I told you guys that I saw one of those cars!!!
I just got to talk to the owner this afternoon, and he had no problem with me taking photos of his cars!
Here are three photos of his Interceptor:
EDITED TO ADD: He keeps a Manakin(sp?) of Mad Max (in leather jacket & all) in the driver's seat. Usually just for Car Shows though...
And he also has a great beautiful Torino like in Starsky & Hutch!
He also is finishing up the restoration of this Road Runner:
IIRC, He said that he also managed to get his hands on the last remaining BLACK Mad Max car (with the large fuel tanks), and is in the process of restoring that.
I saw this guy flying down Front Ave that one day I first posted in this thread, and then later found out where he keeps his cars, etc...
The first pic above is actually a photo of this same car, but that's one of the shops he works in to restore some of these cars...
The "Mad Max" car seen here is also George's. It is professed as originating from the movie, "Mad Max." As the story goes, it was given to a cameraman as payment because the movie was so low budget. It was sold at an auction with a Crocodile Dundee car and a car owned by Elvis Presley. A collector bought all three cars, and eventually the "Mad Max" car was sold to a speedway in Australia for race events. George bought it from Grant Hodgson in Perth, Australia in 1999.
