STAR CARS- Mad Max Machines @ Wasteland Weekend (Ep. 13)

[@aquaticvisions10]

I want to thank you guys for taking the time to interview and film us and the Sea Skag. I feel all fluffy inside!

[@christophervincent77]

Great video. There's a lot of Dauntless crew in there too which makes me happy. I saw myself, the covered wagon, Mutt, and of course Bill as a car judge, founders award presenter, and cranking mad dirt spins in the black Mustang. Well done to all the winners this year and thank you Star Cars for being there to capture the fun!

[@RetroCarsForever]

Our pleasure!

[@wce05308]

please check the market value of a xb falcon before ripping this guy. try getting a decent standard falcon for less than ten grand. considering he lives in America and it's an Aussie car he's probably spent a fortune importing parts. plus he loves it so that's all that matters.

[@willybshreddn3794]

Exactly. If I had a good enough job, id easily sink years and untold Amoi ts of money into an XB Falcon to have me a Pursuit Special. I've freamt of that car ever since I can remember due to growing up with Mad Max.

[@Sheehy223]

I'm surprised I didn't see any movie replicas other than the falcon. There are sooooo many cool cars in mad max 2

[@RetroCarsForever]

Some years there are several, some years only one (like in this video). Look out for the Cobra Truck in Road Warrior next year!

[@Sheehy223]

Brad Hansen I think out of all the baddie cars they did the best job on that ford. A few of the body panels got kinda fucked up, but it survived

[@Sodiumreactor]

The movie was shot in Aussie land. Its not easy getting them all the way here to the USA. Pretty expensive.

[@Mechknight73]

Brad Hansen There's a lot of vehicles from Mad Max II that replicas could be made from. The "turbo Landau" from the opening chase ( as a stocker, it's an LTD (top of the line luxury Australian Falcon) in a coupe body. The various Chargers, Humungous' open wheeler truck. There is an old International truck in the Marauders camp being worked on (90% sure there's an American equivalent) and two F-100s. One is the cut down '73 model, the other is a complete tow truck. Personally, I'm waiting to see if anyone is crazy enough to make a replica of the Mack truck

[@arbhall7572]

most of those vehicles are NOT street legal. Its hard to get something like that imported.

[@gist4326]

1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe Max Max Car is...beyond doubt the most badass vehicle ever.

[@captinweestain526]

Aussie films back in the day were awesome!

[@RoadsAndRides]

Great video. We were able to spend some time with the guys behind Wasteland Weekend and they are awesome people! Didn't take themselves too seriously and had loads of fun!

[@RetroCarsForever]

Agreed. We were the filmmaking crew, and everyone was simply awesome to film.

[@fifthrider]

Hands down my favorite movie car ever. So cool that you had such a good MFP Interceptor Pursuit Special to showcase. Also nice that you took the time to cover some of the other vehicles there since there's so many awesome rides with a lot of work and love put into them.

[@Mechknight73]

The best Interceptor replica I've ever seen is local to me. On the outskirts of Perth, Western Australia is a motor museum in a place called Whiteman Park. A bloke by the name of Gordon Hayes is legendary for building automotive replicas, and he built a Pursuit Special coupe. It would have been fun to be one of the team of mechanics that put the cars together from all three movies, and Fury Road. To find an XB Falcon sedan isn't so hard, but there were less than 10,000 XB coupes made. One of Eric Bana's movies, Love the Beast is a documentary about his XB. Even completely stock, they can cut it with Mustangs just for looking cool.

[@DangerAngelous]

All of these guys are gonna be pumped for Mad Max 2015

[@evilcowboy]

79 Camaro Question: "What was the hardest part about creating this car?" Answer: "Ruining it" lmfao

[@sickistartform1]

As soon as I can afford to get an Interceptor, I'M THERE !!! Love the concept !!!

[@BillCompo]

The deal was I wouldn't kill ya.., I think you got a bargain eh?

[@vector006]

Who knew 2021 would be the start of the apocalypse, I need to start taking notes and start building a vehicle

[@scanspeak00]

Great job everyone!

[@RetroAdzz]

That pick up truck looked 10 times better than the camero

[@rizkiaputri3543]

yeah so better

[@BazookaJRambo]

Wow, I never knew that convention existed! So many awesome cars! :)

[@RetroCarsForever]

Totally didn't get that reference until now...Thanks for the tip!

[@Retrocidal]

Wow never herd of.this man people really get into it and I love red hair

[@Dreadhead30001]

Awesome Falcon

[@d4rkhound388]

British electrics.... On an old land rover... woman you mad?

[@koldkase3297]

good job cousin -Everett

[@M3iscool]

I'm so going to this one day.

[@Athena007]

Your guy's reaction at @8:12 makes me feel all fluffy.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

My Facebook friend Liam Fountain played Max in the 2011 fan film Mad Max: Renegade.

