Mad Max & The Blues Brothers Movie Cars | Bluesmobile | Interceptor Last of the V8s | My Classic Car

- On this episode of My Classic Car, Dennis makes his way to Lewisville, TX to check out two of the most iconic movie cars ever made; The Blues Brother's "Bluesmobile" cop car and Mad Max's Interceptor "Last of the V8s" movie cars. And both with all of the trimmings possible, down to the last detail. In the movies they we're road rough, and these reflect it. I mean there are movie cars, and then there are "movie cars that have the oily fingerprint where a stage hand was working on it and they left it" movie cars (look for the fingerprints next to the star). They have the correct dirt on the sides!
Starting off with the Bluesmobile, this started truly as a '74 Dodge Moncao and was turned into the unseeming superhero capable of impossible feats. Now with the correct "cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks", it features not just the correct look, but done in the correct way. Not a graphic of a weathered and removed police star on the side, but a weathered and then removed star. The "to serve and protect" not just chipping away, but chipping away in the same spots it was in the movies. Frame by frame meticulously copied. The interior just as it was, down to the correct Frito's and crushed can on the dash, "this time" glued down as opposed to tossed loosely about like the movie, and sliding out the open window. And it still runs like a dream.
Unless your dream is to be the Road Warrior, and let's face it most of us did, then you want to drive the V8 Interceptor. Starting as a '74 Australian Ford Falcon XB, the slightly modified "down under" version of a Mustang, and blessed by Emil Minty (The Feral Kid) himself, this reproduction is so authentic it was used in a documentary reunion event "Back to the Max" (thus meeting Emil). The bomb (defused), the column light, the tanks, the incorrect tubing on the blower...all there. The ear busting zoomies by the back wheel, Dinky-Di Dog Food, it has to be seen to be believed. And if it's a clear Saturday in Lewisville Texas, you just might. It's meant to be driven, and drive it he does.

Nothing like watching beautiful big engine classics going down the road........at 25mph : /
Hence why some scenes in Mad Max were in fast forward..
For the record those cars are cooler than any movie car prop or replica some rich dude would buy because this dude made it himself with love and did every little detail. Wow very impressive! Hope he has someone to share this with.
Thank you, kind sir!
He didn't want to know about the HQ Monaro from the first film pity, I would've liked to have heard a bit more on the story of that car too and him getting both car's to the States from Oz.
+Aussie Aus Deutschland - Nobody had built the Monaro since the first film, so I made a duplicate. My friend in Oz, coincidentally, was doing the same, so now there are two. I have friends who move cars between our two countries. When the Interceptor came up for sale, I had them check it out, verify it, and ship it. About a year later I had them search out an HQ Monaro. They found me this drag car. Under the paint it was heavily bondo'd. That's all fixed. Had the scoops custom made.
I've always liked the yellow MFP sedan from the first film. ruclips.net/video/7HYl5Sk8Q9Y/видео.html
Gees my brother had a silver 74 LS edition monaro,i think he got it for $900 and sold it for the same
Some people just have no idea.
Re: Mad Max car, "This car is angry, it wants to hurt you!". LoL, love it, perfect!
My dad's 1974 Plymouth fury III had those same front seats put in seeing my dad ordered his custom to spec. I love these era car design. Love the blues mobile. The mad Max car is great too.
I’m really jealous on this episode! I’ve always had a love and fascination for
Mad Max’s V-8 Interceptor! What a super cool car! It just screams post World War 3 Apocalyptic ride! The second film; The Road Warrior truly was a fitting title when you consider what kind of vehicle Mad Max was driving! As a child I had the toy car but as adult I would absolutely love to get my hands on one of these! It’s pretty remarkable that he was able to purchase one of the hero cars used for promotional purposes that came from The Land Down Under! This has been a really fun video and I really appreciate you sharing these wonderful cars especially Mad Max’s V-8 Interceptor! I look forward to seeing the next video! Cheers!
for me it is not so much jealousy, but rather a broad, pleased smile that someone is taking care of this piece. It is kinda sad that movies like that aren't being made anymore. These days it all feels mostly bland and recycled countless times...
