Th Pursuit special. The car that The night rider stole in Mad Max

[@gutz1981]

Max's car was ALSO a Pursuit special. Its funny cause it was mentioned on the police radio as a Pursuit Special after Max stole it. Its mentioned in the original press kit for the first and second movie as being a Pursuit Special. But one random character in part 2 calls it a Interceptor once and that is all anyone calls it now.

@@john-1964 you mean the LE Coupe. The LE was never badged as a Monaro. I had a HQ Monaro, but would have gladly traded it for a LE coupe. Also they were released during the HX series, so not sure if they were still considered a HJ or a HX. Probably HJ since they were left over bodies from the HJ Monaro run.

[@Mechknight73]

This car is a replica from the first chase in the first Mad Max movie. The details are spot on. There was another one in the garage in the movie, but it had lights on the roof. What's interesting to note is that from what I can see, it's a '71/72 model. Besides the compliance plates (In Australia, they have two plates attached to somewhere on the body. With these it was on the firewall. One lists the specs of the car, as factory codes. The other lists the Australian design rules it complies with, as well as the month/year it was built) there are only two other ways to tell the difference between the early (1971-72) and late (1973-74) HQ Series Holden. One is the speedometer is in miles an hour in the early build, and the front flashers and park light are combined behind the one lens. A design rule change for January 1st, 1973 required the speedometer to be in kilometres per hour, and the front flashers to have orange lenses. They also had to be separate from the park lights

[@beano1eye]

A black 'Pursuit Special' Holden Monaro, stolen by the Nightrider, is one of the first vehicles to appear in the film. It manages to evade MFP recapture efforts until the arrival of Max Rockatansky in the pursuit. While attempting to outrun Max, the Nightrider does not react in time to avoid wreckage on the road and crashes at high speeds, killing himself and his girlfriend, as well as destroying the Monaro.

[@davidmathersonparanormal522]

Folks, The rollover chassis of the 1973 GMH Monaro was identical to the rollover chassis of the GM Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am, which was featured in the Smoky And The Bandit movies. In the early 1980''s there was a New Zealand company which would build a replica Smoky And The Banded Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am movie car using a donated GMH Holden Monaro rollover chassis. The owner of the company let me drive one of these amazing replica Smoky And The Banded Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am movie cars, and it had an identical engine, manual transmission and interior using a fiberglass body to the original movie car. The owner of the company used to be the detailer for the original George Barris Batmobile in the USA.🤠

The Original HQ MFP Monaro used in Mad Max was Originally a Standard 6Cyl HQ Monaro Owned By GM-Holden Salmon street, Port Melbourne. Was owned by the Maker of the Car. Was originally Gold and a 202 6Cyl Red Motor with Factory 4 Speed when GMH owned it then later on it ended up to be the MFP Monaro for Mad Max. Ironic that GM-Holden was the First Owner on the Most Famous HQ Monaro of all time.

@@rhettcorbett3346 I didn't say it was an El Camino... Level Ride Air Suspension said he has an El Camino "version" of that car. The same way the HQ Holden came in a station wagon, sedan, statesman, ute and panel van versions of the HQ. They were all still versions of a HQ Holden. The HQ Holden ute was exported as an El Camino to South Africa with some cosmetic changes so it was also a version of it (unless it is the US model which is different to the Australian export model). It still shared a lot of common components. Look at the El Camino interior of that version and it still looks like any other HQ.
