1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Pursuit Special Interceptor from "Mad Max" up for Grabs
If you’re seriously into movie memorabilia, this is perhaps one of the most coveted pieces of movie history: the “last of the V8 Interceptors,” aka the Interceptor, aka Black Pursuit from the first two Mad Max movies starring Mel Gibson.
Although a version of the Black Pursuit also appeared briefly in the most recent Mad Max: Fury Road, it wasn’t the original 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT that had been modified to fit the post-apocalyptic universe and then shown in great detail in the first 2 installments. That car was at the Orlando Auto Museum in Florida, U.S.
The museum is now unloading it, along with several other items. Which Car notes that the museum in changing locations, but that doesn’t really explain the need to sell the most famous Australian movie car.
For whatever reason, the XB coupe is about to change hands. The listing over at the museum says information on price is upon request, but the same media outlet believes it could very well be in the vicinity of $5 million, given Steve McQueen’s Ford Mustang used in Bullitt sold for a comparable amount just last month.