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 Add to that all the 'woke' schit that's being jammed down everybody's throats. I don't watch movies anymore for this reason. I only watch old movies from before all this crap started.
@@crosbonit Me neither. I found myself reading a lot more pre-2000s books instead.
Beautiful machines. 2 of my favorite movies and movie cars.
Through the Road Warrior Mack and the original Eleanor Mach 1, and that's my movie car dream garage.
Very accurate, but I did see a few things; the Bluesmobile is missing searchlight, and the Interceptor didn't have a passenger seat (there was a seat frame bolted to the door with a dog bed on it). Also, here the XB has a beautiful gloss finish, but in Road Warrior the car was dusty and rusty.
Im just geeking out. Great job
Actually Eleanor was just a fastback, as opposed to the mach 1
Maybe he should have waited until after he dyed the interior to glue down the butts and beer cans?
The front is known as a 'MONZA' front was a fad for some people in late 70's~early 80's that cost around $800 at the time were only available for HQ holdens / XA-B-C falcons & valiant chargers of the time a small plastic company produced them in Melbourne but I forget the name of it,
The Blues Brothers car need the spotlight put on the drivers side
True, Travis. I had the mount made for the '74 Dodge by the original company (turns out they keep all their molds) and the right light, but ran out of time before the TV show. The car was bought for a collection in Australia, so I sent those components with the car.
351Cleavlend had one in my 1970 Couger with a amx double drop transmission! So much fun
Thanks Dennis. For a moment, I thought the mad Max owner was going to say No in front of the camera and would not let you drive this car.👍
Awesome! There is one thing wrong with the Interceptor however, it doesn't have the jump seat for his dog! I was hoping they were going to do a bit on Gooses KZ which was parked in the background. I want that bike.
I don't keep the dog seat mounted, because then it's a single-seater - it goes in place of the passenger seat. I wish there was time for them to have done something on both my Goose bike and the Night Rider car, but SO much was cut for time. And the Goose bike is for sale. :)
PatrolmanDark Is that the same Goose bike that sold a couple years back for 12k? You should make a video of that bike.
I think this is a different bike. I'd like to, but I've had the bike sitting for a few years. Ready to either have the carbs cleaned or just sell it.
PatrolmanDark So when are you getting around to building a replica of Max's Interceptor sedan lol. I know America is nuts about coupes, but many classic Australian muscle cars are sedans. The XB sedan is a lot easier to do, all weather, and potentially more fun. You have however built one of the best Interceptor replicas I've seen yet.
+PatrolmanDark What did you use to make the Tanks in the back?
the guys also has the nightrider monaro wow!!!.... well done
A holden in America
poor holden must feel really lonely

Ok, Now I have to watch Road Warrior
Is he wearing a Main Force Patrol tee shirt?
Yes he is...
This car is actually very accurate to the car as seen in the second movie (Mad Max 2 AKA The Road Warrior) In the first movie the exhaust tips were flared but changed for the sequel. The blower is completely different in both films except for the 6-71 housing. I know this particular car very well (and the owner too) and have had the honor of driving it
wow . 2 great movie cars. I especially love the mad max car. it must have been hard to get as they are extremely sort after here in Oz. not too many left nowadays.
The Blues Mobile is interesting, because its value in 1985 (a trashed old police cruiser) would sell for about $50.
Hey Dennis It's 106 miles to Chicago from The Palace Hotel Ballroom, but no sunglasses. Dude. Actually I loved both movies, they're in my DVD collection, and this episode. And the touch of gluing everything down in Bluesmobile was practical and cool.
I know this is Texas, but that neighborhood really looks like the setting of Freaks and Geeks tv series, period 1980. That show was set in fictional Chippewa Michigan and filmed in the LA area.
Really swell guy. Thanks for your dedication! I love these movies too.
I worked on Mad Max II and Mad Max III. The car used for Mad Max and Mad Max II was the same car only with the interior stripped out and then painted in a matt black. After shooting MMII it was sold. I could have bought it for $850. Whilst on set the vehicle was always referred to as "The Black on Black". The original car is a Ford XB Falcon GT with a 351 c.i. engine, but for MMII they also built a second car, ( the one that was rolled over and crashed in the film). It was a Ford XB Falcon GS with a 302 c.i. engine.