[@carbonfiber492]

100k in so a standard resto on a falcon

[@arcticman117]

i love how the falcon interceptor looks with that awsome front end i wish i had the money to import one D:

[@tmseh]

WHY am I just learning about this?!

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

So there's an OilPunk genre as well? I thought it was called DieselPunk, but maybe that refers to idealized early/mid 20th Century mecha?

[@accidental_relevance]

Hood looks like a 71-73 Mustang, the rest looks more like the Torino. I believe the 351 Cleveland engine were offered in Australia for several years after they were discontinued here in the states.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

"Can't go to In N Out burgers by yourself." Hilarious.

[@jessebrown1400]

is crystal method playing while their showing the sea scag?, i cant find that song in their playlists.

[@kumahachi8145]

extraordinario los vehiculos Mad Max. 👏👏👍👍todos estan bonitos

[@smokeyfgg]

I work in a Garage and a build like to convert a standard Falcon would only cost about 5000 maximum. Someone seen this guy coming and made a fortune of him.

[@laguna_tuna1579]

nope. alot of the parts aren't available so he must've had somebody make it for him, that and the import are the most expensive

[@sparrowlt]

+smokeyfgg concorde nose, side exhausts, weiand blower (fake with electric motor if you want to keep movie acurate) a body kit that doesnt exist anymore.. all the interior if you want to be really acurate .. i say its a lot of money.. way over 5000

[@smokeyfgg]

sparrowlt It'll be built up with isopon... You can get like a 3 litre tin of isopon for like 5$. i would say about 30 litres you would need to sort that job. The parts that dont exsist anymore are the easiest part. The Blower maybe would skin him a few hundred like. But i still say this guy was taken for a ride like.

[@smokeyfgg]

sparrowlt Then the lacker and paint. which is not very much. About 300 for decent job. It still sits pretty low in the build cost.

[@wce05308]

You wouldn't even get a standard xb falcon for $5000 these days fella.

[@lelomiliken7598]

My favorite movie still, number one.😎

[@gustavefrankfurter6462]

I think I can get away with modding a Gran Toreno to build an Interceptor. Since I'm in the U.S., it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than importing a car from Australia, and the parts are plentiful.

[@josjunkdrawer89]

yeah but i dont know why no one is asking what happens to the cars after wasteland do they keep them or scrap them???

[@TuffBurnOutTeam]

its. a. Aussie. film. dudes

[@Sheehy223]

...And that means they're not allowed to enjoy it?

[@mickle2me]

yeah, i feel like there going abit overboard. But thats what americas are good at i guess

[@raptorjesus3894]

MaxTheKanuck No one said they weren't allowed to enjoy it, the issue is that they are treating it like it is an American movie and "Patriotism, if it isn't American I won't drive it!". Shit, if I had to pick a car to survive the Apocalypse I would choose something like a crew-cab lifted Hilux, which is most certainly, not American, not eve Australian.

[@Sheehy223]

Raptor Jesus They're all driving late 70's (with a few exceptions) American cars because in Mad Max lore, that's when vehicle production stopped due to the collapse of the world economy, and all through the 70's, the vast majority of the cars in every country were built domestically, so that's also going to be a majority of what can be found to build into a survival vehicle.

[@haloismylife123]

Wow this whole thread, heaven FORBID a fanbase of any kind meets together the way they want to.

[@igkgigoh]

Helge Thomsen... Stay in that desert!

[@fernandoquiggles3946]

mad max's car is a 1973 ford falcon xb not 1974

[@Elmom_]

True!

[@AF-qc5vo]

it could be a 74 due to the fact that the falcon xb was from 73-76

[@PiliaeAl]

1:50....BAHAHHA...Dude you rock!

[@RegularCars]

90's Mazda Miata at 0:30!

[@ulasoznc]

holy shit its very strange to find you here! 4 years....

[@richardshytles3597]

right lol

[@turbulentzee]

wow, the movie was not all about clowns shooting spears one at another, swords and cars with multiple turrets and MG's jeesus. The movie was much more than that.. but what can you expect from some people...

[@danielwilliamson6180]

I'm a Mad Max fan.

[@johnferreras5828]

I'm gonna have this someday

[@jcoptimus]

If the Interceptor isn't in Fury Road, I won't be happy.

[@ACTIVEGAMER298]

the nerf Vulcan in the car at the beginning

[@RetroCarsForever]

No question, I'd go with the limo when the nukes fall.

[@jonathanpinckney9227]

What was the end credits song?

[@AussieOutlaw]

ELUSIVE ? There would be around 30 Replicas in the States alone

[@HIR0mtz]

are thesecevents still active?

[@lomasck]

You need Pulse Jets From Bob Maddox for these Cars.

