This car made it the first appearance in the movie Mad Max (1979). The vehicle also makes an appearance in Mad Max: Fury Road. A particular car in the picture below is the one from the movie Mad Max: Fury Road directed by George Miller. Later in the movie, the car gets lifted by Immortal Joe's (Villain) followers. That's when they heavily modify it by adding another supercharger with a screaming skull on it. And the rear suspension is lifted. Also, rear fender walls are enlarged to fit in new 37 inches off-road tires. (Which can handle the terrains.) The body has been bashed back into shape after being rolled. The interior of the car is now mostly sheet metal with a basic instrument panel. The back of the car is a weapon arsenal which includes land mines made of gas tanks and a badass looking dart gun.

The original Ford Falcon XB was produced by Ford Australia in between 73' to 76'. Ford customers had four engine options with manual and auto transmissions. Which are

200ci 6-cyl (3.3L)
250ci 6-cyl (4.1L)
302ci V8 (4.9L)
351ci V8 (5.8L)

Who would buy a V6 when there's a V8 available though? 😹 (Rhetorical question)

Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe 1973 V8 Interceptor