Awesome cars! But he's missing the 73 T-Bird from the movie The Crow lol
Would have liked some engine specs on the Monaco as well as a peek under the hood. Even if it wasn't the 440. Also, some more details regarding the faux blower set up on the interceptor and a peek at the Night Rider.
Phenomenal attention to detail.
It would have been nice to see a wheel hop power stop with the Interceptor and it really would have been nice to see the Bluesmobile do a back flip and maybe break a few cops watches.
I do the wheel-hop stop in this video: ruclips.net/video/Z-eXiyTvRsA/видео.html Man, I had to keep the Bluesmobile chained down or it'd be flipping all over the driveway. All the watches in my house did spontaneously break when I finished the car. That's how I knew the paint was right
Remember a few guys in the area while I was in high school got their cars by going the Mt Prospect police auctions and getting crapped out cop cars.
I tend to prefer the more street version of the V8 Interceptor from Mad Max and we had a guy in the area had one I'd see from time to time.
Apparently the guy enjoyed it but around the time gas hit 4+ bucks a gallon he sold it to the Volo Auto Museum.
That's the newest original version of mad max car in the second mad max movie is the original Holden kingswood cars in Australia here Dennis mate cheers from Cameron in Victoria Australia here
2 of the best Aussie made cars there
Sat he front nose cone was actually for a van! It's called a Windjammer front, and many of the motorbikes used in the original movie were actually owned by stuntmen and director.
Dennis had the same impression I had when I first saw the movie. I had no idea, at the time, that there was an Australian Ford Falcon muscle car. I thought the movie makers had taken a US Torino and attached Mustang front fenders and hood. I agree that it also resembles a Matador fastback coupe.
It is closest to the 1971 Torino Sportsroof. Put next to one, it's clear the Falcon (AU) and Torino (US) designers were looking at each other's work.
Forgot to mention the Maverick taillights, at least they were on a stock one. It's like the Mustang designers, did the front, Maverick in the rear, until they met the Torino designers in the middle.
Ok the mad max car was a bit off no#1 the tailpipes weren`t flaired. no#2 the supercharger isn`t a weiland.But other then that loved the episode. (Y) Im glad there posting them on utube now.They know that`s were tv is going online.loved this show for years.Keep it up Dennis great work.
Nicely done.........but where's the red dust...?........that would really top it off....btw we drive cars like this all the time in Australia..... :) .......really!
Sure we. XBs, yeah, quite a few. Blown XBs with desmo heads? ... not so often... I think we should show 'em a P76 - what'd ya rekken?
+Kneedragon1962 yeah love the falcons and the p76 was a great car too
+paul davies Mate I think the XBs were a great car, and from about the EL on, they got a rack & pinion and that transformed them. But from the XD on to the EL, shit-boxes. I drove cabs from '84 until about 2008, in Brisvegas, and I have between 1.8 & 2 million km up on Falcons, around city and suburban streets. I quite liked the early C'dores, but after the VL they got bloat, and there used to be something fundamentally 'right' about the C'dore chassis, but with the VP they f#cked it, and only in the last couple of years have they made an all new one and fixed it. Old Falcons, XW ... XB, not the greatest chassis in the world, but it worked. Then they made the XD, and they f#cked it. It wasn't until they put a rack & pinion in it that Fords started to come good again.
+No Neck would you have the heart to ruin that paint job......
Kavinsky Smith ...out here, it's unavoidable....stone damaged windscreens, smashed headlights from parrots, bent fenders from roo's, ....interestingly my neighbours, have just won the Sidchrome Volkswagon, a competition they entered, $ 70,000 worth, and they may have to drive it across Australia...east to west....ain't gonna have no purty paintjob no more....nyuk nyuk....
There isn't a single vehicle from all 4 of the mad max films that iwouldnt kill to own
what about the mazda bongo van that gets smashed in mm1?
I owned a 73 XA coupe I wished I never sold it
What about that pink Cadillac in Road Warrior?
they have great chemistry
Since everybody has already picked the cars apart, I have to point out that the Monaco is missing the spotlight. (Can't believe the nitpickers missed it) It does appear that he remembered to throw out the cigarette lighter, though! Cool cars.
