Hot Wheels '73 Ford Falcon XB (268) Mad Max V8 Interceptor

#samedwheels #MadMax #RoadWarrior #FuryRoad #FordFalconXB

On the bench today is a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels ’73 Ford Falcon XB. Designed by Rob Matthes, it debuted in the All Stars / 2010 HW Premiere. Production began in 2010 and continues up to now.

The '73 Ford Falcon XB is a Sports coupe produced by Ford's Australian division starting in late 1973. The XB Falcon is considered to be one of Australia's most prominent classic cars and was the flagship car in the Mad Max film series from the late 1970s and the 1980s. Exactly 949 GT 351 Coupe versions rolled off the assembly lines between September and December of 1973, making the XB GT coupe exceedingly rare.

In Mad Max, the Main Force Patrol car pool mechanics introduce Max Rockatansky to the car. According to one of the mechanics, the Interceptor has a dual overhead cam engine, and thanks to the blower, makes 600 horsepower at the wheels.

In Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, three years after the events of the first movie, Max is still using the V8 Interceptor as his primary vehicle. The back window has been taken out and large gas tanks and a spare tire are put there. The car gets totalled by Humungus’ gang, who smash the windshield in a high speed pursuit, causing Max to lose control and crash the Interceptor.

In 2015’s Fury Road, we see it one more time, in the opening scene, for exactly 1:24 seconds before the War Boys hit it with a thunderstick and finish it off.

If there are parts that can be swallowed, those cars are given as gifts to adult collectors that are fellow enthusiasts.
