*ACE Model Cars *New Release* 1:43 Mad Max MFP Interceptor XB Ford Falcon Movie

Description: ******New Release from ACE Model Cars****** Technical Specs When we first meet Max Rockatansky in the classic film Mad Max he is driving a Ford Falcon XB Sedan yellow Interceptor. By the end of the film, he is driving a blacked-out Falcon XB known as the "Last of the V8 Interceptors." Ford Falcon XB 351 Sedan 1974, a former Victorian Police car in real life was bought by Byron Kennedy and George Miller to become Max Rockatansky's standard issue MFP Interceptor. After the purchase it was handed over to Ray Beckerley of Graf-X to undergo modification along with other vehicles for the movie.Movie ModificationsGiven that it was a budget movie, the car was only quickly masked-up and repainted from its original white on the outside only. In several shots you can still see the white paint; door jams, under the bonnet etc...The vehicle had the most fiberglass work installed out of all three standard issue MFP vehicles. All fibreglass parts were purchased from Errol Platt's workshop, EWP Fibreglass.The bonnet scoop is an L88 Corvette scoop which has had a NACA-style intake cut into the front. The scoop is obviously for show being mounted on top of the bonnet without sufficient airflow for the engine. The front spoiler was a custom deep spoiler design which was also used on the Big Bopper, March Hare and The Nightrider's Monaro. The wheel flares resemble Torana SLR5000 flares but were custom made items and the roof spoiler is the same as the V* Interceptor. The roof spoiler was a multi-fit design made originally for the sedan roof line. The rear deep dish rims were the same as used on the Interceptor (made by Martin Mack). Roof lights were made by a US company called "Petersons." The roof console was a custom item. Additionally, the vehicle carries MFP badges and a variety of Max's personal items inside, including a flute and a helmet.The right front fender has the names of the vehicle's crew, "M. Rockatansky" and "The Dark One" can be seen. However, "The Dark One" character is not present in the movie as he or she was cut between the scripting stage and the production.Appearance On-ScreenThe vehicle is often used in the movie, the first time driven by Max to chase the Nightrider. Max continues to use the vehicle to arrive at the wreckage of the Chevrolet Bel Air to retrieve the woman and find Johnny the Boy at the scene.Appearance Off-ScreenMax's Yellow Interceptor was one of the very few vehicles that were not damaged during filming. The vehicle was later sold off and until this day it is undetermined if the vehicle still exists or who is in its possession. This model has been accurately depicted by ACE Model Cars and would be a worthy addition to any Muscle-Car themed collection or Movie-Car themed collection.