Bravo! The Bluesmobile is on my list too!😎😎👌💪
That's a ford falcon that is built in Australia here Dennis gage mate that's a replica of the mad max car he has got there but the very very original mad max car is still in Silverstone pub in Australia here mate cheers from Cameron in Victoria Australia here
Where's my bike?
Bubba Zanetti i thought you knew what you where doing
Famous last words......
Dad?
Did you really crimp the brake line on gooses kaw.?
Quit toying bubba!
Ah, I see. Well, it's a really nice replica ya got there. I have a 70 torino in progress with similarities but not Scott injection. Has a BDS Setup.
My theory has always been there is a coil on the dash. Because MAX figured that would be the hardest part to find. Also blow up because it was a experimental car
Had a camel colored 74 Monaco at one time that was used as a hunting vehicle by a relative. Was the top of the line model and had a 440. Interior was pretty much the same and a lighter color than the exterior. Think I got about 11 miles to the gallon. A friend of mine and myself went see madmax on its opening. He later purchased a book on the movie which had extensive detail on the car. It listed the car as being an AMX cant remember the engine specs but was supercharged.
I keep a copy of that very book in the Interceptor. Great fun at shows
Night Rider's car is a 1972 Holden HQ Monaro :)
I can see the Mad Max Falcon-one of moviedom's most famous cars-but the Blues Brother's Dodge Monaco??
Do you have the wooden spoon in the car as a reminder of max's helecoptor partner? True fans would know who it first belonged to when they see it. It could have been a parting gift he gave max in the movie at the end of MM2. You never know. And what about the dogs red collar?
That's an excellent idea! Thank you, I'm going to add one to it right now. I have a (plush) stuffed Blue Heeler I keep in the car with the red bandana
Wow, he got the quote wrong!
There's a 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, _it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses,_ hit it!
please show the gm holden monaro too the n in font f the xb falcon
Is the blower functional? Supposedly it was a prop in Mad Max but functional in Road Warrior. Does the 351 Cleveland have phase 4 heads and dual overhead camshaft? Did Barry help with the rebuild?
I dig that car, you did a very good job matching that car!!!!!
Superb Machines indeed...
Lucky owner4sure !
So cool!
I want to be you . The man with the cars .
This channel is so 90's cheese I love it
This lad has almost everything, except the dukes of hazard charger
He's an obsessive Mad Max fan taking in every detail, but he didn't remove the front and back seats like in the movie.
dat "doge" monaco is epic
Chowbizful it was that way in the movie, so its accurate
U should get the PA system with the big speaker on the roof and have the back window shot out
I considered it, but it's only in a small part of the movie and I wanted to be able to drive this on the freeway.
Outstanding work! This guy really gets it right.
Agreed. I like his attention to detail.
why do you still have your back window? .. did not meet the good old boys?? ..
Wow until recently I thought Night Riders was Matte Black. Is that a shade of blue?
It is! It took a TON of searching and spraying test-cards to find exactly the right shade. Now - if there's a shot of the back, the area above the MFP letters is in satin black.
the v8 Interceptor is the only car i know that looks better without a front bumper.
I love the plate on the Falcon, "LAST V8." You can't have the Falcon Interceptor and not have that.
Titan11 Well now that he has it, you cant, and because in europe you cant get those custom plates, you cant
That was my fav episode i love mad max!!
*skips corvette segment*
anglicky69 what corvette?
I'm just here for the gasoline.
Guzzline*
Great work, love the movie's love the cars.
Double like for the bomb
Just would like to know can you turn on and off the blower like he did in the movie to save fuel?
+Mr.carrottop66 No you can not.
I didn't so. Thanks.
Yeah, that's what i thought. Thanks for the info.
And maxs intercepter is a 1973 XB GT ford falcon coupe
“The side is like a shrunken AMX or Javelin”
I guess most people don’t realize that the Falcon is just the Australian Torino or vice versa. We got these here but they were Torinos.
Afraid not. There isn't anything compatible between the two. The Falcon was still based on the 60's US Falcon under the skin, but was heavily revised to cope with Australian conditions and customer expectations. The original US Falcons fell apart on Australian roads.
