The coupe in the movie was an XB GT, there were two yellow XBs and a yellow XA car. The nightriders car was a 6cyclinder munro (sounds dubbed in).

The rectangular headlamps on the coupe were not XC ones, which were much larger. The orginal coupe now lives in the CARS OF THE STARS museam in England.

BM, corect and correct.

In fact the XC Fairmont headlights were part of the Concorde nose kit, desiged by a Ford stylist.

the “hero car” was a black xb gt coupe in the first movie, and if you look closely you can actually see the blackouts on the bonnet from when it was standard, the later cars may have been xc’s

i always drive along the back roads of Anakie where parts of the movie was made. There was a few scenes made in geelong and i bet it be good to see mad max driving along the new ring road now that runs through that area in his coupe. Max in his interceptor on the new ring road now that be awsome. They should redo the scene with the toe cutter and mad max in pursuit with his interceptor blowing those tacky holdens of the road. Fords live on for ever just ask max and GM holdens die and go bankrupt just ask the toenail cutter. hahahaahah

Actually I’m pretty sure the donor car for the original interceptor was an 2 door XC Fairmont GXL.
