thats a 1973 ford falcon xb, I thought they only made those in aussie? That super charger could be fake because in the movie it was. 351CI, 300hp, 9 inch diff, 4 speed the XC falcon was made from 76 to 79.

The body kit is called a "Monza" kit or something of that sort. The supercharger is a fake, an electric motor turns the gear...

A Falcon you say? Cool, I always thought it was a Mustang with a bunch of crap stuck to it, making it hard to tell.

BTW, a new MadMax movie is coming out.

I think so, but I haven't heard much about it. I just know that they are making a new MadMax movie and a new Indiana Jones movie.

my history may be a little rusty, but wasn't the Mustang a sporty version of the Falcon? I'm pretty sure that's the ticket, unless I'm thinking of a different car.

I saw that car in person just last summer. I saw it turn into the parking lot and immediately thought of the Mad Max car. The guy pulled up and we chatted for a few minutes. Supposedly, it's the real deal. He flipped the switch to turn the "blower" on and off. It's just an electric gear drive turning a fake pulley system.

The thing looks crazy! It looked similar to a Ford Torino. It was in very good shape and everything was Black. The guy got on it as he drove off, but it didn't seem to have much *****. Just for show I guess. Pretty cool IMO.
