The car is most probably an XB Falcon with a GS pack or a Fairmont (Fairmonts were also optioned with a GS pack). Both came with an optional 302 or 351 Cleveland. The car doesn't have a GT badge on the grille so it's probably an optioned car, not a GT. The grille would have been an option for the car. As you say the interior was plain, it was probably a fairmont. The motor is a 351 clevo too, as the bottom has a 302 clevo, probably a Fairmont or an optioned Falcon. When I watch the movie again (DVD player is broken) I could tell you. (Used to own one) |

What does "MFP" stand for? Also, why does Max's car have a slightly different paint job? |

MFP = Main Force Patrol, I think Max's car is Intereceptor, others are Pursuit. Different job I guess  |

For a time, the Ford Falcon was sold in the U.S. Why did they discontinue it there? On this note, I think they should start selling the new Falcon here, considering that the Holden Monaro is available here as the new Pontiac GTO. |

Hey, in one picture, Max's Interceptor appears to have "MFP + some ID number" on the roof. Can anyone tell what numbers those are? |

Ignore the previous comment. I found that it was 508. Big Bopper's (Roop & Charlie's car) number is 08. Now, if only I could find March Hare's (Sarse & Scuttle's car) number. |

Max's yellow Inteceptor is floor mounted automatic transmission while Roop/Charlie's yellow Pursuit is column mounted automatic transmission |

Yeah, I noticed that Max's Interceptor had the floor-mounted auto tranny, but I never really paid attention to Big Bopper's tranny. Now, I have some questions: How can 2 ex-police cars of the same year & tranny type have different mounting positions? Is it because of the different engine types? Also, what kind of transmission does March Hare (Sarse & Scuttle's yellow pursuit car) have? On a different note, does anyone know the font used for the word "INTERCEPTOR" on Max's car? I've seen some similar fonts used on replicas, but never the exact one. |

It's my understanding that the American Falcon and Australian Falcon were sold simultaneously (the American ones being imported for sale in Australia), however the American Falcon suffered from declining sales. Sales for the introductory year, 1960, were 435,671, whereas by 1967 sales had dropped to around 64,000. The compact Falcon was discontinued after 1969, and for 1970 it was moved up to a Torino variant (a stripped-down Torino, I believe, with a different grille), yet 1970 Falcon are extremely rare. There have been no Falcons in the U.S. since 1970. After the Americna Falcon's discontinuation, Australia continued to produce their own version of the Falcon, which has been a constant success. Go figure. -- Last edit: 2007-04-02 21:13:23 |

Okay, I checked out Wikipedia: All Australian Falcons were in fact built in Australia starting in 1960, however they were built as carbon copies of the American Falcon. Australia started producing its own Falcons in 1964. |

Max isnt the only one with INTERCEPTOR on his car. Sarse and scuttle have it too. Roop and charlie are the only pursuit guys. |

Dieselpwr, there's still plenty XA and XB sedans available in Australia, even a few companies shipping them over to America. |

I know this is kind of an old thread. I'm assuming you are as a big a fan of Max as i am. Sarse and Scuttle's car is a flat six, so maybe those came with the column mounted shifter. One of the opening scenes shows their interceptor burning oil, but smoke only comes out of one tail pipe. This is because the other tailpipe is a mock up. Max and the Nightrider have the only V8s. I've never been able to figure out the difference between pursuit and interceptors, however, pursuit specials seem to be "unmarked" cars with only a small discreet MFP badge somewhere on the side, and inside-mounted police lights. |

Sarse and Scuttle at vehicle_131364-Ford-Falcon-XB-1974.html as described. Nightrider at vehicle_3174-Holden-Monaro-HQ-1972.html as described. I think these vehicles titles were made up by Byron Kennedy and George Miller, I guess. |
