the powerful vehicle when he watched George Miller's seminal film over thirty years ago in a tiny theatre, where he told his friend 'someday I will own that car'. The famous car has featured in three of filmmaker Miller's four pictures, including the latest Mad Mad: Fury Road, starring British actor Tom Hardy in the title role. In 2008, Dale commissioned specialist company Mad Max Cars to convert his 1972 Australian Ford Falcon into the iconic Interceptor - a process which took five years and $125,000.

    Then you get sucked into a blower. If you've never seen this on a cinema screen, I HIGHLY recommend it. George Miller did not make films for Netflix and such. He's old skool. I don't care how big your TV is, it is a TOTALLY different experience on a cinema screen. Occasionally one will show retro films.

    Close. My life fades the vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos ruined dreams (of) this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the Road Warrior the man we called Max. To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time when the world was powered by the black fuel and the deserts sprouted great cities of pipe and steel. Gone now swept away. For reasons long forgotten, two mighty warrior tribes went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering machines sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled the cities exploded. A whirlwind of looting a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On the roads it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to scavenge brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways ready to wage war for a tank of juice. And in this maelstrom of decay ordinary men were battered and smashed. Men like Max the warrior Max. In the roar of an engine, he lost everything and became a shell of a man a burnt out, desolate man a man haunted by the demons of his past. A man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here in this blighted place that he learned to live again.

    As an Aussie Mad Max fan living 10kms away where the filmed most of the orig, I’ve seen a couple of Interceptors around. When I clicked on the thumbnail I totally expected an Aussie accent and thought “alright, you don’t see many but looks clean and well done”. Then, it’s “fark me a yank” big RESPECT. My envy is a high as my respect! It’s not easy to get some base parts of Aussie fords these days and he got em shipped over. Thumbs up mate. Would’ve loved a ride. (Or to get out a Holden HQ and play the role of Nightrider like we used to. Screaming “I am the Nightrider. I’m a fuel injected suicide machine. I am a rocker.......”. Damn, I’m gonna watch it again tonight. Thanks dude. Always revvs me up!

    When making Fury Road the film had to purchase some 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT's to be Max's car. It's an incredibly difficult car to find in Australia because Americans have purchased every rust heap thats offered up for sale. The XB's they found and multiple were needed were in really poor condition. Honestly in my books the most valuable Mad Max Car is "Razor Cola" also known as "Caltrop #6" in production documents is a heavily modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe most notably driven by Slit. It's the most valuable because there is only 1. No duplicates were made as with many of the other Fury Road vehicles.

    Thanks man. I’m just telling the truth. Drive it for any length of time and you realize how impractical it would be in a post apocalyptic world. Suspension in the rear is too high, it sucks gas, and it’s front heavy as hell. Looked awesome as a movie prop, but the reality is a bit different.

    Instead of having a fake supercharger so that it could stay stationary 99.999% of the time, he should've installed a real one that spins all the time. Then it would actually be able to rip a half-decent burnout. Who cares about 100% movie accuracy? Mad max goes hard, so have your car in beast mode permanently.

    01DOGG01 A Ford Cleveland engine can make good power for the car without a blower. All the blower does is shorten engine life and cost you with fuel economy. If you are going to be cruising around town and never using the full performance of the car like drag racing, a supercharger is nothing more than an expensive add-on that costs you money.

    zrxgrim We build them regularly for clients all over the world, so we get lots of practice, and the owners do seem to think they are perfect.... but we never stop improving!

    MadMaxCars Farken beaut build, mate. I used to have an XA two door Falcon 351ci FMX auto box and 9 inch arse end when I was 19. It used to go like shit off a chrome shovel. I'd easily go through a set of 16 inch mickey thomsons in one burnout... good times.

    Mad Max Cars built the car exactly the way that I, the guy paying for it, wanted it done. The machine is pure art.

    Badass brother! When I first saw the movie, I watched it on VHS, it was around 1985, and I was 11 years old at the time, I said that very same thing, that someday I will own THAT car! How someone could not love the Interceptor is beyond me! That car in my opinion, is the epitomy of hot rods! You really did an amazing job on yours, and I'm with you on that car being priceless! I'd be the same way, if someone would offer me 25 million, I'd never sell that car! I love it brother! Take good care of her!

    Same here, I saw it on VHS and decades later I settled for a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 with the glorious aluminum LS1 Corvette engine!
