The 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Pursuit Special, famously known as the “Interceptor,” is one of the most iconic cars in the post-apocalyptic Mad Max film. Believe it or not, this was an Australian-based muscle car. Bringing this kind of performance and power to the screen wasn’t an easy task. The car was heavily modified to have an end-of-the-world look and feel to it. There was no expense spared to give the car a unique look and feel (via Fandom).

Mel Gibson looked right at home driving this car off into the sunset. The XB GT itself was produced in limited quantities which is why the car is so noticeable even in these films. The Falcon itself was a well-known muscle car but it wasn’t a very successful experiment for Ford.
