they cut out part of the tanks to make it fit over the panel - other wise they would probably have cut the centre piece out as well and the tanks would not fit in anyway. the tanks are much thicker through the middle and therefore would not have fitted through the gap

If you say you'd get anything other than the GT, your lying.

I grew up in the mad max era. While I would love to own a shiny new GT, if I had the choice between the 2, the Mad Max Replica wins everytime. Maybe not the one that des listed here as it seems fairly rough, but one which is as close to the car from the movie. It's a piece of Australian history There are many GT's out there on the road. You can get one any day of the week. Just look at car sales. The market is flooded with them. But a quality MM replica doesn't come by everyday. You and others may think differently, but there are actually people out who don't see the the B series GT's in the same way as most do.

The only thing Mad Max about that XC is the fake blower and the dirt, not a very good attempt.

I'm ready to be flamed but...
A mad max mock up is waste of a coupe. I wouldn't salivate over the 'batmobile' or herbie or postman pat's red van(all more successful and believeable shows than Mad Mel). I can understand how replicas of stuff like the green mustang 390 from Bullitt look good and have an appeal (factory look, nice colour, big block) but mad max is right up there with 'Star Wars' Maybe someone can sell me an xa-xc coupe and I can make Han Solo's Millenium Falcon? paint it Matt Grey, stick a figreglass wookie in the passenger seat, have a fake warp drive (or whateve the hell it is called) poking out the side/roof/bonnet. Or I could do it matt black, stick a fake supercharger and fake tanks and fake stuff everywhere, completely ruin the lines and demonstrate my nerdiness and fanaticism re 30 year old Aussie films. It ruins the lines, it ruins the look, It makes the owners look like post-apocolyptic trekkies (we love the film so much we dress up like characters from it. Oh Look, I dress up my car aswell!) Oh. It is late. I might just be crankier than normal. Flame away. I'll probably be repenent in the morning |

Sorry, can't flame.
First thing I'd do to any replica is fill the holes so I had a decent chassis and body to play with. Millenium Falcon though............. Nah, wouldn't work, I'd never be happy with the wookie hair on the seats. |

I'd be more than happy with the XB of Roop and Charlie.
 Here is a vid from The Reunion last year at little river. Click on pic to play video.  And here is the Original Night Rider. He is still a fuel injected suicide machine. Click on pic to play video.  Adam.

100% agree. If it's not the actual car from the movie then restore or mod it but another Mad Max clone does nothing for me. I'll see you in the flame proof bunker ehast13 :

Hey, some good responses to my "Know which I would prefer....", and I agree with most of them. I would hate to have to make a decision between both of these cars if they were both in really good nick (ok, I'd take both:-). The car at Silverton is probably not a great example, but it IS an icon. Mad Max was filmed there (about 20k? west of Broken Hill) and this car was built shortly after, it has been resident there a long long time and IS a tourist attraction - and that whole area is a great place to visit.

Yeah, see your point....I guess I just had some bad luck with my 2...always having to cut out rust before rego insepction every year, door handles breaking, A/C often not working and beasts of things to park, I just got jack of it I guess...was happy as a pig in S%$t when I got my XD in 1985 with 30,000 kms on it , and that was moving from a 351 to a 4.1 6 cyl...Then fast forward over 20 years and now back in a V8. Yep certainly gotten older....ha ha....I was 19 when i got my 8 year old coupe in 1981 and 21 when I got the 1977 GXL in 1983...Admittedly they were cheap back then...the coupe cost 5k and the GXL 8k
