  • Wastie Birdo knows that if you have to ask, you can't afford it. He asks anyway. He finds the original on-screen Mad Max 1 and 2 black-on-black Interceptor Ford Falcon XB at the Dezerland Museum in Orlando Florida. Along the way he encounters real movie vehicles from James Bond For Your Eyes Only, Batman, Speed Racer, Grease, The Saint, The Monkees, Starsky and Hutch, Easy Rider, and most significantly, Megaforce.

    Hey Wastie, you should try to track down the Mad Max 1 Max family Panel Van. A HJ Holden I think a done up Belmont rather than Sandman, with a Statesman nose with Fairmont GXL headlights. I think there are some replicas around but I don’t know what happened to the original. Also, I have heard that a Rambler AMX was considered for Mad Max 1 and painted up but they decided to go with only Australia unique models.

    I noticed this XB has the boot mounted fuel tanks. That setup was only present in MM 2. I wasn't aware they modified the car from the first movie for that purpose. I knew Miller was on a really tight budget for the first movie, but I figured he had some more flexibility by the second!

    The Interceptor has to come back to its homeland. It needs to be in Adrians Mad Max Museum in Silverton. But is not worth the 2.5 mill they are asking for. Most original parts have been takin off & replaced & not OG paint. Blower sits to high.

    12:09 Being of Italian heritage made me realise that not only Italian have made their own language of sorts but there is always "Spanglish" (I'm sure you've heard of that one!), and nearly every nationality does this and at least there is even a dictonary of Italo -Australian it's mad!
    Yarda = Yard, Fensa = Fence, bega = bag (usually plastic bag), and so on!
    I suppose it's an example of how language develops...
    Most sad though is how Italian language has and is increasingly adopting American marketing terms as they see it modern and "chic"

    $2.5 Million USD for the MM Interceptor 🤔 The Cars of the Stars Museum in the UK paid $70,000 AUD for it when they bought it. The UK Museum wanted $1 Million AUD for it when Peter owned it and was asked what he would sell it for.

    • @WastelandFirebird
      @WastelandFirebird  Před 15 dny

      Yeah I think it will actually only sell when it goes to auction someday, when the current owner dies (unless his kids want to keep the museum going). I doubt it will get over 2 million. But over 1 million? Maybe!