[@artsnjunk]

Michael Hughes looks like a blonde and older Roop if he were to appear in thunder dome haha awesome car though. i think ill be participating in this in the near future.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

Ha, the machine guns on the limo is the nerf Vulcan

[@bruceleeds7988]

4:39 whats the name of that song?

[@dowyacht]

Car wins every time!

[@redinterceptor8355]

It must be a nightmare getting their cars registered.

[@cb7s4life]

THIS EXISTS?!?! AWESOME!

[@23chopperrob]

so you are telling me you have an electronically controlled blower clutch that actually works and is making a whooping 380HP.....lol ..hahahaha

[@sonkesander7960]

the monstr carlo has gained such popularity that it should get featured i the next mad max movie... and it would be a moneysaver too...

[@tommyvasquez7949]

I USE TO PLAY ON THE ORIGNAL MAD MAX 2 CARS THE PURPLE UTE THE BUGGIES AND THE ORIGNAL INTERCEPTOR IT WAS LOCKED IN A OLD SHED NEAR SILVERTON NSW, I SPUN OUT WHEN I PICKED UP A UNIQE CARS MAGAZINE ALMOST 15 YEARS LATER AND THE STORY WAS IN THERE I EVEN REMEMBER LEAVING THE BOOMERANG ON THE SEAT ON THE PASSANGER DOOR WHICH WAS LEFT OPEN :)

[@DisasterOnline]

There's one car the definately deserves more recognition: Eleanor from the 1974 original "Gone In 60 Seconds"

[@Sheehy223]

The car in the original gone in 60 seconds wasn't called elanor. It was just a regular GT500. Now, the mustang from the remake, that is called Eleanor

[@DisasterOnline]

Brendan Sheehy Actually the car in the original movie was a 1973 yellow Ford Mustang Mach I.

[@Mrtrainlover679]

MaxTheKanuck The original was called Eleanor, and was just a yellow 71 Mustang dressed up as a 73

[@jayd3775]

Bust a deal, face the wheel!!! Where does Wasteland Weekend take place?

[@Athena007]

It's about 2 hours outside of Los Angeles and happening this weekend! Google the event and you'll find their site and info. It's a great time, I'm hoping to make it again next year.

[@nickholt3812]

the original last of the v8 interceptor was a 1973 not a 1974

[@RetroCarsForever]

It's the best car IT'S THE BEST IT'S THE BEST

[@kdobbinhale]

Toecutter says you all lose.hand over your guzaline.

[@AmaticXLII]

Is this still a thing

[@ihategoogleplus3790]

this is the sorriest group of people i've ever seen and i've been to comic con

[@400ss]

Steelies, cragar soft 8s and d-rings, and Vector SEs would fit on any car here.

[@1968CudaGuy]

Is it worth it? Fuckin' A, HELL YES!!

[@Nix11999]

that's totally bad ass though haha :DD

[@craigvoclain6120]

Onlything wrong with the interceptor is that max's car was an automatic

[@Drinapropriatetouch]

Oil punk? is that a new thing?

[@xerodelacroix5552]

Dumps a hundred grand into an Interceptor replica, uses wrong year.

[@brianmosely1719]

[@Demonizar]

So why not a tank

[@switchbladeslaydn6468]

8:05 der gute Helge Thomsen! :D

[@MrBlewvane]

He dropped $100 000 building the replica Interceptor? Holly crap someone saw him comming, but he's happy with it so i guess not a single fuck is given.

[@sparrowlt]

+MrBlewvane i think he says the car is worth 100000 now.. not that he spent that

[@MrBlewvane]

+sparrowlt Watch it again, that's not what he said.

[@dowyacht]

You can go to in and out burger buy yourself if... you drive backwards. Dudes so Mad Max.

[@PiliaeAl]

bahahahha!

[@194_SS]

[@glenarledge1825]

[@markissboi3583]

[@foxkidgaming7128]

And yes I have a dodge nitro SUV

[@RoyanGreenwood23]

thats a holden mate

[@Brutus_Mann]

Royann Greenwood actually it's a ford

[@matthewcaughey5273]

Guess a second hand ford crown Vic police car with a push bar and some home brew armour would fit right in now excuse me while I go to find a crown Vic or a second hand police car

[@RetroCarsForever]

Totally true! I was the director of this shoot, and our crew car is exactly that (sans armor, all black). It fit right in even in an "unroughed" state. The last of the V8 Interceptors!

[@matthewcaughey5273]

Thanks for the kick in the right direction I just have doubts about a 150+ K CVPI making it 2300 miles without at least a transmission rebuild so I would need to do some work

[@falloutpropguy]

1200 those where the days hahah its like 4500/5000 now

[@THD-hk9ld]

OMG!!!

[@mileslange5797]

[@Diddy_Doodat]

[@thattheta]

see this isnt right (also my first time seing this) mad max was in australia and I have been to the exact place where they filmed the 2nd one and they should be doing that gathering there or close by. so it kinda triggers me to see this