Dan's Van Diemens Land Model Bench right, but the ‘60s falcon was originally a trim level for the Fairlane. So was the Torino. That evolution continued with the next few generations. Although the AU Falcons were revised for the Australian roads, both the 2 door 2nd and 3rd gen Torinos and the 2 door XA/XB/XC Falcons share the same body with different trim pieces and front/rear ends. Look at the two of them side to side and tell me they don’t share the same body. It’s even documented, I’m not just pulling this out of thin air.
The coil was his cigarette lighter inside the car. Lol.
Sposato it mean married in Italian..VIVA L'ITALIA! 🙋
"Fix the Lighter!"
get the yellow gto judge from the movie two lane blacktop
Where's the spotlight on the "bluesmobile"?
I was severely disappointed as a kid when the badass V-8 interceptor was destroyed in Mad Max II.
Soon it will be the last of the V8 interceptors or any other kind in 10 years times the only V8 you will see will be in a museum
If he ever wants to sell that interceptor talk to me
He'd have to be completely nuts to sell it though. But i understand the sentiment.
awesome show loved it
I wish you Americans would just restore these Aussie Falcons or at least turn em into GT replicas there's so few of them left now
Big difference between the Monaco and Royal Monaco. You couldn't top the 440 in the Royal Monaco.
The HQ should not have the flares on it.
An original XB GT Hardtop.
Max approved
Much appreciated
Why is Jake not wearing a seat belt? I drive those same roads. It's scary how everyone else around there drives!!! Besides, its against the law in this state. Then again, 2011 TX registration sticker with CA plates. What's that about?
congratulation, great job
Well, that Interceptor isn't the one from Mad Max: Road Warrior, but whatever
original is in Miami Dezer Car museum
Tim-Tam Smith No, this is a recreation, you dumbfuck!
It is the best one I have seen, however it looks way too clean, to be from the wastelands.
+DougEStyle01 - Thank you. I have done it up dirty, the trouble is that the appropriate colored sand has a very different PH from the paint and when I took it off to check on the paint I had a bunch of little bullseyes all over. Had to work to fix that. And my goal is long-term survival and running condition, so I keep it a bit cleaner, but not much.
+PatrolmanDark Well when the world falls apart I'm sure you'll get the right coloring as you scour the wastelands for gasoline, twinkles, and supplies ;)

mad max beauty car
Nightrider's HQ Monaro at 1m12s???
The front end is gone in the second movie
The top part of the nose is present at the beginning of the second movie, getting smashed during the chase when he smashes the Landau from behind
dood is that the real mad max car or a replica made in australia ? The real one had a chassis number prefix of JG66.
Darron Mecak Did you watch the video?
@@hypnotised-clover no. He's clearly "special".
@@jasonbetcher2159 Very "special"
@@hypnotised-clover lmao....
In the second movie Max's black car only had a driver's side mirror...:/
So did the original in the 1st film
This is true. But since I drive this car every weekend, a couple thousand miles every year, I figured it was worth adding one on the passenger side for safety. The blind spots on an XB Coupe are HUGE!
original is in Miami Dezer car museum
Mark Smyth Im nearly certain its not legal to drive with only one
how wide are the rims and what size tires were used?
+clickclick vroom 295/50/15s on the back, 245/60/15s on the front.
All that’s missing is the switch to turn on the supercharger
Nope, it’s there too.
@@MyClassicCarTV what I meant was can he turn on and off the super charger with the button?
Yup
Mad max is awesome
What are those rear wheels? Make? Model? I cant seem to find out...
The rear wheels on the Interceptor are custom made for that vehicle.
What specifications do u use to get a set made?
Ion Racer I'm sorry, I don't know. They were on the car when I bought it.
So even the original aussie wheels were special made?
Ion Racer Yessir. The fronts where Sunraysias, I believe, but I was told the rears were custom made for the beast.
does the dodge have the 440??????????
It better have the 440 plant with cop shocks, cop tires and cop suspension and it better be the model built before catalytic converters so she'll run good on regular gas.
Why are these cars right hand drive???
Australia drives on the left, case you didn't know ;)
